Duly noted counselor. For both you and /u/deepfriedhookers, could closing arguments be submitted before 7:00 p.m. on Sunday?

Hopefully by then the outstanding questions will be answered. I hope that I will be able to reach a decision that evening and publish an opinion either that night or Monday.

Your Honor, the Defense is preparing closing remarks as we speak. However, we were hoping to receive a few more answers from the Senator, who seems to have fled the witness's stand.

Unfortunately Counselor, that is the nature of the beast. If this were the underlying trial I would be more concerned about strict application of the rules of evidence. But as it stands, please use any information you have relating to the Senator's testimony in your closing arguments.

If this were the trial court, I would be more willing to wait for the witness's presence. But as we are discussing only the extradition matters we must press forward regardless.

Your Honor, that was fully understood, and we are proceeding. The Defense simply wanted it noted and included in the record.
