Judge Daniels is ruling on prosecutors' request to exclude a slew of defense exhibits. He is allowing some in, "to demonstrate that at the time the defendant made his statements, he was not part of a conspiracy," or try to demonstrate that.
Defense lawyer Gottlieb: Any statements made by people about Lindencare being in compliance, they are not being introduced for the truth of the matter asserted --
Judge Daniels: I don't agree. It's not probative of whether Mr. Doud was involved in a conspiracy

As US v. Doud trial day winds down, US says they could rest as early as tomorrow.
Defense lawyer Gottlieb says, While they're free to do whatever the heck they want, this is a change and we do not have a witness ready.
[In US v. Maxwell that meant, it's over]

AUSA reads venue stipulation. Now, the next witness:
Professor Cutler from Harvard University. A health economist. He says he is involved in a class action against Juul. "I match data up with death," he says, "so I can draw a picture."

AUSA: Are you being paid in this case?
Professor Cutler: Yes. I charge $900 an hour.
AUSA: How many hours so far?
Prof Cutler: Oh, I'm not sure. I'd say, 50 some hours.
[$45,000 so from, from taxpayers, to this Harvard professor also in Juul ca$e - story later]
