that was asked and mr sheck knows it's improper because there is no lawyer with half a brain
with an iq above five who would not have known that such a question is improper
and to deliberately ask such improper questions such inflammatory questions
deliberately designed to thwart justice should not be treated lightly what what's the relevance
Well, as I understood the court's ruling with respect to opening the door.
Don't discuss the case amongst yourselves.
Don't form any opinions about the case.
Don't conduct any deliberations until the matter has been submitted to you.
Do not allow anybody, anybody to communicate with you with regard to the case.
Put your money on one thing or another.
So, I'm sorry, are you finished?
No, I'm not.
We'll finish this case hopefully in August.
There's so many lawyers on our O.J. Simpson team.
I don't know probably half of them, so I may not know what somebody else is doing,
and they probably won't know what I'm doing.
That's a big problem, isn't it?
That is a big problem, but I'm down here for a limited role,
and I hope to keep the role very limited, and I will be in and out of here,
and the court maybe won't even notice me.
Is your memory of those events handling Mr. Simpson's blood vial improving since August?
Yeah, you're bringing me back to that time and place where I was doing that.
And yes, it helped my recollection.
Mr. Yamauchi, are you part of some conspiracy to unjustly convict Mr. Simpson in this case?
No.
Are these photographs helpful to a jury in assessing what was the state of mind of O.J. Simpson when he killed these two human beings?
There are not now, nor have there been, nor will there be any plea bargaining discussions in this case.
This is a case where there is no plea bargain, will be no plea bargain, and I thought I should make the record clear in that regard.
Did you get blood on your gloves when you opened Mr. Simpson's reference tube?
Yes, soaked through the paper.
paper.
A sequestered blend of rich dark chocolate on the outside, get it,
long-lasting caramel, not as long as the trial,
and assorted mixed nuts on the inside.
Well, what we may have to do is draw a pencil outline
of that sock and the way it is, and I'll have to have the bailiff sit here all
night and guard the sock till we get a microscope.
You will, in Michael Knox's book, see a very frank account of the relationship between,
the tensions among, and the divisiveness of the jurors.
You will get a very insider view of what happened.
Statistically speaking, the room is growing slimmer and slimmer,
and I'm sure that that's a consideration that he is making in making these determinations
and reviewing the information that both sides present to him.
That it is sealed in accordance with the instructions on the envelope.
Isn't that what you normally see?
Objection. That's two questions, Your Honor. It's compound.
Sustained.
Isn't it? I have to ask it again.
Would you mind not pointing at me like that?
I was pointing. I'm sorry, Mr. Iannucci. I was actually pointing at the screen.
I wasn't pointing at you.
Okay. Thank you.
My apologies.
How's this going to work?
So he'll position the microscope.
All right. The jury will come down. They'll take a look.
We'll then put a guard here.
How am I going to know I'm being facetious, counsel?
See, it's been so long, I even forgot.
Good morning again, Mr. Simpson.
Do you know anything about wind blowing berries up on the rear gate?
No.
Do you think the wind could blow a berry up on 117?
You've seen that picture.
It would have to be a very strong wind, I would think.
But are you certain that he didn't change his gloves?
Well, I mean, if he could do some magic trick
and do it while I was turning my head away or something,
then I'm sure that's quite possible.
Then, Mr. Sheck, you may continue with your nice tie, cross-examination.
Thank you.
These stains are still here in spite of Dr. Lee rolling them inside out.
That was pretty rough treatment.
Well, Mr. Harmon, that's not the issue.
The issue is, can we preserve this so that their experts can take a look at it?
If it's possible, I'd like to do that.
If at any time during the presentation of this evidence you feel unusually uncomfortable
or if you need to take a break, feel free to let me know.
My name is Dr. Lakshmanan Satyavagiswaran.
The first name goes as follows, L-A-K-S-H-M-A-N-A-N, and the last name is S-A-T-S-N-Thomas-H-Y-A-V-A-G-I-S-W-A-R-A-N.
Thank you.
Doctor, are you kind enough to allow those of us from both prosecution and defense and the court and even private lawyers
to refer to you by your first name in your professional dealings with us?
Yes.
And so if we call you Dr. Lakshmanan, you will not be offended, will you?
No, I will not.
And a lot of us will be a lot happier for allowing us to do that.
Thank you.
