1:08:00
Your Honor, I object
to this line of questioning.

1:08:04
We're not concerned with if there has
been relations with a man and a woman.

1:08:09
As long as an examination
for spermatogenesis has been made...

1:08:12
at least we're entitled
to know why.

1:08:14
Overruled. You may answer.
1:08:16
Yes, prosecution could use that...
1:08:19
though it certainly would not be
conclusive that she was lying.

1:08:22
Why not?
1:08:23
There could be several reasons
why the test on her was negative.

1:08:27
The use of a contraceptive...
1:08:30
or possibly there was no completion
on the part of the man.

1:08:33
Now this postmortem,
were you also asked to determine...

1:08:37
if the deceased had reached a
sexual climax shortly before his death?

1:08:40
-No, sir.
-Could you have made this determination?

1:08:43
Oh, yes.
1:08:44
So, you were only asked to make
such an examination...

1:08:47
that might be useful to the prosecution,
none that might help the defense?

1:08:50
I object, Your Honor.
1:08:52
The question is argumentative.
1:08:54
Counsel is trying to impugn the intent
of the representatives of the people.

1:08:58
Mr. Biegler, you must be aware
that the question is improper.

1:09:02
I withdraw the question
and apologize.

1:09:04
The question and answer
will be stricken...

1:09:07
and the jury will disregard
both the question and the answer.

1:09:11
That's all.
1:09:12
No redirect.
1:09:14
The people now call
Lloyd Burke.

1:09:17
Will the witness
step forward, please?

1:09:23
How can a jury disregard
what it's already heard?

1:09:27
- They can't, Lieutenant.
- Do you solemnly swear...

1:09:29
the testimony you shall give
shall be the truth...

1:09:31
the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

1:09:34
- I do.
- Sit down, please.

1:09:37
- Will you state your profession?
- I'm a commercial photographer.

1:09:41
Were you called upon
by the police...

1:09:43
to take photographs of the body
of the deceased Bernard Quill...

1:09:47
before and after he was removed
from the scene of death?

1:09:50
Yes, sir.
1:09:51
Were these photographs
of the deceased made by you?

1:09:59
They were.
