Page 8740

          1            JUDGE JORDA:  What is his name, Mr. Cayley?

          2  Of course, he'll tell us.

          3            Do you hear me, Captain?

          4            THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.

          5            JUDGE JORDA:  Please remain standing for as

          6  long as it will take to read the solemn declaration

          7  handed to you by the usher.

          8            Read it, please.

          9            THE WITNESS: I solemnly declare that I will

         10  speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the

         11  truth.

         12            JUDGE JORDA:  Thank you.  Please tell us your

         13  rank, your first and last name.

         14            THE WITNESS: My name is captain Eric

         15  Liebert.

         16            JUDGE JORDA:  Please be seated.

         17            The Prosecutor --  as you know, Captain, you

         18  have been called before the International Tribunal as a

         19  Prosecution witness in the case against General

         20  Blaskic.

         21            The Prosecutor has summarised your testimony,

         22  so I ask you to focus on the particular points of

         23  interest after which, of course, questions will be put

         24  to you by the Defence counsel and possibly by the

         25  Judges.


Page 8741

          1            Mr. Cayley, will you begin, please?

          2            MR. CAYLEY:  Two points before I begin the

          3  examination-in-chief, Mr. President.

          4            This witness, I will have to direct more than

          5  I know has become convention in the courtroom.  That is

          6  because his evidence is relevant to certain dates,

          7  unless you want to hear the entire history of his tour

          8  from May of 1993 until October of 1993.

          9            I think it's a more effective way of

         10  proceeding.

         11            Secondly, the witness does have two

         12  contemporaneous notebooks, very much in the way of a

         13  police officer's notebook, which he will refer to.  I

         14  have not read them, but in order to give specific

         15  details about certain matters he will need to look at

         16  those notebooks.

         17       Q.   Captain Liebert, am I correct in saying that

         18  you joined the Canadian Army as an officer cadet in

         19  October, 1985?

         20       A.   That is correct.

         21       Q.   And I think you were commissioned into

         22  Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 1989?

         23       A.   That's correct.

         24       Q.   And I think you've held various junior

         25  command and training command positions; is that


Page 8742

          1  correct, in your career?

          2       A.   That's correct.

          3       Q.   I think in July of 1992 you went as an

          4  exchange officer from your registerment to the Royal

          5  22nd Regiment of Canada?

          6       A.   Yes, I did serve with the 2nd Battalion of

          7  the Royal 22nd Regiment as the PPCLI exchange officer.

          8       Q.   Something needs correcting in the

          9  transcript.  This isn't a particularly important point,

         10  but you joined the Canadian Army as an officer cadet in

         11  1985, not 1995?

         12       A.   No, 1985 is the date.

         13       Q.   Thank you.  Now, I think that regiment, the

         14  Royal 22nd Regiment was actually assigned by the

         15  Canadian Government as part of the UN protection force

         16  in, I believe, April of 1993; is that correct?

         17       A.   Yes, we received our warning orders

         18  approximately four to six months ahead of that.  We

         19  were deployed as part of UNPROFOR from April, 1993

         20  through until early November, 1993.

         21       Q.   And I think you arrived in the Republic of

         22  Croatia in April of 1993 and you arrived in

         23  Bosnia-Herzegovina on the 30th of April, 1993?

         24       A.   That is correct.

         25       Q.   And you remained in-theatre until November,


Page 8743

          1  1993?

          2       A.   Early November, 1993.

          3       Q.   Now, during your tour in Bosnia-Herzegovina,

          4  am I correct in saying you were the senior liaison

          5  officer for the battalion?

          6       A.   That is correct.

          7       Q.   Can you briefly explain to the court your

          8  responsibilities as the senior liaison officer?

          9       A.   My responsibilities as the senior liaison

         10  officer can be described as follows:  My primary

         11  responsibility would be the coordination of my

         12  activities and the activities of the officers, the

         13  liaison officers that served underneath me.

         14            My primary responsibilities focused on

         15  coordinating my battle group's operations with the

         16  operations of the UNHCR and the International Red Cross

         17  in support of our mandate, which was basically to

         18  provide protection for those organisations and the

         19  other non-governmental organisations that were

         20  operating in-theatre at that time.

         21            I also performed liaison functions with

         22  flanking units and headquarters, and I carried out

         23  other specific duties as were tasked to me by my

         24  battalion commander.

