In Session Deel continues to go over his history with the Illinois State Police. “You were actively involved in all these different kinds of crime investigations?” “Yes.” At one point, he was also assigned to the Marine Unit (on Lake Michigan). “You investigated a lot of drowning deaths?” “There were a few.” “About 50?” “That would be a good guess... I don’t know if any were a homicide; most of them were accidents... there were a few suicides, too.”
In Session The witness is now asked about the proficiency or competency tests he is regularly required to take. “You did pretty well on those tests, didn’t you?” Objection/Sustained. “You always were tested as proficient?” “Yes.”
In Session In August, 2002, he moved to the Crime Scene Investigations unit (at his request). “You would get actually mock crime scenes, and have to do the investigation and pass that test?” “Yes.” “And there were mock court scenes, so you’d know how to act in court?” “Yes.” “And you passed as proficient in all of that?” “Yes.”
In Session “You’ve processed over 500 crime scenes?” “Yes, Sir.” “You’re trained to looked for people who have tried to cover their tracks?” “That’s part of it, yes.” “You’re trained to try to pick out the signs that somebody tried to cover their tracks?” “Yes, Sir.” “And that’s something you’ve come across before?” “I have, yes... it’s one of the things you look for... at least to be aware it’s a possibility someone would try that, yes.” “Ever come across where somebody after death fires a gun?” “Yes.” “How does that happen?” Objection/Sustained.
