:25:00
I believe he was drugged
without his knowledge.

:25:02
Objection...
lack of foundation.

:25:04
The witness is speculating.
:25:05
Motion to strike the testimony.
:25:07
So ordered.
:25:08
The jury should disregard
the witness' comment.

:25:12
Was this the spray you found,
Doctor?

:25:17
Yes, that's it.
:25:20
Entered as People's Exhibit "A."
:25:22
Now, Dr. McCurdy,
what would cocaine do...

:25:25
to someone
in Mr. Marsh's condition?

:25:28
It would accelerate
his heartbeat.

:25:30
And if he were having sex...
:25:31
while under the influence
of such a stimulant?

:25:34
It would be the same
as shooting a loaded gun at him.

:25:37
Now, you said
in your autopsy report...

:25:40
that Mr. Marsh was restrained
at the time of his death.

:25:43
Can you explain that, please?
:25:45
From the marks on
his wrists and the bedstead...

:25:48
I believe that the victim
was handcuffed.

:25:50
At the time of his death?
:25:52
Yes. The bruising and friction
was quite extensive.

:25:55
Thank you, Dr. McCurdy.
:25:58
Your witness.
:26:01
Dr. McCurdy, you testified
that in your opinion...

:26:05
Mr. Marsh suffered
his fatal heart attack...

:26:07
while he was restrained.
:26:08
Yes, sir.
:26:09
And your evidence for this...
:26:12
is the marks on his wrist,
am I right?

:26:13
You are correct.
:26:15
Now, couldn't those
same marks have been made...

:26:18
while he was flailing about
in the throes of sexual ecstasy?

:26:26
I suppose.
:26:28
Did you find any older marks...
:26:31
indicating
the use of restraints?

:26:33
Just on his ankles.
:26:35
Where they wouldn't
show in public.

:26:36
Objection... counsel's
drawing his own conclusion.

:26:39
Sustained.
You know better, Counsel.

:26:41
Dr. McCurdy,
can you medically say...

:26:45
that Mr. Marsh
didn't decide to get high?

:26:49
It seems very unlikely that
a man in his circumstances...

:26:52
Dr. McCurdy, are you
a licensed psychiatrist?

:26:55
Objection... argumentative.
:26:56
Sustained.
:26:58
How did you reach
your conclusion...
