Jose asks if the witness knows Micheal Malone, and does he still work for the FBI. She says she is familiar with Micheal Malone but does not know if he still works for the FBI. Jose is asking the witness if she is familiar that Micheal Malone testified in a case where the microscopic characteristics came into play where the person was later aquitted.
She does not believe that was improper, she has not seen the transcript...
Jose has found that they are not allowed to say that a hair definitely comes from a person. She has agreed with that. She said we can only say probably. They take a conservative stance.
Jose is bringing up another case where a person who does the same job as the witness, testified in a case and said they could definitely connected the hairs to a certain person and later it was found that you can't do that and so the person on trial got off.
HHJP: got VERY upset and told Jose we won't be having another case on trial here, that Jose can ask her about her methods and whatnot but to stay away from "trying" other cases other than this one.
Jose is back to questioning the witness again.
