ALL RIGHT. BACK ON THE RECORD IN THE SIMPSON MATTER. ALL COUNSEL ARE AGAIN PRESENT. COUNSEL, IS THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE TESTING PROTOCOL?

YOUR HONOR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TIMING IS, BUT I THINK THAT IT'S COMPLICATED AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD WANT TO DO IT RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY --

WELL, IS TIME OF THE ESSENCE SINCE WE HAVE A WITNESS ON THE STAND OR IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO ONCE WE --

I THINK WE CAN TAKE THIS UP LATER.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO DISCUSS.

MAY MARSHA AND I HAVE A MOMENT WITH THESE TWO GENTLEMEN?

YOUR HONOR, WOULD YOU GIVE US ANOTHER MINUTE OR SO? WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE THE COURT TIME.

MISS CLARK, HAVE WE RESOLVED THIS?

I COULD. WITH THIS WITNESS, WE'RE GOING TO NEED A CERTAIN LIST OF ITEMS OF EVIDENCE. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE LIST THAT THE DEFENSE NOW WANTS TO TAKE FOR FURTHER TESTING. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE SOME LONG-RANGED PLANS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. SO --

I THINK WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, YOUR HONOR, IS THAT COUNSEL ARE GOING TO NEED TO TALK TO YOUR HONOR IN CHAMBERS AT SOME POINT AND TO CONTINUE THE EVIDENCE, AND WE CAN DO IT AT EITHER LUNCH TIME OR HAVE THE JURY COME BACK A LITTLE BIT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WE CAN SAVE SOMETIME BY SPEAKING WITH YOU AND WORK THIS ISSUE OUT. BUT YOU NEED TO CARVE OUT SOME TIME I THINK FOR IT.

IT WON'T BE RESOLVED IN 15 MINUTES I DON'T THINK.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHAT IT IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AT THIS POINT?

I'VE BEEN SPECIFIC AS I CAN BE. IT'S REALLY THE DEFENSE THAT HAS NOT PUT INTO WRITING YET WHAT ITEMS THEY ARE ABOUT TO REQUEST.

SHOULD WE APPROACH THE BENCH OR DO YOU WANT TO --

NO. WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL ME RIGHT NOW.

YEAH. I THINK THAT THE -- THERE'S ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO ITEMS THAT WE HAVE EXAMINED ALREADY THAT I ANTICIPATE THEY WOULD BE PUTTING INTO EVIDENCE SOON BECAUSE OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE, DIFFERENT PIECES OF TRACE EVIDENCE WERE SECURED FROM THOSE ITEMS AND SEGREGATED, SINCE WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TEST ANYTHING, BUT JUST EXAMINE IT FOR FURTHER COMPARISON AND POTENTIALLY TESTING. THEN THERE IS THE LOGISTICS OF WORKING OUT ARRANGEMENTS TO EXAMINE OTHER ITEMS THAT THE PROSECUTION IS ANTICIPATING PUT INTO EVIDENCE, AND, AS THE COURT KNOWS, THAT'S A LONGER DISCUSSION. MY SUGGESTION IS THAT WE PROBABLY CAN DEAL WITH THIS IN CHAMBERS AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT AGAIN IS GOING TO INVOLVE WHAT THE PROSECUTION INTENDS TO INTRODUCE AND WHEN THEY INTEND TO INTRODUCE IT SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT BEFORE THEY DO THAT, WHERE THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE, WHEN THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE AND WHAT THE TIMING OF IT IS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, MISS CLARK, THEN CAN YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR DIRECT EXAMINATION WITH DETECTIVE LANGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING WITHOUT ANY NEED TO ADDRESS ANY OF THESE ISSUES?

YES, I BELIEVE I CAN, YOUR HONOR. I DO WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY ADDRESS THE COURT CONCERNING THIS MOST RECENT REQUEST BY THE DEFENSE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY WANT TO LOOK AT ALL OF THIS EVIDENCE AND AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR AS THEY HAVE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN EXAMINED BY THEM, AND SO WE COME TO A POINT --

LET ME ASK YOU, MISS CLARK, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO PROCEED AND CONCLUDE THE COURT DAY THIS AFTERNOON WITHOUT ANY OF THE -- ANY DIFFICULTIES REGARDING THE PRESENTATION OF THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE?

THAT I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. IF I COULD ASSURE THE COURT OF THAT, I WOULDN'T TAKE TIME TO DO THIS NOW.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO THIS NOW. LET'S CONCLUDE THE MORNING SESSION. OVER THE LUNCH HOUR, I'LL HAVE COUNSEL TO CONFER. WHEN WE COME BACK AT 1:30, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, WE WILL TAKE IT UP AT THAT POINT.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. AND IF I COULD ASK MR. SCHECK AND MR. BLASIER, MR. CLARKE AND MR. HARMON, IF YOU COULD -- AND, MR. HODGMAN AND MR. YOCHELSON, PERHAPS IF YOU GENTLEMEN COULD CONFER WHILE COUNT IS IN SESSION WITH THE JURY ON OTHER MATTERS, PERHAPS WE CAN NARROW DOWN THE AREAS OF INQUIRY. I SEE NODS. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE THE JURY, PLEASE.
