Instead I will present you with the exhibits from last week, the transcript of the testimony you heard from last week and the proposed superseding indictment. I will then walk you through the error that the superseding indictment seeks to correct. Please keep in mind though that what I say is not evidence. Only the testimony of the witnesses and the exhibits are evidence. So as I'm walking you through these exhibits, your understanding of them and your understanding of the evidence controls. I am just trying to provide you with an overview. With that instruction in mind, I am going to put up onto the Elmo what was previously received and marked as Grand Jury Exhibit 1. That is the proposed six-count indictment that you voted to return last week. A copy of it will be available for review when you deliberate. You also received what has been marked as Grand Jury Exhibit 2, which I will not put up on the Elmo. Thar was a PowerPoint presentation containing photographs anc excerpts of certain documents that was shown to you during the testimony last week.
