MR. COCHRAN.

YES, YOUR HONOR, JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS.

RECROSS-EXAMINATION

BY MR. COCHRAN:

MR. KARPF, SIR, WHEN YOU SPOKE WITH INTERVIEWING OFFICERS HARO AND HARPER AND YOU TOLD THEM THAT YOU HAD ARRIVED HOME BETWEEN 10:50 AND ELEVEN O'CLOCK, YOU WERE BEING AS ACCURATE AS YOU COULD AT THAT TIME; ISN'T THAT CORRECT?

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND HERE WE ARE NOW IN FEBRUARY OF 1994 AND YOUR MEMORY FOR EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE ON JUNE 12, 1994, WAS BETTER ON JULY 7, 1994, THAN IT IS NOW; ISN'T THAT CORRECT?

I WOULD SAY YES.

YOU AGREE WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT. NOW, WITH REGARD TO THIS CONVERSATION, SIR, THAT YOU HAD WITH YOUR FIANCE, WHAT SHE TOLD YOU, ISN'T IT, THAT SHE TOLD YOU THAT YOU RETURNED TO THE RESIDENCE, SHE BELIEVED, APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 45 MINUTES AFTER SHE WAS AWAKENED BY THE BARKING DOGS; ISN'T THAT CORRECT?

THAT WOULD BE ABOUT CORRECT, YES.

AND SHE ALSO TOLD YOU, DID SHE NOT, THAT SHE -- SHE TOLD YOU THAT SHE HAD HEARD MORE THAN ONE DOG BARKING, DIDN'T SHE, A FEW DOGS? DO YOU RECALL THAT?

I DON'T RECALL THAT, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.

ALL RIGHT. AND SHE TOLD YOU THAT SHE HAD FALLEN ASLEEP ABOUT TEN O'CLOCK THAT PARTICULAR EVENING, RIGHT?

THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THAT SOME TIME BETWEEN 10:15 P.M. AND 10:45 P.M. SHE WAS AWAKENED BY THIS INTENSE BARKING BY A FEW DOGS AS THE -- THE WINDOW WAS OPENED IN THE BACK PART OF YOUR HOUSE? IS THAT RIGHT?

THAT'S CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT. AND SO WHEN YOU TALKED TO THESE OFFICERS ON JULY 7 --

OBJECTION. OBJECTION. THAT MISSTATES NOT ONLY THE TESTIMONY, BUT THE POLICE REPORT.

OVERRULED.

WITH REGARD TO -- WHEN YOU TALKED TO THE POLICE ON JULY 7, YOU WERE TRYING TO BE AS ACCURATE AS YOU COULD?

YES.

IN TELLING THEM THE TIME; IS THAT RIGHT?

THAT'S CORRECT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. KARPF.
