8:30 am
lists tomorrow in light of our rulings today? >> may be just the same exhibit list with a notation of what the ruling was would make sense. for the record of what we have. >> we would like that have until wednesday. we are in the process of filing the exhibit list based in part on the response of the receipt of declarations from mr. mertens and miss madison. chairperson hur: who would be the sponsoring witness? >> they are voluminous. i cannot tell you off the top of my head. chairperson hur: ok. can you describe the nature of these exhibits? what are they? >> some of them are transcripts of interviews with ms. madison and mr. mertens. police interviews with those
8:31 am
individuals. also a transcript of an interview with miss williams. also, other documents we would like to submit relative to the sheriff's declaration. documents relative to nearly all of the declarations. there are many of them and i do not have all of them memorized and ready to go immediately writ i think i could have them by wednesday. chairperson hur: i thought that you all were exchanging the exhibit lists today. i will give you to the close of business tomorrow to its trains them with whatever notations you want. the parties need to exchange so that the -- so that you all can submit whatever objections you may have to documents and get them to us so that we them by the 28. i expected and that thing the commission agreed with me that we expected to see all documents
8:32 am
that you intended to introduce in the case with your declarations. if you are talking about rebuttal exhibits or exhibits that you would use to impeach a witness, to me, i do not think these need to be on exhibit lists. i welcome the views of my fellow commissioners. it sounds like that is the type of evidence you are talking about. >> to some extent, that is true. there may be some exhibits that we would wish to submit for impeachment purposes without necessarily calling the witness. chairperson hur: you want to introduce an exhibit to impeach a witness who is not here to testify? to be cross-examined? >> i am not saying we
8:33 am
definitely want to do that but i am holding that out as a possibility. given the strict rules of evidence do not apply, we would also have exhibits in mind that we would like to submit in the interest of time. it may not make sense to cross- examine a witness for said. on the other hand, there may be exhibits, transcripts of interviews that maybe probative for your deliberations. >> at that point, you could give them as the other exhibits and testimony that you have admitted or will admit. give them the weight that you think they deserve. chairperson hur: that is not what i had in mind for how exhibits would work. i know we have a number of litigators on this and we all have our views. i would welcome the thoughts of my fellow commissioners.
8:34 am
>> what i anticipated is that each side would supply the other with a list of exhibits they intend to put in. if there are any foundation objections, those would be flaws. hopefully, there will not be or there will be very few. the question is whether or not the document is admissible without any testimony. again, you may have agreement on that. if you do not, then those documents can be identified and presented to us and we can rule on them whenever you want to put them in. if you alerted us, at the beginning, for those where there is no challenge to the foundation of the document and the only challenge goes to whether or not they are admissible, for whatever reason,
8:35 am
there might be an objection. if those are all going to be used in connection with the presentation of a witness, that is one way to do it. the other way is by saying, offering them the case. that is my understanding. chairperson hur: thank you. any other use? >> i did expect -- i know the rules of evidence are being very relaxed, but i did expect the sponsor and witnessed for the exhibits unless there was a stipulation of some sort. when you say transcripts of interviews, what are you referring to? >> miss madison and mr. mertens and ms. williams were all interviewed by police. there are transcripts of those interviews. similarly to the transcripts -- well, it is not similar at all. earlier admitted the court
8:36 am
transcripts from ms. flores' testimony gary >> we reserve on that but that is foreign testimony, correct? >> yes. you do not have to admit them. we do intend to submit them. then you can make a decision whether or not you want to admit them as admissible. >> under your scenario, would we get them in time to allow us to have the witness in person to reconcile the documentary offer for the previous interview transcript with live testimony? if it came in late in the process, that could make it difficult. if we knew it was coming early
8:37 am
on, it might signal that we wanted certain witnesses available. or we might feel that it did not trigger that and it was reconciled without them. >> i am not sure the question that you ask, but i can say that i will get the closing party and the commission, our exhibit list by the close of business tomorrow. chairperson hur: that would be great. if we could have objections by the end of friday. is that possible? >> i am a little confused and seeking clarification. in the scheduling conversations we had had with commissioner hur, we discussed all together submitting a exhibits and a
8:38 am
procedure whereby by today, both sides would submit the exhibits that did not come in through a declaration. that is what we have been prepared to submit. we only have four submissions. we have given to our evidence for declarations. it is unclear to me now if there is a whole new process where we are starting with objections to everybody's documents. are we just talking about this subset of documents or is the door wide open again? >> my understanding was that any documents -- any documentary evidence not submitted with the declaration that you intended to lose -- that you intended to use would be included on the exhibit list. i am proposing that we extend the deadline until tomorrow because it sounds like there were some technical difficulties and there are some
8:39 am
telephone records that needed redacting. perhaps that can all be done and we can have these lists in a complete form by the end of the day tomorrow. that is my point. by friday, i would like to see -- or monday, if that is too soon for it. the process i thought we were discussing if you would meet and confer, stipulate to those documents which there was no objection. if there were objections, there would be submitted so we would be able to rule on them. >> is the commission going to entertain objections to a -- two documents attached to declarations you have are the reviewed? or is that topic close now? >> if we have sustained an objection to a paragraph that includes an exhibit, that document is out. >> would there be a second chance to object to other exhibits in the same declaration
8:40 am
that has party -- that had already been considered? chairperson hur: i was not anticipating that. i think we are all talking about the same thing. please let me know if we are not. >> i am not, in any way, criticizing. it is just difficult to get clarity later if i do not have it today. >> we will endeavor to is to a press release that summarizes all of our decisions today. >> there is one documentary submission that we gave notice of and that is that we will be ultimately submitting some of sheriff mirkarimi under the party admission rule. i want to wait until he testifies because our submission after he testifies would be smaller than it would be before he testifies. that is, if he is going to testify.
8:41 am
there is no need to submit public statements that reflect those facts. what i would like to do is wait until after he has testified to submit those admissions. chairperson hur: i would like to allow a mr.kopp and mr. wagner to address that. chairperson hur: that is fine -- >> that is fine with us. chairperson hur: ok. that is fine by me. >> this chair will be called by you and your case and chief. is it agreeable, mr. kopp, that you or whenever council is handling it, are you going to wait and put him on when you put your case on? >> we will do it at the same time. chairperson hur: in that case,
8:42 am
we would allow some leeway on the redirect. >> the objections to the exhibits will be submitted by the end of the day tomorrow are due when? chairperson hur: the objections should be due by monday. the 25th. again, the point is to give you guys a chance to stipulate where stipulation is opprobrious so that we do not have to deal with an objection every single exhibit. is that acceptable to the commission? anything else that we need to deal with? >> not on our part. thank you. >> nothing for us. >> i do not think so. chairperson hur: commissioners,
8:43 am
do we need a motion to adopt the interim decisions that we made throughout the evening? >> it is a custom. you do not need it but you usually do it. chairperson hur: is there a motion to adopt the evidentiary and scheduling decisions that the commission has made drug the course of the evening? >> so moved. chairperson hur: all in favor. opposed. there being none, the meeting is adjourned.
8:44 am
