Q. Are you aware of any information relating to Patsy Ramsey, Mr. Thomas, that you consider to be
incriminating with respect to the death of her daughter that is not included in your hardback or
paperback book?

A. In a circumstantial case such as this there are arguments that could be made that there is a lot of
other information contained within the files of the Boulder Police Department that didn't fit into -- in this
book.

Q. Thank you. But I want to know as you sit here today whether you are prepared to give me the
benefit of any information related to Patsy Ramsey that you, Steve Thomas, consider to be
incriminating with respect to the death of her daughter that is not included in either your hardback or
paperback book?

MR. DIAMOND: Can you do that without reviewing --

A. Yeah, without reviewing --

MR. WOOD: Excuse me. Can I get him to answer without you suggesting the answer which would
be totally inappropriate and I don't think appreciated under the Federal Rules or by the judge. Please
answer the question for me without being coached by Mr. Diamond.

MR. DIAMOND: Mr. Thomas doesn't need to be coached by me, sir.

MR. WOOD: Well, apparently then you need to understand that, don't coach him. Coach him during
lunch, do it in the last two days you had him.

Q. (BY MR. WOOD) Answer my question, sir. Is there any other information that as you sit here
today know that you consider incriminating about Patsy Ramsey in terms of her being involved in the
death of her daughter that you didn't include in your book?

A. To answer that big question, I would have to review my reports and the case file to determine
definitively if there are items that were learned during the course of the investigation that I didn't put in
the book.

Q. So you would be able to do that if you can come up with this box of materials when you go to
look for it and you find it, right?

A. Or if you can allow me inside the Boulder Police Department, I'll do that for you.

Q. I think -- while I might have a better chance of getting the key to the department than you might,
I don't think either one of us is going to get that short of a court order but I'll certainly try and if you
would like to try maybe we can both together do it; is that a deal?

A. Deal, Mr. Wood.

Q. Okay. We'll go in combined and ask Beckner to open the door. I would love to see it and I know
you would, too. I'm going to try and go through and ask you if you would to take a look at your book --
well, before I do that, let me ask you a couple of other things.
