Darden cross-examines Francesca Harman, a neighbor or acquaintance who left a friend's house at 10:15 PM and did not hear a dog barking. Darden establishes that her statement was taken by Randall Later, a colleague who doubles as a private investigator and provided her statement to the defense, implying a connection between the witness and the defense team's investigative apparatus.
