1:16:01
I do.
1:16:02
But you chose not to answer it.
1:16:05
I apologize, Mr. Stern.
1:16:07
I have no personal knowledge
that such a relationship ever existed.
1:16:11
Assuming there was something
to disclose...
1:16:13
...you believe he should have informed
anyone in a responsible position?
1:16:18
I do.
1:16:19
Certainly you would give any information
you had on a case...
1:16:22
...to your investigating staff?
1:16:24
Certainly.
1:16:26
Mr. Horgan...
1:16:28
...you removed a file, a so-called B file...
1:16:31
...from Ms. Polhemus's office after
the investigation of her murder began?
1:16:36
What's the relevance of this?
1:16:38
The witness has testified
on direct examination...
1:16:40
...that Mr. Sabich did not bring
to his attention information...
1:16:44
...that he regarded as pertinent.
1:16:46
The defense is entitled to explore
Mr. Horgan's standards in this regard.
1:16:51
Subject to a later connection, I'll allow it.
1:16:55
Continue, Counselor.
1:16:56
And you gave that B file to Mr. Sabich...
1:17:00
...only after he informed you it was missing
from Ms. Polhemus's office?
1:17:04
That's true.
1:17:07
You've told us that you
and Carolyn were lovers.
1:17:10
For a short time, yes.
1:17:13
B-file cases...
1:17:15
...cases involving bribery
and official misconduct...
1:17:18
...are normally assigned
to the assistant deputy.
1:17:21
At the time, Mr. Sabich. Is that not true?
1:17:24
That was the usual practice, yes.
1:17:26
You gave this highly sensitive matter
in this B file...
1:17:29
...to Carolyn Polhemus
while you were sleeping with her?
1:17:32
That appears to be the time frame.
1:17:37
The answer to the question is yes.
1:17:40
Weren't you concerned, in the midst
of a nip-and-tuck election campaign...
1:17:45
...about word leaking out
that you had secretly given a file...
1:17:48
...that was in Mr. Sabich's area
of authority...
1:17:51
...to an assistant with no experience
in such matters...
1:17:53
...with whom you were sleeping
at the time?
1:17:57
It may have crossed my mind.
