Novak sitting there looking shiftily from right to left, kind of sitting back in the seat. He's got a three piece suit (like the one in the picture, but a yellow tie or some such thing. And he's wearing glasses. Maybe he noticed earlier that losing one's glasses is a good way to stall for time?!?!
Fitzgerald and Wells chatting about something–bench conference on something relating to Novak.
Libby is very animated right now, laughing with Jeffress. Whatever he said, they're both cracking up.
Novak has one cup of water to the side and one in front of him. He looks more comfortable than Judy, but not all that much more. But maybe that's because he looks shifty by his very nature? That took abotu 5 minutes or so. Jury now coming in.
I think Walton is getting tired–he's not as chatty as he was with the jury week before last.
