All right. Back on the record in the Simpson matter. The Defendant is again present with his counsel, Mr. Shapiro, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Blasier, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Spaulding, People represented by Mr. Hodgman, Mr. Darden and Miss Clark. Counsel, anything we need to take up before we resume with our next witness?
We need to take up several matters, and I'll try to lay them out for the court at this point. Based upon the court's ruling, which the court took two days to render or a little short of two days, we're not ready to proceed either with Laura McKinny or with Mark Fuhrman today. I've asked Mr. Fuhrman's lawyer, Mr. Mounger, to come today, and I plan to talk to him when we take a break this morning further. We have several other issues that we need to resolve. We have a discovery matter which has come up which we think is very urgent and it bears upon Mark Fuhrman and whether or not we've received discovery timely and it bears critically on this whole idea of planting evidence, and I would ask the court to hear from Barry Scheck on that. That's one. We have secondarily a--we filed a motion to suppress evidence based on newly discovered evidence, which I'm going to ask the court to listen to Professor Gerry Uelmen on.
Well, it's a motion to the court to review the suppression motion based upon newly discovered evidence, to wit, Fuhrman, the Fuhrman tapes, ask the court to hear that matter because it ties to Fuhrman. The third thing that we have is a Brady motion which I indicated to the court we're filing, the Brady motion with declaration attached thereto. We're going to ask the court to hear that. And finally, we have--we'll be making an offer of proof regarding two witnesses that we would call today, Roderic Hodge and Natalie Singer, relating to this same general area. You've heard something about them before. Mr. Bailey will make an offer of proof in that regard. Those things we want to do and pretty much in that order if the court will allow us starting with--because they tie in together--hearing from Barry Scheck first. Then the court perhaps will hear from Professor Uelmen--Uelmen and the court can hear from me on the Brady motion and then lastly from Mr. Bailey on the offer of proof. And then we perhaps need a break to talk with Mr. Mounger with regard to Detective Fuhrman. He's on call also.
We were just handed their moving papers on these issues less than three minutes ago. So we have not had an opportunity to review the documents. In addition, with regard to Hodge and Singer, as the court may recall, the court earlier ruled, after an argument by Cheri Lewis, that the court would wait to rule on Hodge and Singer until after the court heard testimony from Kathleen Bell and Andrea Terry. So we're not ready to proceed on Hodge or Singer. I'm not even ready to argue the 352 issue for the second time, for a second time.
KEY QUOTEWe just received a letter a few moments ago on the discovery matter and we have one copy and we're trying to read it, read over it right now.
All right. Well, I'll hear from Mr. Scheck on the discovery issue and let's see how far we get.
