O’BRIEN
Objection! I believe the testimony was that Mr. Cruz was told that was the case.

JUDGE
Do you want the testimony read back?

PETROCELLI

The judge is trying to understand O'Brien's objection. By offering to have the testimony read back, the judge is giving O'Brien the opportunity to clarify his objection and ensure that everyone in the courtroom has a clear understanding of his argument. This allows the judge to make an informed decision regarding the objection and potentially make a ruling based on that clarification. The judge's primary concern is to ensure that the legal proceedings are fair and that all parties have a chance to present their cases properly.
