Darden conducts a brief recross of Kestler to clarify that a 'blood search' notation in the 'Comments' column of a lab log meant an intended future analysis, not a completed one. He then attempts to revisit why the lab would search for blood on the socks if no blood was visible, but Judge Ito cuts him off, saying the question had already been asked and answered — he remembers the answer himself.
# 1 MR. DARDEN: Can we leave that up there just one moment, your Honor?
RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. DARDEN
# 2 MR. DARDEN: Just so it's clear, does that mean that the blood search had been done or does it mean that you intended to do a blood search at some future day?
# 3 MS. KESTLER: No. It means we intended to do--have a blood search done as it does on some of the other comments where we said PCR. Means we're going to do PCR. That's what we intended to do.
KEY QUOTE # 4 THE COURT: Anything else?
# 5 MR. DARDEN: And this notation is under the "Comments" column; is that correct?
# 7 MR. DARDEN: There's another column that--that is entitled "Analysis performed"?
# 8 MS. KESTLER: That's correct.
# 9 MR. DARDEN: Okay. And the "Analysis performed" column is for things that have already been analyzed?
# 10 MS. KESTLER: That's correct.
# 11 MR. DARDEN: Given the fact that there was no blood obvious, why then did you want to do a subsequent search of the socks for blood?
# 12 MR. NEUFELD: Objection. Beyond the scope.
# 13 THE COURT: I think we've already asked that question, counsel.
KEY QUOTE # 14 MR. DARDEN: Well, I haven't asked it.
# 15 THE COURT: I think you're the one who asked the question.
# 16 MR. DARDEN: It was a good question, your Honor.
KEY QUOTE # 17 THE COURT: I remember the answer.
KEY QUOTE # 18 MR. DARDEN: You remember the answer?
# 19 THE COURT: Yes, I do.
# 20 MR. DARDEN: Well, I'm sure the jury does. Thank you, your Honor. Thank you, Mrs. Kestler.
