e year than both
years. You answered that this was one of the reasons why you thought
it was suspicious.
"Now these evaluations have no dates on them. Is it not possible that
both are from the same year?"
"No."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I don't remember which one was from which year, but these are
from two separate years."
"Did you mark them."
"No. I picked one out of each year's evaluations."
"But you don't know the specific year each came from?"
"No."
With further questions, Diana established that from the time the
evaluations had been given to Randy, they had not been safeguarded in
any fashion. Sometimes they were in a file cabinet, sometimes on a
bench or table in his lab.
At least twice, they had left his possession when the secretaries had
called for them to use in tabulating the synopsis for the dean.
It appeared that there was some confusion as to when he took the
'suspicious' documents to Lyle. "I don't know the exact date.
Certainly after the second year I was in the course--January or
February."
"Lyle said it was a year later than that. He said it was last year,"
pressed Diana.
Interrupting imperiously, Anuse jumped in to lead him with careful
questions in a direction away from that subject.
When he finished, Diana summed up his testimony. "The 'suspect'
evaluations were not dated. You testified that you didn't know which
one came from which year. You have no idea if all or any of the
remaining evaluations are authentic, is this all correct?"
Randy nodded glumly.
When Diana again referred to Lyle's testimony that Randy had brought
the critiques to him last year, Anuse again interrupted. This time
Trenchant held her ground and forcefully turned toward him saying,
"Excuse me. I believe this is my time to examine this witness!"
"Now, Randy, you have stated that none of the material in my laboratory
manual was used by you to create the manual you used last year when I
was not in the course. Do you want to change that answer?"
"No."
The accused held up two large manila envelopes, thick with their
contents, saying, "I have here a copy of my manual and the one you
prepared. Clearly marked are the parts in your manual that have been
lifted verbatim from mine.
"In addition, I have given the references of whole paragraphs that you
have copied from published radiology text books and used without
citation in your manual.
"I am prepared to offer thi
