CASE FOR SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETING IN COURT:

Bailiff: All rise. [Wait for everyone-except the judge- to stand.] Department One of the Superior
Court is now in session.

Judge Norman presiding. Please be seated.

Judge: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Calling the case of the People of the State of
California versus Ivan Korolenko. Are both sides ready?

District Attorney: Ready for the People, Your Honor.

Public Defender: Ready for the defense, Your Honor

Judge: Will the clerk please swear in the jury?

Clerk: Will the jury please stand and raise your right hand? [Wait for everyone to stand.] Do each
of you swear that you will fairly try the case before this court, and that you will return a true
verdict according to the evidence and the instructions of the court, so help you, God? Please say “I
do”. [Wait for jurors to say “I do.”] You may be seated.

Deputy DA: [Stand up and talk to the jury.] Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury: the
defendant has been charged with the crime of driving or taking a car belonging to someone else,
without the permission of the owner. The evidence will show that a 2004 Corvette was stolen on
the night of February 8th. The next day the defendant was arrested driving the stolen car. The
defendant’s fingerprints were on the keys used to steal the car. The evidence I present will prove
to you that the defendant is guilty as charged.

Public Defender: [Stand up and talk to the jury.] Your Honor and ladies and gentlemen of the jury:
under the law my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. During this trial, you will hear no
real evidence against my client. You will come to know the truth: that (defendant’s first name) was
just riding in a car stolen by someone else. After finding out that the car was stolen, (defendant’s
first name) was just trying to do the right thing by returning the car to its owner. Therefore my
client is not guilty.

Judge: The prosecution may call its first witness.

Deputy DA: The People call the owner of the car.

[Bailiff takes the witness to the witness stand.]

Clerk: Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the
case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?

Car Owner: I do.

Clerk: Please state your first and last name.

Car Owner: [Give your first and last name.]


Clerk: You may be seated.

Reporter: Please spell your last name for the record.

Deputy DA: [Stand up.] (first name of car owner), where do you work?

Car Owner: I own Martinez Car Sales.

Deputy DA: What is the address of your business?

Car Owner: 102 Main Street, Martinez.

Deputy DA: Were you working there on February 8th?

Car Owner: Yes, I was.

Deputy DA: Was one of the cars you had for sale a 2004 red Corvette license number 5CBX239?

Car Owner: Yes.

Deputy DA: Did you see the car on the lot on February 8th?

Car Owner: Yes. The car was there when we closed that night.

Deputy DA: Did you see the car again on February 9th?

Car Owner: No. It was missing when I got to work that morning.

Deputy DA: Where were the keys to the Corvette when you left on February 8th?

Car Owner: They were locked in the sales office.

Deputy DA: Where were the keys when you came back the next morning?

Car Owner: They were still locked in the sales office.

Deputy DA: Did you file a stolen car report with the police?

Car Owner: Yes, I did.

Deputy DA: Had you given anyone, including the defendant, permission to take or drive the
Corvette?

Car Owner: No, I did not.

Deputy DA: Thank you, I have no further questions.

Judge: Does the defense have any questions?

Public Defender: Not at this time, Your Honor.

Judge: The witness is excused. [Wait for the witness to leave the stand.] The prosecution may call
the next witness.
