A juror sent a note confused by the term 'transfer evidence' used during testimony. The judge flagged it at sidebar, Baker suggested the correct term is 'trace evidence,' and Petrocelli clarified the witness had actually used the word 'transfer.'
# 1 (The following proceedings were held at the bench, with the reporter.) # 2 MR. PETROCELLI: More notes?
# 3 THE COURT: No, this one is not bad. This one, the juror is concerned with terminology you're using. Counsel, somebody, has been using the term "transfer evidence," and they're confused.
# 4 MR. MEDVENE: Maybe transferred?
# 5 MR. PETROCELLI: "Transfer evidence" is the word they're confused about.
# 6 MR. BAKER: I don't know.
# 7 THE COURT: You might clear it up.
# 8 MR. BAKER: "Trace evidence."
# 9 MR. PETROCELLI: The witness said "transfer."
