1 A. Well, not necessarily all at once, but we certainly had
2 resources and I certainly did not ask that more be done

4 Q. And you could have told the Court at that point, correct?
5 A. I certainly could have said to the Court that there is a

9 A. I did not do that.

11 said, pretty instantly, that this is potentially significant
12 information, correct?
13 A. If it's the same person, it's very significant information.
14 I certainly appreciated that.
15 Q. No one -- you didn't require anyone to have to explain that
16 to you, correct?
17 A. No. I mean, we had a lot of Google-type information on a
18 lot of jurors and, you know, it's a big metropolitan area.

21 A. Can --
22 Q. You did not require anybody else to explain to you the
23 significance of that information. Is that true?
24 A. If that's your question, the answer is no, I did not ask
25 anyone to do any further research.
