1 follow-up when it was called for. Your questionnaire seems to
2 follow the instructions throughout. It appears generally that
3 you read and followed the instructions within each question.
4 So how do you reconcile that with what you just testified to
5 that you were distracted, raced through?
6 A. Pretty simply, because you see your answer, you mark a no,
7 then the next question says "if yes." Well, I marked no, so
8 skip, go to the next question. So that's what I'm talking
9 about when I flew through, I skimmed, I didn't read everything.
10 So if I had just marked no and it says "if yes," immediately
11 move on.
12 Q. Just to return to 48 now, sorry to go back, first you told
13 me it was a good question, how long it took you to fill it out,
14 and then you said you couldn't remember. I want to go back. I
15 think you said you were finished by noon. Do you remember what
16 time you started the questionnaire?
17 A. It had to be around 11-something. Again, I don't know,
18 I --
19 Q. I'm not sure that clock works.
20 A. Yeah, I don't remember seeing -- obviously that clock is in
21 the back and I was facing the front of the courtroom that we
22 were in, so I wouldn't have even seen that clock. But I feel
23 like the room we were in was much larger than this one, and I
24 don't know what time I started. It definitely felt like we
25 were there for hours before even seeing your video and then
