Sidebar: F.I. card

Date: Monday, March 6, 1995 • Utterances: 11
A brief sidebar in which Cochran requests to see an F.I. (Field Interview) card related to the current witness. Clark acknowledges the card exists and was disclosed but did not bring it to court. No ruling was made; the matter was deferred.
1 (THE FOLLOWING PROCEEDINGS WERE HELD AT THE BENCH:)
2 THE COURT:

OVER AT SIDE BAR.

3 MR. COCHRAN:

IF THERE IS AN F.I. CARD, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.

4 MS. CLARK:

COUNSEL HAS ALL THE F.I. CARDS. COUNSEL HAS WHAT THEY WROTE ON THIS WITNESS.

5 MR. COCHRAN:

MAY I FINISH, PLEASE, COUNSEL? I DON'T RECALL SEEING THIS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PAGES, SO I'M NOT SAYING WE DON'T HAVE IT AT THIS POINT. I'M JUST ASKING IF IT IS HERE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.

6 MS. CLARK:

I DIDN'T BRING IT WITH ME.

7 MR. COCHRAN:

WHETHER WE HAVE IT OR NOT, WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT LATER, BUT OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE THAT WE HAVE IT.

8 THE COURT:

YOU DON'T HAVE IT PRESENT?

9 MS. CLARK:

NO, YOUR HONOR.

10 THE COURT:

OKAY.

11 MR. COCHRAN:

CAN WE GET IT DOWN HERE?

Cochran hedges — acknowledging the volume of discovery materials while pressing for immediate access to the specific document.
Marcia Clark
I DIDN'T BRING IT WITH ME.
Clark confirms the F.I. card exists but is unavailable at court, effectively stalling Cochran's request.
