Marcia Clark briefly recrossed Zulema Iida, a travel agent, to confirm the status of Rosa Lopez's reservations as of that morning: a round-trip ticket to El Salvador with a return to Los Angeles in March. Clark also probed whether Iida had been watching or listening to the proceedings, apparently testing whether the witness had been coached or was following the trial — Iida denied any exposure.
