Darden conducted a brief redirect examination of Bernie Douroux, asking three questions about whether he noticed unusual stains in the Bronco — on the steering wheel, console, and driver's door panel. Douroux answered no to all three, which works in the prosecution's favor by limiting any defense inference that obvious blood evidence would have been visible to someone handling the vehicle.
# 1 THE COURT: Mr. Darden, any redirect?
