His name will be redacted from the public transcript. (At sidebar) THE WITNESS: (in open court) BY THE COURT: Q. With that, Juror 50, you are under oath. I will begin with some general instructions to you. If at any point you don't understand something that I'm asking, please ask for clarification. Don't speculate as to the meaning of my question, ask for clarification. In responding to questions, I instruct you not to tell me about the jury deliberations or thought process during deliberations. I'm not asking questions about those and you should not provide that information in response to my questions, let me know if there's something you don't understand, do not respond with information about the jury's deliberations, and tell the truth. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 5 M37MX1 signed the proposed immunity order which will be docketed with Juror 50's name redacted. In view of your assertion of the fifth Amendment, I have signed an order granting you immunity with respect to your testimony in this proceeding. That means that no testimony given by you or any information, directly or indirectly, derived from your testimony may be used against you in a federal criminal case, except if you testify falsely today you could be prosecuted for perjury. In light of this immunity, you will be required to answer questions today. So in other words, you need to answer my questions truthfully. If you don't answer truthfully, you could be prosecuted for perjury, not be prosecuted in federal court based on any truthful testimony that you here today, even if that testimony indicated you committed a crime. JUROR 50: Yes, Your Honor. I understand that. THE COURT: All right. I am going to have Juror 50 come forward to the witness stand, please. (Continued on next page) SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
