Darden conducts a brief recross of LAPD videographer Willie Ford, establishing that Ford failed to capture the Rockingham glove, the socks, or the blood on the driveway on video. The examination is largely overtaken by a comedic back-and-forth about whether an ornate lamp near the glove was a Tiffany lamp made of crystal, culminating in Judge Ito gently mocking Darden's lamp expertise and shutting the line of questioning down.
# 1 THE COURT: Mr. Darden.
# 2 MR. DARDEN: Just a couple minutes.
RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. DARDEN

# 15 MR. DARDEN: You didn't videotape the blood on the driveway?
# 16 MR. FORD: No, I didn't.
# 17 MR. DARDEN: Okay. And when you were videotaping the area near the glove, there is a lamp next to that glove, correct?

# 32 MR. COCHRAN: Your Honor, I object.
# 33 THE COURT: Sustained.
# 34 MR. DARDEN: Did you notice any expensive pieces of crystal on that lamp, right? Did you?

KEY QUOTE # 41 MR. DARDEN: All right.
# 42 MR. DARDEN: And the glove, the glove you saw there, was that an Aris Isotoner glove?

# 44 MR. DARDEN: Would you notice that the glove was a large and not an extra large?

KEY QUOTE # 46 MR. DARDEN: All right. Did you see the mate to that glove?
# 48 MR. DARDEN: You don't know how that glove got there, do you?
# 50 MR. DARDEN: You don't know who owned that glove, do you?
# 52 MR. DARDEN: Did you think it was unusual that there would be a glove there, only one glove, rather, there?
# 54 MR. DARDEN: And just so it is clear, there are crystal objects directly next to the glove in the video also, right? Do you recall that?
# 55 MR. FORD: I don't know--yeah, there are some objects there, looks like crystal.
# 56 THE COURT: Counsel, I think the jury saw the videotape for a significant period of time and they know what was on that end table at the end of the couch.
# 57 MR. DARDEN: I will stop if he will stop.
