13 table where everybody was dropping off their questionnaires.

15 the questionnaire packets, and there's a lot of talking going

17 So I just start going through and marking the questions as I'm
18 like: Okay. I didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking
19 about it.
20 Q. As you sit here now, what's the answer to question 49?

22 stepbrother was accused -- a stepbrother and his friend was
23 accused of sexual abuse.
