1 A. I hope so.
2 Q. Let me --
3 A. These are semantics, sir. Your client is still guilty as
4 charged with our verdict, and that's it.
5 Q. Well, I think --
6 A. Myself and eleven other unbiased jurors determined that.
7 Q. Do you have a better handle on what the word "bias" means

9 A. Absolutely. I've been a plaintiff and a defendant and I've

16 Q. That I'm not surprised by.
17 MR. OKULA: Objection, your Honor.
18 THE COURT: Sustained. Put a question to the witness.
19 The last question was unanswerable.
20 Q. Ms. Conrad, was it your intention to portray yourself to
