Vinny Gambini:
I object to this witness being called at this time. We've been given no prior notice he'd testify. No discovery of any tests he's conducted or reports he's prepared. And as the court is aware, the defense is entitled to advance notice of any witness who will testify, particularly to those who will give scientific evidence, so that we can properly prepare for cross-examination, as well as to give the defense an opportunity to have the witness's reports reviewed by a defense expert, who might then be in a position to contradict the veracity of his conclusions. [there is a short pause as Judge Haller appears caught off-guard by Vinny's sudden compentence with knowledge of the law] Judge Chamberlain Haller:
Mr. Gambini? Vinny Gambini:
Yes, sir? Judge Chamberlain Haller:
That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out objection. Vinny Gambini:
Thank you, Your Honor. Judge Chamberlain Haller:
[firm tone]
Overruled
