A very brief further redirect examination of Teresa Ramirez by Marcia Clark, consisting of three substantive questions. Clark established that Ramirez had met with the defense that morning at its request and watched all the tape the defense wanted her to watch. Clark then asked whether Ramirez would have refused a reasonable request to help the defense; Neufeld objected, and the court sustained the objection. The witness was then excused.
