YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT TO MARCIA CLARK TESTIFYING. SHE IS THE LEAD TRIAL LAWYER IN THIS CASE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE IN THE RECORD TO SUPPORT THAT SHE WAS EVER PRESENT WHEN THE VIDEOGRAPHER WAS THERE.
NOTED. OVERRULED. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T NEED MISS CLARK'S TESTIMONY AS A WITNESS. I SIMPLY NEED HER STATEMENT TO THE COURT AS TO HER RECOLLECTION WHEN SHE WAS THERE, AND MORE PERTINENTLY, WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THIS TAPE EXISTED.
GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR. I THOUGHT I HAD A DAY OFF. YES. I CAN TELL THE COURT EXACTLY WHEN I ARRIVED AT ROCKINGHAM AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS STATEMENT TO MR. LEVIN AS WELL, BUT I ARRIVED AT APPROXIMATELY -- AT ABOUT 12:30 OR QUARTER TO 1:00. I HAD EARLIER SPOKEN TO DETECTIVE VANNATTER WHO INDICATED HE WAS GOING TO SEEK A WARRANT.
KEY QUOTEEXACTLY. EXACTLY, YOUR HONOR. AND DETECTIVE VANNATTER HAD BRIEFLY TOLD ME WHAT HE HAD IN TERMS OF PROBABLE CAUSE AND I SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT IT. HE SAID HE WOULD PRESENT IT TO THE JUDGE AND HE ASKED ME TO MEET HIM AT ROCKINGHAM. I SAID THERE IS NO POINT IN MY GOING OUT THERE UNTIL YOU HAVE THE WARRANT SIGNED AND DELIVERED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THAT IS DONE. HE CALLED AND HE TOLD ME THAT. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 10:45 I BELIEVE. I WAS WORKING ON ANOTHER CASE AND I DIDN'T LEAVE THE OFFICE UNTIL ABOUT 12:00, AND I ARRIVED I BELIEVE AT 12:30 OR QUARTER TO 1:00 AT ROCKINGHAM. I MET DETECTIVE LUPER THERE. THERE WERE VERY FEW PEOPLE THERE, IT WAS VERY QUIET, AND APPARENTLY THE DEFENDANT HAD ALREADY COME AND GONE BY THE TIME I GOT THERE. DETECTIVE LUPER WALKED ME AROUND A LITTLE BIT, I THINK ROBERTS DID, I THINK DETECTIVE FUHRMAN DID. ON THE 13TH I NEVER SAT OUTSIDE AT A TABLE WITH ANYBODY. I WAS THERE BRIEFLY. I MADE REQUESTS OF THEM CONCERNING WHAT TO PHOTOGRAPH AND IN WHAT SEQUENCE, AND THESE ARE STILL PHOTOGRAPHS, IN WHAT SEQUENCE TO PHOTOGRAPH SO THAT IT WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE AND CLEAR. AND I ASKED THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY PICKED UP CERTAIN ITEMS IN THE SEARCH AND HE INDICATED TO ME, DETECTIVE LUPER, THAT THERE WAS NO SEARCH TEAM AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, THEY WERE IN A HOLDING PATTERN FOR AWHILE. I HAD OTHER WORK TO DO SO I DIDN'T WAIT FOR THE SEARCH TEAM, AND I LEFT ROCKINGHAM AT ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO 2:00. I HAD TO GO BACK DOWN TO THE 10 FREEWAY GOING EAST, SO I TOOK BUNDY DOWN AND THE CRIME SCENE WAS ON MY WAY, AND AS IS MY HABIT, I ALWAYS VISIT CRIME SCENES TO GET A FEELING FOR THE SPACIAL CONNECTIONS OF EVERYTHING AND THE DIMENSIONS AND I STOPPED BY BUNDY ON MY WAY BACK TO THE OFFICE AT ABOUT TWO O'CLOCK. I MET WITH THE OFFICER WHO HAD THE PERIMETER AT THAT TIME. I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, BUT THE TAPE WAS STILL UP AND HE INDICATED NO ONE WAS ALLOWED INSIDE, AND I SAID FINE, AND I LEFT VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. AND I THINK THE CRIME SCENE LOG REFLECTS THAT I LEFT BUNDY. I WAS AT BUNDY FROM 2:00 TO 2:15, THAT'S CORRECT, AND I LEFT BUNDY AT LEAST AT 2:15, IF NOT 2:10, WENT BACK TO THE OFFICE. AT NO TIME DID I SEE A VIDEOGRAPHER PRESENT AT ROCKINGHAM. I CAN ASSURE THE COURT THAT IF I HAD, I WOULD BE DELIGHTED AND I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM TO DO ONE AT BUNDY AS WELL, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE DOING THAT. I DID NOT LEARN OF THAT VIDEOTAPE UNTIL A COUPLE DAYS AGO WHEN ALL OF THIS -- WHEN THE DEFENSE APPARENTLY INDICATED TO US THAT IT KNEW ABOUT A VIDEOTAPE, AND THEN I ASKED, AFTER HAVING HEARD FROM SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT IT, THAT WAS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, VERY RECENT, SO I NEVER KNEW THEY HAD ONE AND I ASKED ABOUT IT. I ASKED WHY -- FOR WHAT PURPOSE THEY PERFORMED IT AND WHY WE DIDN'T KNOW AND IF THEY DID ONE AT ROCKINGHAM, WHY DIDN'T THEY DO ONE AT BUNDY? AND THE REASON FOR THAT THEY EXPLAINED --
YOU ALREADY KNOW. SO I LEARNED IT WAS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES AND THAT IS ALL I KNOW, SO I WENT TO ROCKINGHAM FIRST AND THEN I WENT TO BUNDY. AND THE CRIME SCENE LOG SHOWS WHEN I WAS AT BUNDY AND INDICATES VERY CLEARLY THAT I WAS NOT AROUND WHEN THE VIDEOGRAPHER WAS THERE. AND I SAW THE MAN COME IN TO TESTIFY. WAS THAT ON FRIDAY? I HAD NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE IN MY LIFE, SO THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY I HAD EVER SEEN HIM.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE BEFORE ME -- I TAKE IT, MISS -- EXCUSE ME. MR. COCHRAN, HAVE YOU COMPLETED PRESENTING EVIDENCE?
I DON'T NEED MISS CLARK'S TESTIMONY AS A WITNESS. I SIMPLY NEED HER STATEMENT TO THE COURT AS TO HER RECOLLECTION WHEN SHE WAS THERE, AND MORE PERTINENTLY, WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THIS TAPE EXISTED.
THIS IS THE FAMOUS HARVEY LEVIN MIS-TIME-STAMPED?
I THOUGHT I HAD A DAY OFF.
AT NO TIME DID I SEE A VIDEOGRAPHER PRESENT AT ROCKINGHAM. I CAN ASSURE THE COURT THAT IF I HAD, I WOULD BE DELIGHTED AND I WOULD HAVE ASKED THEM TO DO ONE AT BUNDY AS WELL, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE DOING THAT.
I ACCEPT THE REPRESENTATION OF ANY COUNSEL HERE AS OFFICERS OF THE COURT.
