A brief housekeeping session where prosecutor George Clarke raises two items: a grant proposal being faxed to the courtroom, and the court's earlier ruling overruling his foundation objections to LAPD scripts. Clarke confirms his understanding that the defense must call witnesses to establish foundation; Scheck suggests a stipulation may be possible since the documents originated from the prosecution's own witness Matheson.
# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court:) # 2 MR. CLARKE: Two quick items if I might, your Honor. First is with regard to the grant proposal. Mr. Scheck informs me that's being faxed to the courtroom. And the second item relates to the Court overruling my objections about foundation on the Los Angeles Police Department scripts. It's my understanding from the Court's ruling that the Defense will then be calling witnesses or witness or witnesses to provide that foundation.
# 3 THE COURT: That's correct. I assume somebody can come in and tell us what these things are.
# 4 MR. SCHECK: I--I mean, I--they were provided by Mr. Matheson and I guess he can come in and tell us--
# 5 THE COURT: He can come in and tell us what is this stack of documents.
# 6 MR. SCHECK: I--maybe we can work out a stipulation. After all, they gave it to us.
