CROSS-EXAMINATION Q (By MR. SUMMER) Okay. With respect to this stocking cap, is State's Exhibit Number 13 similar to the ones you sell? A They look exactly like the ones he bought. He bought 3 of them. Q Okay. Go through it again. It could be one that is similar to that as opposed to the actual one. MR. LINTON: That's argumentative, Your Honor. THE COURT: Well, he's already answered the question previously. MR. SUMMER: What was his answer? THE COURT: I believe he said it could be. MR. LINTON: Wait just a minute, Your Honor. I move that answer be stricken. THE COURT: If in fact he answered the question it will be stricken. Any further questions, Mr. Summer? MR. SUMMER: No, Your Honor. RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION Q (By MR. LINTON) Sir, I'm going to hand you again State's Exhibit 13, and will you examine it and tell the Court what differences if any you see between this particular exhibit and the stocking cap you sold on January 7, 1977. A Well, just that the way it is laying here, it's open and the ones that we have on display are folded up like this. But other than that I don't really see any difference.
