A Yes.
Q And the device used to record information from
your computer system onto the master CD is a device
within the Recorder's office -- is that correct? --
as opposed to being in some other building somewhere?
A Yes.
@ During your tenure in the computer department at
the Recorder's office, has the Recorder's office had
photocopying machines?
MR. CAVANAGH: Objection.
Q Any photocopying machine?
A When you say "photocopying machine," what do you
mean?
Q Let me be -- let me make sure I understand your
question. You don't have an understanding of what
photocopying machine is?
A No. I want to make sure that I answer your
question correctly.
MR. CAVANAGH: Dave, I'll
object to the tone of the question.
You make it sound like it's
unbelievable to you that he wouldn't
know what the definition of a
photocopy machine is.

him to define it. I asked him if he
had any.
A - When you say "photocopying machine," what do you
mean?
Q et me be clear. The term "photocopying
machine" is so ambiguous that you can't picture in
your mind what a photocopying machine is in an office
setting?
A I just want to make sure I answer your question
correctly.
Q Well, we'll find out. If you can say yes or no,
I can do follow-ups, but it seems -- if you really
don't know in an office setting what a photocopying
machine is, I'd like the Ohio Supreme Court to hear
you say so.
A I just want to make sure I answer your question
correctly.
MR. CAVANAGH: There's
different types of photocopiers,
Dave.
MR. MARBURGER: You're
speaking instead of -- you're not
under oath. This guy is.
MR. CAVANAGH: I understand
that, but I understand what hiswon

objection is. You want him to
answer the question, but I don't
think it's fair.
MR. MARBURGER: It's not
fair?
MR. CAVANAGH: It's not a
fair question. A photocopy machine
can be a machine that uses
photostatic technology, that uses
xerographic technology, that uses
scanning technology.
BY MR. MARBURGER:
Q I don't care what kind of technology it uses.
Has your office -- we don't have technocrats on the
Ohio Supreme Court. We've got people like me,
general guys --
MR. CAVANAGH: Objection.
Q -- or gals. I'm not really very interested in
what the technology element of it is. I want to
know --
MR. CAVANAGH: That's what's
at issue in the case, Dave.
MR. MARBURGER: Not in my
judgement.
