I was in a courtroom where Schwille was the judge. I began talking to a young fellow whom I soon realized was the assistant district attorney on a case in which I was representing a defendant. It turned out that we were scheduled to go to trial later today and I talked with the fellow a little about the case. He said he would be ready, but first he had to finish the trial that he was presently involved with. Quite a few people were in the courtroom, apparently for the trial taking place.

I walked over to a cassette tape player and took out a cassette which was in it. But then I realized the cassette I had taken out was being used to record the present trial. Schwille was just about to resume the trial and he looked at me. I quickly put the tape back in and indicated to him that it was now ready to go again.

I began thinking about whether I was prepared to try my case today. It was going to be a jury trial and I was a bit nervous because I had never had a jury trial before. But now seemed as good a time as any to start, so I figured I would just have to go through with it.