         25       Q.   I think when you referred to flanking units,


Page 8744

          1  you're speaking specifically of other regiments from

          2  around the world that were part of the UN protection

          3  force?

          4       A.   That is correct.

          5       Q.   Did you have a lot of contact with the

          6  British battalion in Vitez?

          7       A.   That was my specific area of interest when it

          8  came to flanking units.

          9       Q.   If the witness could be shown the first

         10  exhibit?  I'm not certain what the number of the next

         11  exhibit is, Exhibit 362?

         12            MR. DUBUISSON:  Yes, that is Exhibit 362.

         13            MR. CAYLEY:

         14       Q.   Captain Liebert, can you explain to the court

         15  what this map represents?

         16       A.   This map, the shaded area anyway, represents

         17  the Canadian battalion area of operations during my

         18  tour, as well as I could with the resources available.

         19            As you can see, the Canadian area of

         20  operations extends from the town of Tarcan in the south

         21  up through to an area an opstina known as Olovo to the

         22  north.

         23            Separate to our principal area of operations

         24  was the enclave of Srebrenica in the east.  We had two

         25  companies in this enclave throughout on the tour.


Page 8745

          1       Q.   Now, the presence of two infantry companies

          2  in Srebrenica, these troops were physically dislocated

          3  from the battle group's headquarters in Visoko; is that

          4  correct?

          5       A.   That is correct.  There was a physical

          6  separation of more than 100 kilometres.

          7       Q.   Was it possible to easily travel by road from

          8  Visoko to Srebrenica?

          9       A.   No, it wasn't.  We were able to do so once

         10  every six weeks or so with successful cooperation with

         11  the Bosnian Serb forces ahead of time.

         12            In order to move to Srebrenica, we had to

         13  move north through to Tuzla, basically across to

         14  Zovornic and then down south to the Srebrenica enclave.

         15       Q.   How did the commanding officer of the battle

         16  group in Visoko remain contact with Srebrenica?

         17       A.   On a day-to-day basis we used the radio and

         18  satellite telephone to maintain communications on a

         19  minute to minute, hour to hour basis.

         20            In addition to that, I believe on three or

         21  four occasions during my tour the commanding officer

         22  visited the enclave.

         23            In most cases, those visits were conducted by

         24  helicopter, rather than road.

         25       Q.   Now, the fact that the commanding officer of


Page 8746

          1  the battle group rarely visited Srebrenica, did he ever

          2  regard that area, the commanding officer, as not being

          3  under his command?

          4       A.   Negative.  It was always under his command.

          5            JUDGE JORDA:  Captain, when answering the

          6  questions, will you please face the Judges?

          7            THE WITNESS:  Yes, sir.

          8            MR. CAYLEY:

          9       Q.   Captain Liebert, is it fairly usual in

         10  military operations that parts of a force become

         11  dislocated from a main headquarters?

         12       A.   I would say, in my opinion, that it is a

         13  normal aspect of both military and United Nations

         14  operations.

         15       Q.   Have you ever, yourself, been involved in

         16  other United Nations operations where you have been

         17  physically dislocated from your headquarters and been

         18  unable to easily travel back to your superior

         19  headquarters?

         20       A.   Yes.  In 1990 when I was deployed on the

         21  Island of Cyprus, I served in the area known as the

         22  Lower Gina pocket.  I was physically separated from my

         23  company headquarters by a distance of about 26

         24  kilometres and, from my battalion headquarters, with a

         25  distance of about 34 kilometres.


Page 8747

          1            In between me and both those headquarters

          2  were various checkpoints controlled by either the Greek

          3  Cypriots, or the Turk Cypriots, and movement at night

          4  was difficult as it had to be coordinated.

          5       Q.   Let us move back to the Republic of Bosnia

          6  and Herzegovina.  Can you relate to the court your

          7  first formal dealings with commander Rajic at the HVO

          8  headquarters in Kiseljak and with Lieutenant Vinko

          9  Lucic?

         10       A.   I probably made my first visit to that

         11  headquarters either as part of our handover at the very

         12  beginning of my tour or shortly thereafter.

         13            One of the first impressions that I can

         14  recall from my work with that headquarters was the

         15  attitude of Mr. Rajic and his staff.  I was given the

         16  impression that they had a disregard for the welfare of

         17  the Bosnian Muslim population in the areas under their

         18  control.  I was given that impression because of some

         19  concerns I expressed, and the response that I

         20  received.

