"Well, you want all of 52 as an exhibit for the appellate record, but you don't want the jury to get all of 52?"Source
"Certainly, we didn't cross examine on the entirety of 52, because I understood that 52, in its entirety, was not being admitted."Source
"So the book is however many pages it is, but I think it's outside of what was appropriate for cross examination at the time."Source
"because the weight and authenticity of this exhibit has now been put in dispute, I don't know how the jurors would evaluate the testimony about its contents... without the object itself."Source
