Good afternoon, your Honor. In order to avoid a break between Miss Clark's cross-examination and my redirect, I would like to make this motion now. Even though we called Agent Martz as our witness, I think it is apparent that he is not--that he is a hostile witness to the Defense. I think that is not only apparent by who he was doing these tests for, but his change in demeanor after yesterday morning's session, as well as his demeanor during Miss Clark's cross-examination. So I would ask leave of the Court under 776 to cross-examine him in place of my redirect examination when she is done.

In other words, you are asking for the ability to ask leading questions?

Yes.

All right. Miss Clark, any comment?

He was asking leading questions.

You didn't object.

That's right. I didn't. I don't see that there is any big change. I don't think that Agent Martz is going to be a hostile witness. He has been very forthright. If counsel is unhappy with his answers, that doesn't make him hostile. Seriously. You know, I mean substantively you may not like the answer, that doesn't make the witness hostile. So I don't know what Mr. Blasier proposes to change, but I would urge the Court not to make that finding because I don't think it would be warranted by the evidence or by the witness' testimony thus far.

All right. Thank you, counsel. Anything else, Mr. Blasier?

No. I'll submit it.

I'm sorry?

Thank you.

You are welcome. Let's have the jury, please.
