A brief sidebar in which defense attorney Blasier requests the jury be reinstructed to clarify that evidence was sent to Albany for the purpose of defense inspection, not for any other implied reason. Goldberg was unsure how much he was allowed to elicit on that point, and Ito directed him to ask a leading question about the inspection purpose.
# 1 THE COURT: We're over at the sidebar. Mr. Blasier.
# 2 MR. BLASIER: Since he didn't ask the question, I would ask to reinstruct the jury that this was provided to the Defense for purposes of inspection. I assumed he was going to ask that rather than leaving the implication it went to Albany without explaining why it was back there.
# 3 MR. GOLDBERG: I thought the only thing I was allowed to ask is that it went, but not anything else.
# 4 THE COURT: You can ask, was it for the purpose of allowing the Defense to inspect the items.
# 5 MR. GOLDBERG: I don't know if he knows for sure what they did.
# 6 THE COURT: The purpose of releasing it. Ask a leading question, the purpose was to inspect.
