Verdugo (2010) 50 Cal.4th 263, 281 (Verdugo) [prosecutor told defense about substance of statement at the time it was made, the trial court stopped direct examination of the witness and granted the defense a continuance to prepare for cross-examination]), or to seek exclusion of the evidence outside the presence of the jury.
