Correction to my earliest statements...
Today, Judge Walton, prosecution and defense discussed the jury instructions for Tuesday as both sides are preparing for closing arguments.
Here is what we know on the schedule for closing arguments: Fitzgerald and Peter Zeidenberg will be given the closing argument first. The defense is last. Here is the schedule from Judge Walton for Tuesday:
Prosecution team Peter Zeidenberg will give 2 or 3 hours of closed statements first. (I say 2 or 3 hours because one blogger says 2 hours and another says 3 and I can't say what time Zeidenberg will start.). The defense will give 3 hours of their closing arguments. I am unsure when defense team will be giving the closing arguments. And Fitzgerald will follow at the end for a 1 1/2 hour closing statements..
On a side note: It was mention in court today about Theory of Defense instruction. Here is a filing from the defense last month:
Theory of Defense instruction.
A defendant is entitled to a "theory of defense" instruction, but there has to be evidence presented during the trial to support it.

Unicef report, US worst places for children? Chimp should be proud this country has really slid downhill fast, now UNICEF comes out with this, embarrassing for this country. Shame on Chimp and Cheney.

What a shame. Thanks for the link. I put the article on a posting. And we are so behind in education and technology in this countries that the other countries such as NK, SK, China, Japan, and 3rd world countries are supressing us.
surpassing us.. correction
Nan,
I just found out later this evening. I will make the corrections. From FDL, Walton was discussing the schedule. but, they must have changed in after I left FDL. I found out that Fitz has a 1 1/2 hour final closing arguments.
Nan,
Another blogger saying that Z is giving 3 hour closing arguments. I assume after I left FDL live blogging that the scheduling of the closing arguments changed because they were still debating. But, it will a very long day in court.
Also, from FDL, Fitz was discussing with Walton of trying to cut short some of Z's closing argument. So, their final decision must have been after I left FDL. But, thanks for your eyes and ears.
