OK..this is making me crazy...I'm starting to think the questions and replies before they're asked and answered. It's like watching a movie for the umpteenth time, and you reach the point where you know exactly what line is coming next. Aaarrrggghhh!

I bet that Nurmi is going to suggest a time to the judge when it would be a good time to break. The thing is, this judge is very predictable...she stops for breaks at a predictable time, so Nurmi can target that time. He's going to suggest a time shortly before, at a point where it leaves the jury at just the appropriate time for the jurors to mull it all over. That's my analysis.
"What is thrusting?" Really Nurmi?

Oh gosh...I'd say right around "way past necessary".
