On further redirect, Marcia Clark asked Stephen Oppler whether Thano Peratis' demeanor or responses suggested coaching. Judge Ito sustained Neufeld's qualification objection to the first question and his competence objection to the second, stating that the assessment was for the jury. Oppler gave no substantive answer to either question. Clark had nothing further, and the witness was thanked and excused.
