1 Q. Would you have liked to receive that information in order
2 to make a better assessment of your own about whether Juror No.
3 1 was the suspended attorney? After all, more information is
4 better, isn't it?
5 A. It did not occur to me at the time to ask for more
6 information.
7 Q. I didn't ask you whether it occurred to you at the time.
8 Would you have wanted more information? Would that have helped
9 your analysis?
10 A. I don't know whether it would have helped my analysis. I
11 concluded from the fact that she was telling me that the voir dire
12 answer had said that this person had not gone to law
13 school, that this was not an issue.
14 Q. Do you really mean what you just said, that you don't think
15 more information would have helped your analysis, Mr. Schoeman?
16 A. I'm telling you I don't know whether more information would
17 have helped my analysis. I'm telling you that I reached a
18 conclusion based on that information.
19 Q. Would you agree with me that if you have two people, one
20 named Catherine Conrad, another named Catherine Conrad, and you
21 were given information about their middle initials, that they
22 share the same middle initial, that it made it statistically
23 more likely that was the same person?
24 A. Yes.
25 MR. OKULA: Judge, I have nothing further. Thank you.
