tense

The preliminary hearing resumed with routine administrative matters before Robert Shapiro moved to strike Mr. Camacho's testimony based on a Los Angeles Times report. William Hodgman objected to use of the media report, and the discussion moved to chambers. Kathleen Kennedy-Powell declined to strike the testimony and said credibility was for the court to decide. Shapiro also disclosed two taped interviews that the defense was transferring from microcassette to cassette for delivery by noon; Clark characterized the turnover as late and said she would change the witness order.

  • Judge called session to order with all parties present
