Marcia Clark's brief recross addressed Simpson's footwear. Ito sustained an objection that the subject exceeded the prior examination, then permitted Clark to take Partridge as her witness for one question. Partridge described black woven leather loafers. Ito and Cochran counted the ensuing questions, and Ito ended the beyond-scope inquiry and excused Partridge.
# 1 MS. CLARK: I just wanted to ask one question, please.

# 2 MS. CLARK: And when you sat in that seat, sir, did you happen to observe--you said you observed what the Defendant was wearing. Did you also observe what he had on his feet?
