Courtroom quiet as judge conferences with attorneys, orders Heuermann to come out
The courtroom stood mostly quiet as the audience waited for Judge Timothy Mazzei — who had been conferencing with attorneys — to take the bench.
The attorneys have now returned to the courtroom, with Mazzei taking to the bench and calling for Heuermann to be brought into the courtroom.
"Let's get him out," Mazzei said.
While it is customary for defendants to stand along the railing for proceedings, Heuermann will be seated with his attorneys, Michael J. Brown and Danielle Coysh, at the defense table behind prosecutors.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney and assistant district attorneys Nicholas Santomartino and Andrew Lee are seated at the prosecution table.
