Defense attorney Robert Blasier conducted a brief three-question recross of criminalist Gregory Matheson focused on the Grunbaum article's reference to degraded BA blood being mistyped as type B. Matheson admitted he could not say exactly how many bands the degraded sample had, and had never contacted the article's authors for clarification. Judge Ito pointedly noted that Blasier's declared 'one question' had become three.
# 1 MR. BLASIER: One question.
FURTHER RECROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BLASIER
# 2 MR. BLASIER: Mr. Matheson, in the Grunbaum article that you testified to where there's reference to one example of a BA degrading and being mistyped as a b, do you have any idea how many bands that degraded BA had?
# 3 MR. GOLDBERG: Calls for speculation, asked and answered.
# 4 THE COURT: Overruled.
# 5 MR. MATHESON: Not exactly, no.
# 6 MR. BLASIER: You can't tell whether there were two bands at the end or one band, can you?
# 7 MR. MATHESON: Not unless the term "patterns" makes reference to that, but not specifically, no.
# 8 MR. BLASIER: Have you ever called Dr. Grunbaum or Mr. Zajac and ask them?
# 9 MR. GOLDBERG: Calls for speculation, your Honor.
# 10 THE COURT: That's three. That's three.
KEY QUOTE # 11 MR. BLASIER: No further questions.
