In a novel move in the latest Vioxx trial, lawyers for Merck and the plaintiffs agreed to preset time limits before the trial began in a bid to keep it moving.
Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee's law clerk used chess clocks to keep tabs, pressing a button each time one side's lawyer started or finished questioning a witness.
Both sides rested without using all their allotted time.
Expect the verdict early next week.
