Called by: Prosecution • Date: Wednesday, May 10, 1995 • Utterances: 6

Very good. Initially, your Honor, I would ask permission to show exhibit 99. That's a photograph of the bottom of the boot.

All right. Let's clear the telestrator.

3 MR. CLARKE:

All right. If we could then move to exhibit 257-A.

Your Honor, I'm sorry. Can we have a very brief sidebar on this particular issue before we go forward?

All right. With the Court reporter.
