Back on the record in the Simpson matter. All right. Have we resolved our stipulation?
All right. Do we have any other witnesses to present--what is our scheduling expectation for the remainder of the day?
If I may be heard briefly on Gary Sims, your Honor, the notes that I promised the court are here. May I also indicate to the court that I have conferred with the members of the Simpson Prosecution team and we have determined that sock B is not anything that addresses any part of the People's rebuttal case. We raised nothing in our rebuttal that would make sock B relevant on surrebuttal. Furthermore, as the court is aware, the Defense rested conditionally subject to the reservation of the Whitehurst matter. That has been resolved now. So there is no part of the Defense case in chief that is left to be explored. So we neither have a proper admission in the Defense case in chief nor on surrebuttal. Furthermore, the notes reflect that Henry Lee made extensive physical examinations of sock B in April and in February as well. His diagrams reflect that the area to which they want to direct testimony was located by him and examined microscopically by him and certainly the April examination was not hampered by any faulty or inadequate equipment. If the Defense thought this was so important, then clearly they had all of the knowledge they needed to put it into their case in chief and elected not to do so. And if I may proffer these notes to the court or would you prefer--
No. I would like to see the notes and I would like to see the photographs, if they are available.
All right. Assuming the worse happens and I determine that Mr. Sims is subject to recall, what is his availability status, Miss Clark?
I actually called the Department of Justice laboratory in search of Mr. Sims, as the court directed me this morning, and I was informed that today is the day that he takes classes at the Berkeley campus in the extension school, I believe, and Mr. Konzack from the laboratory told me that he could not reach Mr. Sims and didn't expect him in the laboratory until sometime after 1:30.
I checked on the availability of Mr. Matheson. He is at school in Sacramento until Monday, and Mr. De Forest is teaching today until 3:00 P.M. and he is teaching tomorrow, so this would require testimony next week.
All right. Then if you will submit to me the notes from Dr. Lee, I will take a look at them over the lunch hour. All right. Then I suspect then all we have to offer the jury at this point then is a stipulation regarding the syringe. Anything else we can offer them by way of witnesses?
I don't think so regarding the jury, your Honor. May I just indicate to the court a couple of things on the list I have here, things we might be able to do the rest of the day?
Right. We are going to ask you a couple of motions we can move up to the top so some of us can start preparing, if possible. Thank you, your Honor.
Okay. My inclination then would be to invite the jurors to join us, and as far as they are concerned, do the stipulation, then recess for the morning as far as the jurors are concerned. All right. For the day.
If the Defense thought this was so important, then clearly they had all of the knowledge they needed to put it into their case in chief and elected not to do so.
Oh, no, we can do lots of things. There are 53 things we can do.
You know about them?
