◀ Cross-examination of Renee Montgomery (part 1) Cross-examination of Renee Montgomery (part 2) ▶

Date: Tuesday, May 23, 1995 • Utterances: 7

Brief administrative exchange before resuming testimony with witness Montgomery. Defense attorney Scheck flagged upcoming evidentiary objections related to the next witness, Yamauchi, specifically regarding typing results and newly shown boards, and requested time to address these issues with the court.

# 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 case. All parties are again present. All right. Miss Montgomery is with us. Mr. Blasier, we are ready to proceed?

# 3 MR. BLASIER:

Yes, your Honor.

# 4 MR. SCHECK:

Just one note. The next witness, who I hope will be coming up soon, Mr. Yamauchi, they just showed us some boards, and I also have some objections to putting in typing results where there's no C dot or inconclusive, and I wanted to make a time with the Court maybe at the end of the day or whenever we could take up these matters.

# 5 THE COURT:

I have the feeling we're going to finish with Miss Montgomery today.

KEY QUOTE

# 6 MR. SCHECK:

Yes, we should. That's why I was hoping we could take up those other matters and perhaps we can finish up all these witnesses this week.

# 7 THE COURT:

Good. Let's have the jurors, please.
