Yes. I just want to make one point so it's very clear. I expect to--Mr. Harmon yesterday, at the time we were about to begin the cross-examination and I told him about the boards and I also said to him that there were certain pages from the discovery material that I wanted to review with Mr. Yamauchi and make sure that it was correct, he told me that he didn't want that happening, he had to go review with Mr. Yamauchi his testimony over lunch and he declined that invitation. And I noticed that when they turned over these validation studies, they gave us the code on what the samples were.
Mr. Scheck, this witness is just very cautious. He's not going to commit to anything unless he can confirm it in his own notes. That's the only problem.
KEY QUOTEI have no quarrel with the witness confirming that. My only point is simply this. This is what's been turned over to me in discovery. All I can go on is what they give me. They give me validation studies. They give me a code. We look at the analysis sheets. We compare it to the samples. There are discrepancies. I have to go through it.
I understand that. But you weren't going to get the right foundational answer out of that witness until he looked in his own notebook. That's the bottom line.
No. I understand that. That's the problem. And I instructed him to over the weekend get those records confirmed. We'll come back and see if there are two discrepancies. Not a problem. Have a nice weekend.