         21            My concerns were met by what I interpreted as

         22  callous jokes.  My concerns about what was happening to

         23  civilians in that area were met with jokes about the

         24  fact that this would basically improve the situation in

         25  the end.  That is what clearly sticks in my mind at


Page 8748

          1  this time.

          2            JUDGE RIAD:  Excuse me, what would improve

          3  the situation in the end?

          4       A.   The departure of the Bosnian Muslim civilians

          5  that were living in that area would improve the

          6  situation from their point of view.

          7            JUDGE RIAD:  Thank you.

          8            MR. CAYLEY:

          9       Q.   Captain Liebert, what position did you

         10  understand that Mr. Rajic occupied at the headquarters?

         11       A.   Mr. Rajic was obviously the commander, and

         12  from what I witnessed there, maintained an effective

         13  control over the soldiers in his areas under his

         14  control.

         15       Q.   Who was Mr. Vinko Lucic?

         16       A.   Mr. Vinko Lucic was, what I would call, a

         17  public affairs officer, to use the Canadian term to

         18  describe his position.  He was a spokesman of sorts,

         19  both for Mr. Rajic and also for senior HVO commanders

         20  above Mr. Rajic.

         21       Q.   And when you first met Mr. Lucic, what was

         22  his attitude towards the Bosnian Muslim civilian

         23  population?

         24       A.   Mr. Lucic shared the attitude that Mr. Rajic

         25  and his staff held at that time.


Page 8749

          1       Q.   Are you aware of the subordinate headquarters

          2  that fell under the HVO command in Kiseljak?

          3       A.   My recollection of that arrangement was that

          4  there were basically three brigades that fell under

          5  Mr. Rajic's command.

          6            One of those brigades basically operated in

          7  the area of Fojnica Kresevo.  That was commanded by a

          8  Mr. Bronko Stanic.

          9            There was a second brigade that operated in

         10  the area of Kiseljak proper.  I don't recall the name

         11  of that commander.  I had very little contact with

         12  him.

         13            And there was a third brigade that operated

         14  in the area of Vares.  I believe it was called the

         15  Bobovac brigade and it was commanded by a man named

         16  Emil Herik.

         17       Q.   Did the British battalion inform you who the

         18  superior commander in Kiseljak was?

         19       A.   My understanding was that Mr. Blaskic was a

         20  superior commander and, in fact, Mr. Rajic's superior.

         21            That belief was formed on information given

         22  to me by the British.

         23       Q.   If the witness could be shown Exhibit 363.

         24  Now, this is a diagram that you drew for me at my

         25  request and which has now been computer generated.  Is


Page 8750

          1  this accurate in all respects with the chain of command

          2  that I asked you to draw out?

          3       A.   Yes, it is accurate.

          4       Q.   Can you explain to the court the views of

          5  Mr. Emil Herik and then the role and views respectively

          6  of Mr. Zvonko Dusnovic?

          7       A.   Mr. Herik was the commander in the Vares

          8  area.  Of all the Bosnian Croat commanders that I dealt

          9  with, he was the most moderate of the Bosnian Croat

         10  commanders.  He was in a very difficult position

         11  militarily in that Vares was almost completely

         12  surrounded by either Bosnian Muslim forces or Bosnian

         13  Serb forces.

         14            I never had any indications that he shared

         15  the views of the other officers noted here.  It is for

         16  that reason, I believe, that Mr. Zvonko Dusnovic was

         17  employed in the Vares area.  He was the head of a

         18  security force that operated on a separate chain of

         19  command.  He did not work for Mr. Herik, and, indeed, I

         20  was given the impression through my dealings with

         21  Mr. Herik that the security force intimidated him and

         22  threatened him.  Maybe not directly, but there was

         23  obviously a concern on his part about those people.

         24            My interpretation of the situation is that

         25  this security detachment was in place to compensate for


Page 8751

          1  the moderate views of Mr. Herik and to ensure that he

          2  complied with the direction from above.

          3       Q.   What views did Mr. Dusnovic express to you

          4  about the Bosnia people?

