Witness: Douglas Deedrick
Examiner: Dan Leonard
Called by: Defense • Date: Wednesday, November 13, 1996 • Utterances: 16

Defense attorney Dan Leonard attempted to begin recross-examination using Exhibit 1159, but was immediately shut down by Judge Fujisaki on the grounds that the questioning fell outside the scope of redirect. After two denied requests to approach the bench, Leonard abandoned the examination and the witness was excused.
