This is another witness who saw black gloves. I would object as cumulative at this point. Particularly, black gloves obviously are not the gloves in evidence. So I think they have very little probative value.
KEY QUOTEI'm having a hard time hearing because counsel is speaking to Mr. Darden. But we've already withdrawn other cumulative witnesses. This is the only witness I believe from this particular game. Yeah. This is the only witness from this game. What I've done is pared it down considerably so that we don't duplicate.
Let me ask you this though. The objection is, since they're black gloves, not brown gloves, what's the probative value?
Goes to habit and custom of wearing gloves during the game. And we'll show a consistent habit of him having worn these gloves during the game. Now, Mr. Schott also is very recent in time, your Honor. Shows that he's still wearing them the end of `93. And don't forget, Nicole bought him two pair. That was the initial proof in People's case in chief. There were two pairs purchased. And the fact they are a different color is very relevant to show that the pairs he winds up with in these videotapes are the ones she bought and are the ones that she bought for him and that the crime scene gloves are one of those pairs.
The proof was not that she bought him two pairs of gloves. There's nothing on the receipt showing they were for him. There's nothing on the receipt showing the color. The fact that he wears gloves as a commentator in the winter is not an unusual habit and custom. That doesn't--I would object to any further--
Objection will be overruled. There is probative value since I don't think it's unusual that somebody would buy a black and a brown pair. I often buy shoes, both black and brown, the same make, depending what I use them for. That's not unusual. But after a couple of brown pairs and a couple of black pairs, it's going to start getting cumulative. This is the most recent one you have. Proceed. Make it quick.
Judge, do we have any idea who these other witnesses are? We're not ready till Wednesday. You know that.
Your Honor, I just wanted to turn over discovery to Mr. Blasier. This was--I asked--I met with these witnesses yesterday for the first time. I asked that a reinterview be done by the investigator because Mr. Schott, who teaches photography, gave me additional information concerning lighting conditions and use of a flash. I asked that this report be turned over immediately this morning of interviews conducted this more.
I'm just going to ask him about the photographs. Can you look at that, Bob, see if you care about the additional portion? It's kind of common sense, but--
