9 opinion that you all had found?
10 A. During voir dire, I don't believe that we did.
11 Q. And at some point in time, and correct me if I'm wrong, but
12 I believe based on something I think you had said in court that
13 all the defense counsel met with Dennis Donahue prior to voir
14 dire or prior to the actual selection of the jury?
15 A. Prior to the actual selection of the jury, all defense
16 counsel did meet with Dennis Donahue.

19 A. And had I believed it was the same person I certainly would
20 have.
21 Q. But you could have?
22 A. Oh, I certainly could have raised that this was information
23 that I had discarded as not pertaining to the prospective
24 juror, which would be true of a whole host of other information
25 that we discarded.