          5       A.   Mr. Dusnovic was the most extreme person I

          6  met working with the Bosnian Croat forces in central

          7  Bosnia.

          8            On at least one occasion we had a discussion,

          9  a rather one-way discussion, where I was lectured on

         10  the need for the Bosnian Muslims to be forced out of

         11  the area.  And the reason why the conflict was

         12  necessary.  Mr. Dusnovic believed that Bosnian Muslims

         13  were a lesser breed of people, so to speak, and, in

         14  fact, the term he used to describe them, he never

         15  referred to them as Muslims, he referred to them as

         16  Turks.

         17       Q.   Now, returning very briefly to the

         18  headquarters in Kiseljak, the HVO headquarters, how

         19  well organised was it from your military experience?

         20       A.   My initial impressions of that headquarters

         21  was that it was quite well organised.  The barracks

         22  that it was situated in were purpose built, they were

         23  built by the old Yugoslavia army to serve as an army

         24  barracks.

         25            It was well organised in that when I would


Page 8752

          1  arrive at the front gate I would be met by a guard who

          2  would call up either an escort or the person I was

          3  there to visit.  I would be escorted into their office

          4  complex, which was set up much like an office would be

          5  in Canada or elsewhere.  That office was served by a

          6  staff.  There were secretaries present.  There were

          7  other subordinates present to assist.

          8            And Mr. Rajic was served by a subordinate

          9  staff, including a chief of staff that helped him

         10  exercise his authority.

         11            So I would describe it as a fairly normal

         12  setup as far as command and control is concerned.

         13            MR. CAYLEY:  Mr. President, this brings me to

         14  the next section of the testimony, and the next section

         15  is quite lengthy.  Because of time, if you wish me to

         16  stop at this point, I can.

         17            JUDGE JORDA:  No, we will go on until a

         18  quarter to six because we started at 2.45, so perhaps

         19  you can proceed to your next section.

         20            MR. CAYLEY:  Fine.  Thank you,

         21  Mr. President.

         22       Q.   Captain Liebert, in early May, I think you

         23  had the opportunity to visit the village of Rotilj and

         24  Visnjica and I wonder if you can narrate that visit to

         25  the court, with the aid of the next exhibit, which is


Page 8753

          1  Exhibit 364.

          2            Now, this, I think, is, again, an exhibit

          3  which you prepared and which has, again, been converted

          4  by the computer.  If you could explain to the court

          5  your entry route into the village and what you found in

          6  circle 1 and then the journey you took around Visnjica

          7  and what you sighted as you went on this circular

          8  route.

          9       A.   Yes.  What you have before you is an aerial

         10  photograph, and I'm going to try my best to point the

         11  route out that I took on my first visit to this area.

         12  Starting off in the town of Kiseljak, I and I was

         13  accompanied by my counterpart.  We approached the town

         14  or the village of Rotilj from a road that started in

         15  Kiseljak, moved up through a checkpoint, roughly in

         16  this location.  That checkpoint was manned by HVO

         17  soldiers, and at this stage of my tour, we still had

         18  significant freedom of movement, so we moved through

         19  that checkpoint without too much difficulty and into

         20  the area that's circled here.

         21            At that location, I encountered the first

         22  damaged, visibly damaged houses in the area, and it was

         23  my first exposure to the effects of what had happened

         24  there.  The impression it left with me is very vivid

         25  and very striking, because I was taken back by the


Page 8754

          1  surgical nature of the damage, and I use that term

          2  because, as you drove through this area, there would be

          3  houses that were burnt out.  There would be one or two

          4  or three, and right in the middle of them, you would

          5  see another house that was still intact and, indeed,

          6  inhabited.  And then a little further down the road,

          7  there would be more destroyed houses.  There was no

          8  pattern to this or no immediate pattern and upon

          9  talking to the inhabitants, it quickly became clear

         10  that the damaged houses were basically the property of

         11  Bosnian Muslim civilians, and, in a lot of cases, the

         12  undamaged ones were the property of Bosnian Croats.

         13            Now, there still were some houses in this

         14  area that were habitable and either undamaged or only

         15  lightly damaged that belonged to Bosnian Muslims, but

         16  it was very stark and surprising on how this damage had

         17  been inflicted.

