◀ Cross-examination of Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran (part 1) Cross-examination of Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran (part 2) ▶

Date: Thursday, June 15, 1995 • Utterances: 22

A brief administrative proceeding held outside the jury's presence to resolve an exhibit numbering issue. Ronald Goldman's driver's license was already in evidence as People's 85, but an Elmo (overhead projector) image of it had not been formally marked. Judge Ito designated the projected image as People's 85-A to keep all Goldman driver's license materials grouped together.

# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court, out of the presence of the jury:)

# 2 THE COURT:

Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All the parties are again present. The jury is not present. Counsel, anything we need to take up before we invite the jurors to join us?

# 3 MR. KELBERG:

No, your Honor.

# 4 THE COURT:

All right.

# 5 MR. SHAPIRO:

May I ask Miss Robertson the exhibit number of the last photographs?

# 6 MR. SHAPIRO:

1194.

# 7 MR. SHAPIRO:

1194?

# 8 MR. KELBERG:

Actually, did you ever mark for the record, Mr. Shapiro, the driver's license?

# 9 MR. SHAPIRO:

No. So that should be 1193. It's already--the original is already in evidence.

# 10 THE COURT:

I had Mrs. Robertson bring that up because I thought the original Ronald Goldman driver's license was in evidence, but what we have is an elmo picture of it and it is not readable from the elmo.

KEY QUOTE

# 11 MR. KELBERG:

So what designation does that have?

# 12 THE COURT:

That is People's 85?

# 13 MR. SHAPIRO:

People's 85.

# 14 THE COURT:

That's People's 85.

# 15 MR. KELBERG:

Do you want to just--I don't know if Mr. Shapiro has some need to have it as a Defense exhibit designation or do you just want to make it 85-A?

# 16 THE COURT:

Let's make that--Mr. Shapiro?

# 17 MR. SHAPIRO:

Yes.

# 18 THE COURT:

I would prefer to have that as 85-A so we have all the Ronald Goldman driver's license--

KEY QUOTE

# 19 MR. SHAPIRO:

That's fine.

# 20 THE COURT:

--in the same chandra so to speak. Okay.

# 21 (Peo's 85-A for id = driver's license)

# 22 THE COURT:

Let's have the jurors.

Lance A. Ito

I had Mrs. Robertson bring that up because I thought the original Ronald Goldman driver's license was in evidence, but what we have is an elmo picture of it and it is not readable from the elmo.

Explains the administrative problem — the Elmo projection of the license was illegible, prompting the need to formally mark it as a separate exhibit.

Lance A. Ito

I would prefer to have that as 85-A so we have all the Ronald Goldman driver's license--in the same chandra so to speak.

Ito's reasoning for the sub-designation, keeping related exhibits grouped; notable for his casual 'so to speak' aside.

Light Moments (1)

Lance A. Ito

Ito used the phrase 'same chandra so to speak' — an apparent malapropism or colloquialism for 'chapter' or possibly 'folder' — in an otherwise dry exhibit-numbering discussion.
