A very brief redirect examination of DNA expert Gary Sims by prosecutor Rockne Harmon. Harmon used the opportunity to explain why RFLP testing results weren't available sooner — the timing depended on when Dennis Fung would finish testifying, and no one anticipated how lengthy the cross-examinations of Fung and Andrea Mazzola would be. Scheck declined recross and the witness was dismissed.
# 1 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Harmon.
# 2 MR. HARMON: Just a couple questions, your Honor.
REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. HARMON
# 3 MR. HARMON: When Dennis Fung began his testimony on April 3rd, did you know how long his testimony would take?
# 5 MR. HARMON: Was that one of the considerations in not knowing exactly when you would be able to do the RFLP process?
# 6 MR. SIMS: Yes, because there were certain things that he had to accomplish, I felt, before I would come down and testify.
# 7 MR. HARMON: Did you expect the kind of long-winded cross-examination that occurred of Dennis Fung?
# 9 THE COURT: Well, that is not really necessary.
# 10 MR. HARMON: Did you expect the kind of cross-examination that occurred with Andrea Mazzola?
# 11 MR. SIMS: Well, I think after I saw Mr. Fung's cross-examination I expected some long cross-examination after that, yes.
KEY QUOTE # 12 MR. HARMON: Anyone discourage you from doing the RFLP results so Mr. Scheck could see them presented in the case in chief?
# 15 THE COURT: Any recross as to that?
# 17 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Sims, thank you very much, sir.
# 18 MR. SIMS: Thank you.
