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 Sims had not expected Fung’s lengthy cross-examination. After seeing Fung’s cross-examination, however, Sims expected a long cross-examination of Andrea Mazzola. 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.
