14 MR. WOOD: I don't want to stir
15 this up, but, you know, you guys got all the
16 meat off this chicken you are going to get.
17 Come on, move on to something else. I am
18 sitting here listening. You know, this is
19 just absurd. This doesn't have anything to
20 do with JonBenet's murder.
21 MR. KANE: Are you asking her not
22 to answer the question?
23 MR. WOOD: I am asking you to
24 move on to something productive. You just
25 beat this one to death, man. Let's go.

283
1 THE WITNESS: I don't know what
2 they were supposed to do. They were
3 supposed to be there as a pair of eyes on
4 him and at a, you know, at an arm's length
5 without disrupting him, necessarily, but
6 keeping him as safe as possible.
7 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Well, Mr. Douglas
8 was brought into the case early, back in
9 January of 1997, and why was he brought into
10 the case?
11 A. I --
12 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane, you don't
13 really want to ask questions on stuff
14 subsequent to June of 1998, do you?
15 MR. KANE: I made the record. I
16 said if the objection is going to be that I
17 can't, then I have no further questions.
18 And you said go ahead and ask your
19 questions.
20 MR. WOOD: No. I told you that
21 I was not going to change my position. You
22 were either going to do what Chief Beckner
23 asked to be done and we agreed to --
24 CHIEF BECKNER: Before we go on,
25 time out, time out.

284
1 MR. WOOD: Mr. Kane just wants a
2 free-for-all. We didn't come here prepared
3 to do that. Maybe we would have done it if
4 you asked for it. I don't know. But this
5 is not in good faith what you asked me to
6 do, Chief.
7 CHIEF BECKNER: Hang on here. I
8 believe the questions you are leading up to
9 are based on, while it goes back to an event
10 prior to June of 1998, it is based on
11 information from interviews that you got
12 subsequent to June of 1998; isn't that
13 correct.
14 MR. KANE: Correct.
15 MR. WOOD: Well, you all can work
16 that out amongst themselves, but asking why
17 they hired John Douglas, I mean, you know,
18 that's just not going to get it, so I am
19 going to ask you to move on to something
20 that is new, a new question based on
21 information developed or evidence since June
22 of 1998.
23 I'm going to draw the line now
24 with you, and I am going to draw it very
25 firm. Okay?

285
1 If you want to make a record with
2 me making that statement, I will be glad to
3 make it each and every time, and maybe you
4 will catch a question I will let her answer
5 and maybe you won't. 285
5
6 Q. (By Mr. Kane) Did John Douglas
7 interview you?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Did he interview you individually?
10 A. Individually? You mean like
11 without anybody else in the room?
12 Q. Well, when I say individually,
13 without Mr. Ramsey being present.
14 A. I believe so.
15 Q. That's your recollection?
16 A. Yes. I can't remember exactly.
17 I mean, we have been with him, you know,
18 more than once. So --
19 Q. I am talking about back in
20 January of 1997.
21 MR. WOOD: Did you know that
22 Mr. Douglas had been involved in January of
23 1997?
24 MR. KANE: I knew he was, but I
25 was never given access to him until probably

286
1 January of 1999.
2 MR. WOOD: Is that --
3 MR. KANE: I never got access to
4 him until January of 1999. I asked.
5 CHIEF BECKNER: So that's new
6 information.
7 MR. WOOD: What is new
8 information, that he got access to him in
9 January of 1999?
10 MR. KANE: I got to ask him
11 questions in January of 1999.
12 MR. WOOD: What does that have to
13 do with asking her questions?
14 MR. KANE: Here we go again.
15 Okay. Let's move on. I don't want to sit
16 and debate this all day. I'll move on and
17 note your objection.
18 MR. WOOD: Thank you.

Another useless line of questioning stopped.

But Kane doesn't give up.
