Your Honor, just for the record, yesterday I was provided DNA discovery pages 9679 through 9688, which are entitled "Personal notes of Brad Popovich regarding People of California versus Orenthal James Simpson," which are really nothing more than recitations of his visits to three different laboratories. There is no report.
Well, I don't know why--if she's seen a report as she just said and Mr. Hodgman said, where is it? I'm not ill-informed.
Your Honor, you know, I guess reasonable minds can differ about what is a report. This, you know, looked like a report to me. Details what he saw and what he did at the laboratories and we've turned it over. We have given them everything we have. You know, what else can we do, your Honor? We give discovery when we get it. If we have notes, we have reports, we turn them over. We have nothing more than what we've given them. I don't know what else we can be required to do.
I don't know how anybody can look at a document that says "Personal notes" and turn around and say--
Well, counsel, if that's all they have and that's what Dr. Popovich calls a report, that's a report.
KEY QUOTENo. No. No. These are called--this is what Dr. Popovich in his own writing calls personal notes. It is not a report. If there is a report or there's going to be a report or there should be a report and she's indicating she saw a report--
Fine. Let's talk all day about what's a note, what's a report. We've turned over what we have. That's the bottom line.
