1. “"As I say, I will have to rule on matters one at a time in this regard as they come up, and that will largely be governed by the manner in which they do come up. So I do overrule the motion at this time for a ruling on the pretrial motion, because I wouldn't know how to rule on it."”

2. “THE COURT: Okay. Let me say this: I said that I wouldn't know how to rule on it. I meant by that that I wouldn't know how to approach it pretrial, because it may, or may not, ever arise, and I don't know how it would arise. That is what I was trying to say.”
