1 Q. All right. Well, let's talk about the pre voir dire stage.
2 Now, your firm received the juror list from the juror clerk,
3 correct?
4 A. That's my understanding, yes.
5 Q. And your team analyzed it and other information that you
6 all had gathered at that point, correct?
7 A. I think what happened, and I wasn't as close to it as
8 others, is that we received the questionnaires together with
9 the jury list and then started kind of focusing on the
10 questionnaires. But I agree with you that we received both.
11 Q. And the Nardello firm provided to you the results of the
12 research that it was asked to do prior to the start of voir
13 dire, correct?
14 A. That's right.
15 Q. Now, you conceded in your papers that you had in your
16 possession the 2010 suspension opinion related to Catherine M.
17 Conrad prior to the start of voir dire, correct?
18 A. I certainly said that and it's so.
19 Q. And in fact, Theresa Trzaskoma told you and showed you that
20 opinion prior to the start of voir dire, correct?
21 A. I don't think it was prior to the start of voir dire, but
22 it was in the morning before court, maybe some point mid-voir
23 dire, and I don't know that she showed it to me, but we
24 certainly discussed it in the presence of Dennis Donahue, the
25 jury consultant.
