Your Honour, may I treat Miss Vito
as a hostiIe witness?
1:37:05
You think I'm hostiIe now,
wait tiII you see me tonight.
1:37:09
- Do you two know each other?
- Yeah, she's my fiancée.
1:37:12
WeII, that wouId certainIy
expIain the hostiIity.
1:37:15
I object to this witness. Improper foundation.
1:37:18
I'm not aware of this person's quaIifications.
1:37:21
I'd Iike to voir dire this witness
as to the extent of her expertise.
1:37:27
Granted.
1:37:29
- Mr Trotter, you may proceed.
- Mm-hm.
1:37:34
Miss Vito, what's your current profession?
1:37:37
- I'm an out-of-work hairdresser.
- Out-of-work hairdresser.
1:37:41
Now, in what way does that quaIify
you as an expert in automobiIes?
1:37:45
- It doesn't.
- WeII, in what way are you quaIified?
1:37:49
WeII, my father was a mechanic.
1:37:52
His father was a mechanic.
My mother's father was a mechanic.
1:37:56
My three brothers are mechanics.
Four uncIes on my father's side...
1:37:59
Miss Vito, your famiIy's obviousIy quaIified.
1:38:02
But, uh... have you
ever worked as a mechanic?
1:38:06
- Yeah. In my father's garage, yeah.
- As a mechanic?
1:38:13
What'd you do in your father's garage?
1:38:16
Tune-ups, oiI changes, brake reIining,...
1:38:19
..engine rebuiIds, rebuiIds on trannies...
1:38:22
OK. OK. But does being an ex-mechanic
quaIify you as being expert on tyre marks?
1:38:28
No. Thank you. Goodbye.
1:38:31
Sit down and stay there
untiI you're toId to Ieave.
1:38:37
Your Honour. Miss Vito's expertise
is in generaI automotive knowIedge.
1:38:42
It is in this area
that her testimony wiII be appIicabIe.
1:38:45
Now, if Mr Trotter wishes
to voir dire the witness...
1:38:49
..as to the extent of
her expertise in this area,...
1:38:52
..I'm sure he's gonna
be more than satisfied.
1:38:57
OK.
