A brief further redirect examination of Steven Oppler that went nowhere. Marcia Clark attempted to ask Oppler about his impressions of Thano Peratis' demeanor — likely trying to counter a coaching implication — but both questions were shut down by sustained objections before any meaningful testimony could be elicited. The witness was then thanked and excused.
# 1 THE COURT: Miss Clark.
FURTHER REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MS. CLARK
# 2 MS. CLARK: Was there anything about the nature of Mr. Peratis' demeanor or his answers that lead you to believe anyone had coached him, sir?
KEY QUOTE # 3 MR. NEUFELD: Your Honor, he's not qualified to answer that question.
# 4 THE COURT: Sustained. Sustained.
# 5 MS. CLARK: Did you form any impression about Mr. Peratis'--the nature of Mr. Peratis' responses to the question?
# 6 MR. NEUFELD: Objection. He's not competent to answer that either.
# 7 THE COURT: Sustained. That's for the jury to decide.
KEY QUOTE # 8 MS. CLARK: I have nothing further.
# 9 THE COURT: Anything else?
# 10 MR. NEUFELD: Nothing else.
# 11 THE COURT: All right. Thank you. Mr. Oppler, thank you very much, sir. You're excused, sir.