         18            Based on my experience in Cypress, which was

         19  all I had to draw on, the way in which these houses

         20  were damaged was somewhat surprising as well.  In most

         21  cases, or at least in many cases, the four walls of the

         22  building were intact, and there was a lack of what I

         23  would describe as battle damage, that you could see in

         24  the buffer zone in Cypress, the zone that I operated

         25  in, when I was there.


Page 8755

          1            We proceeded along the road through the

          2  second part of the village.  The damage at this end of

          3  the road was much less extensive, and basically

          4  followed a route around into the area of Visnjica down

          5  here.  (Indicating).  In Visnjica at the very edge of

          6  the screen, there were a number of houses that were

          7  still intact, and myself and Captain Lambert, the

          8  officer that was with me, stopped there for coffee.  We

          9  had coffee with a couple men that turned out to be

         10  Bosnian Croats and we basically took a few minutes

         11  there to just relax and have some more contact with the

         12  villagers.

         13            In the course of this meeting, the two

         14  elderly Bosnian Croat men that I was visiting with

         15  advised us or told us that they had helped burn their

         16  neighbour's villages.  Now, I found this somewhat

         17  surprising, because they were quite elderly.  I would

         18  guess somewhere between 55 and 65 years old, and

         19  secondly, my understanding of the history of the area

         20  led me to believe that they had been living together

         21  with these people for approximately 30 years or so.  So

         22  our first question was, why did you do this if you've

         23  been living together with these people so long?  Their

         24  answer to me was it was time for them to go.  That

         25  pretty well broke up coffee and we decided to carry on


Page 8756

          1  with our trip.

          2            We continued to move down the road and into

          3  the area that is circled there and identified by the

          4  number 2.  At one end of that, at the extreme right, is

          5  the Visnjica Mosque which was burned out and destroyed

          6  by the time I arrived there, and there were several

          7  houses in much the same state as the houses I saw when

          8  I first entered the village.  Again, the pattern of

          9  destruction seemed to be quite discriminant, in that

         10  there were destroyed houses located in close proximity

         11  to undamaged houses.  We completed our circuit and I

         12  can't recall exactly where we came out, but we moved

         13  back out onto the road and returned to the camp.  That

         14  was my first visit to the Rotilj/Visnjica area.

         15       Q.   How extensive was the destruction that you

         16  saw?

         17       A.   The destruction, as you can see here, was

         18  quite spread out.  It wasn't concentrated, but the

         19  affected areas were very noticeably damaged.  There

         20  were houses on either side of the road, destroyed, and

         21  those houses that were destroyed were uninhabitable.

         22  They were basically burned out.

         23       Q.   Were you made aware of when this burning took

         24  place?

         25       A.   The briefing that I received from Captain


Page 8757

          1  Lambert and other briefings I received by Captain

          2  Lanthier, led me to believe that this damage had been

          3  inflicted approximately two weeks previously.  I did

          4  not witness any of the damage that was done in the area

          5  at this time.

          6       Q.   So you're not aware who actually carried out

          7  this burning of all of these houses, are you?

          8       A.   Exactly.

          9       Q.   Now, at this time, did you have occasion to

         10  see the Mosque in Kiseljak?

         11       A.   If I remember correctly, either on this visit

         12  or shortly thereafter, I saw the Kiseljak Mosque, and

         13  if my recollection is correct, I recall seeing that

         14  Mosque damaged by the time I got there.  It was burnt

         15  by the time I arrived.

         16       Q.   And this was all in early May of 1993?

         17       A.   That is correct.

         18       Q.   Can you tell the court, your knowledge of the

         19  activities of Radio Kiseljak?

         20       A.   Obviously my direct knowledge of Radio

         21  Kiseljak is limited, because the bulk of their

         22  transmissions were in Serbo-Croat and unintelligible to

         23  me.  However, I am led to believe that Radio Kiseljak

         24  played a very active role in terms of propaganda for

         25  the HVO or HDZ, the Bosnian Croat forces.  The reason


Page 8758

          1  why I'm led to believe that is I, on a separate

          2  occasion in another area, was interviewing people

          3  outside of the Kiseljak pocket or the zone controlled

          4  by the Bosnian Croats.  The people I was interviewing

          5  wanted me to pass some information to their relatives

          6  about their welfare, that they were okay.  As this

          7  information had no military significance, I passed this

          8  information to a staff officer in the UNPROFOR

          9  headquarters in Kiseljak.  The information was

         10  subsequently passed to the people in Kiseljak over the

         11  radio.  The next time I visited these people, they were

         12  very upset at me because this information had been

         13  broadcast over that radio, and they made it very clear

         14  that they felt that I had placed their relatives at

         15  risk by passing the information that way.  It was not

         16  something I expected to happen, and I was quite taken

         17  aback by their reaction.

