Week 5 - Documents of the week

See note on accessing documents at the end of this post.

About 50 new exhibits were produced during the 5th week of the trial (witnesses were heard on April 17, 18 and 19th), of which only a few were "on reserve" (i.e. not available to the public).

The Plaintiff's document web-site has an excellent a word-search function on its search page, and is a good source for any specific document needs.

The list below groups some of the more substantive exhibits introduced this week by topic, and presents them in chronological order.
