A brief cross-examination segment in which defense attorney Carl Douglas questions Ron Shipp about his last visit to the Rockingham property before June 13, 1994. Douglas raises the presence of an unidentified blonde woman during that visit, prompting an immediate objection from prosecutor Christopher Darden and a sidebar conference. This cross-examination segment ends as the sidebar begins. Ito subsequently allows limited questions about the visits, and Shipp corrects the blonde woman's visit to three weeks before the murders, identifying her as a friend of his wife.
