Judge William Sullivan said he wanted to take the issue to sidebar, even though the jury wasn’t back in the room yet.
“I don’t want to go to sidebar. I really don’t want to go to sidebar,” said Reddington — whose client, a 35-year-old former labor and delivery mom — fatally strangled her three young children with exercise bands.
“They got picked up on a hot mic saying ‘Shut her up,’ during the playing of the autopsy,” Reddington said of Thursday’s alleged incident.
It wasn’t clear who the “her’’ was that the lawyer was referring to.
