Plaintiff's counsel Medvene conducted redirect of Officer Terrazas, establishing that he observed blood on the back gate at approximately 12:30–12:35 a.m. Terrazas allowed that Detectives Fuhrman and Phillips could have arrived at the front, but he did not recall seeing them in the back and, to the best of his recollection, they had not yet arrived. Medvene also had Terrazas mark the specific blood spots on a photograph (Exhibit 2098), which was admitted into evidence, and elicited that his written report was only a brief overview, not a comprehensive account.
