7 A. We did.
8 Q. It was back somewhere in the nether regions?
9 A. Yes, it was back in that room that's right in the entryway.
10 Q. Now, at the beginning of the third day of voir dire, do you
11 recall Ms. Trzaskoma raising a concern about the person I'll
12 called Juror No. 20 whose mother worked at the FBI and who
13 showed up the third day wearing the FBI turtleneck?
14 A. I will never forget that. I remember it very clearly.
15 Q. You found that very significant?
16 A. I did indeed.