         18       Q.   The people that you were assisting by passing

         19  this information, were Bosnian Muslims?

         20       A.   That is correct.

         21       Q.   If we can move forward now, in time, to the

         22  13th of May 1993, when you had a meeting in Zenica

         23  which I think was your first meeting as a liaison

         24  officer with the non-governmental organisations at work

         25  in central Bosnia, and if you can state to the court


Page 8759

          1  what was discussed at that meeting?

          2       A.   Okay.  The date of the meeting was 3 May and

          3  not 13 May.

          4       Q.   I'm sorry, 3 May.

          5       A.   This was my first meeting in Zenica.  This is

          6  what we described as an NGO meeting or non-governmental

          7  organisational meeting.  It was chaired by the UNHCR

          8  and attended by all the non-governmental organisations

          9  and the international committee of the Red Cross.  Also

         10  present were a representative from the Canadian

         11  battalion, a representative from the British battalion,

         12  usually also a representative from the dutch transport

         13  battalion, and when possible, a representative from the

         14  UNPROFOR headquarters in Kiseljak.  At this particular

         15  meeting, I'm referring to the notes I made at the time,

         16  the following topics were discussed.  The first point

         17  that was brought up and likely brought up by a Ms.

         18  Margaret Green who was a legal officer in Zenica at the

         19  time, was that the ethnic cleansing that had been

         20  experienced in the area was likely to continue.  That

         21  was a general comment applied to basically the whole of

         22  central Bosnia.

         23            Also stated was that displaced people were

         24  likely to be found in Visoko and Kiseljak and that

         25  there was little information available on the actual


Page 8760

          1  numbers of those people and their state at that time.

          2  I was also informed that the HVO had begun to issue

          3  eviction notices in their areas.  They had not received

          4  any reports of the same activity happening in areas

          5  controlled by the ABiH.  There was a report of Bosnian

          6  Serb activity in the area of Banja Luka, also, again,

          7  involving ethnic cleansing and the unconfirmed report

          8  of approximately 2,000 displaced people moving towards

          9  Novi Travnik.  There was a report that approximately

         10  1200 displaced people had moved from Kiseljak to

         11  Visoko, and then there were various other

         12  administrative points discussed.

         13       Q.   Now, the eviction notices that were being

         14  issued by the HVO, were these being issued to Bosnian

         15  Muslim civilians in Kiseljak?

         16       A.   That is my understanding, yes.

         17       Q.   And the people, the 1,200 people that were

         18  moving from Kiseljak to Visoko, were these Bosnian

         19  Muslim people?

         20       A.   That is my understanding.  This is

         21  information reported to me and not information that I

         22  witnessed myself.

         23       Q.   And the ethnic cleansing taking place, this

         24  was being directed at the Bosnian Muslim population in

         25  central Bosnia?


Page 8761

          1       A.   At this particular stage of the conflict,

          2  that is my understanding, yes.

          3       Q.   And this was a general understanding of all

          4  of these people sitting at this table from all these

          5  NGO's?

          6       A.   That was, basically, information that was

          7  presented to the group as a whole.  Now it may not have

          8  been presented by the same person, but those were

          9  points that were discussed in front of the group.

         10            MR. CAYLEY:  Mr. President, we are now moving

         11  to a major new area now, which is going to take longer

         12  than five minutes.  I can begin if you wish or cease at

         13  this point.

         14            JUDGE JORDA:  That is right.  We are going to

         15  stop now.  It is quarter to six.  I have been told that

         16  tomorrow morning when we begin at 10.00, that we will

         17  be moving to courtroom number 1.  Is that so,

         18  Mr. Registrar?

         19            THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honour.

         20            JUDGE JORDA:  For the whole day?

         21            THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, as well as Thursday.

         22            JUDGE JORDA:  Very well.  So this incursion

         23  to courtroom 2 will end.  We're going back to our

         24  original courtroom.  We will adjourn and resume

         25  tomorrow at 10.00 in courtroom number 1.
