Farmer - redirect 1 (At the sidebar) 2 THE COURT: Before I start, I want to make a record 3 because I said, door open. 4 The defense expressly attempted to suggest impeachment 5 of the witness, that she had indicated the handholding on the 6 victim's compensation form as sexual abuse. So I allowed that 7 question. In light of that door opening, I don't think she'd 8 tread it into expert testimony in any way, but it was directly 9 responsive to a series of questions that the defense put at 10 issue by her description of the earlier conduct as handholding. 11 So that's the record I'm making. 12 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, may I make a very brief -- 13 THE COURT: You're welcome to make a record. I wanted 14 to explain why I said, door opened. 15 MS. MENNINGER: Thank you, your Honor. I had asked 16 the witness a number of questions about her statements to law 17 enforcement where she said she does not remember it being 18 sexualized and I was not allowed to ask those questions about 19 those not being sexualized touches. 20 THE COURT: The record is what it is. That's not the 21 Court's memory. 22 MS. MENNINGER: It's my memory, and I understand -- 23 THE COURT: -- asked repeatedly, that's true, and I 24 didn't allow it to be asked if it was not a prior inconsistent 25 statement, but I didn't preclude that area from being explored.
