Lunch taken early at noon.

L/ Jones comes in says it's time to call Ramsey (Clark). When asked if defenders should join Jones in jail, he replies, "No or they will get the same thing as JoJo got. You'll get needles stuck into you. This is what happens when you stand up for constitutional rights. We're dealing with something very sinister here. They have to deal with constitutional law here. And international law."

Jury and Carrothers brought back in.

LB - Received items from Cst. Leslie - ? quantity rounds 22-250 ammo, 2 banana clips given to him for analysis. From Sept. 18-22 he returned to Gustafsen Lake and took photos. Was with McLarnon. Gehl and Clark in same general area but not exact same scenes. He took aerial photographs from helicopter of encampment from lakeside. New album (Book 2) handed out to jury. First batch of photos of encampment. 425 - encampment; 426-429 - knoll where rocks had been piled to create position of concealment; 420 - triangle structure with rocks; 427 - cabin; 418 - track leading to lake with round pit dug 1.5 metres deep; 424 - Sundance arbour; 424 - structure on hill; 412 - camp area from above; 410 - relation of cabin to lake. More pictures of camp, pits, and lots of trees. 403-404 - vehicles in photo are police cars. More photos of the same. Lots of photos. He's finally done. Ground photos now shown in Book #3 - Ex. 9. OJ would like to ask a question. GW says no. Pictures of vehicles, cabin, and every variation of above. Jones is nodding off and Suniva says he looks like Yoda. Hollow structure mentioned that had live bullets inside. Man in photo described as spiritual leader that was supervising sacred objects. More photos of camp, fencelines, rocks, logs, grass, air, water, dirt, you name it, he photographed it. Found Dad's root beer bottle on knoll with tape wrapped around it and cloth sticking out. When he emptied liquid inside, he smelled something that smelled like gasoline. Photos of found empty ammo boxes, spent 12 gauge casing, "trench" near lake and surrounding area. AB/ Carrothers continues identifying the many photos taken around the camp. Photos of stakes in ground to indicate spent casings found. Rest of the photos he took are gone through. Photo 875 of "trench" shown on aerial photo as being near lake, south of camp. Also points out round excavation that is just being started near camp on west side. Pit also pointed out near fence east of camp. LB asks about apparent pipe bomb. RC there for detonation on 19 Sept. at 14:30. Blown up near Sundance arbour. They put pipe onto chicken wire and chain link fence which they suspended above tarpaulin. Following explosion, they were able to retrieve some fragments. Later, he was given weapons found in tree hole and latrine. On Sept. 28, he tested items for fingerprints including Parker Hale hunting rifle and AK47. Used crazy glue cyanide method. Build chamber and put warm water at bottom. Fumes raise and form white build up on any fingerprints found. Can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. Had a smaller chamber which he tested magazines and bullets on. One 22-250 had a palm print. None were found on the weapons. At scene, McConaghy handled weapons just to ensure they were safe. He instructed him and Demerais to wear gloves while handling weapons. RC explains this crazy glue method superior for getting prints of weapons. He hoped to get prints off AK because it was wrapped in electrical tape, but he wasn't successful. He says the best weapons for lifting prints off are ones with stainless steel surface, but others not very good. He lifted electrical tape off AK which he tested with biological stain. He immersed them in stain and then put photo fluid on them. Then he pressed tape onto photographic paper for a long time. Print may then develop on the paper. This was successful in lifting one finger print from the stock. He looks at Ex. ?, AK and confirms it is the same. Only difference is tape is missing. He again explains method adding that since the image is reversed, he photographed it and reversed it. He matched photograph to James Pitawanakwat. Print was found on the sticky side. This procedure the only one he knows of to get prints off electrical tape. Notes that only a small portion of the fingerprint is visible but the characteristics are clear. He has prepared form on how he came to conclusion. GW objects that the jury doesn't need to see the particulars of every accused including their charges. J agrees with GW and says the same could be done by cutting off the bottom of the form. GW says RC can explain how he compared fingerprints to those of the accused and how he made his conclusion. GW says he isn't trying to hide anything from the jury, it's just that the police take fingerprints and then add a bunch of remarks. J again agrees. Last page of form with fingerprints is removed so jury only gets prints - Ex. 191. LB has him go through document. RC shows how he matched blown up photo of ink prints taken from accused and unknown print. Each print has characteristics and on this match up, he found 10 identical characteristics. Electrical tape picture marked Ex. 192. Explains that fingerprints are like snowflakes and mapleprints - no two are ever the same. There are many similar characteristics that remain the same from before birth to decomposition after death. On Oct. 6/95, he took a number of boxes of weapons and casings that he got from Cst. Leslie and Cpl. Clark that he gave to Insp. McConaghy.

With five minutes to spare, HR says he'd rather not start cross-examination today.
