About

Subpoenaed records documented Chloe's history of injuring humans and were relevant to the defense theory that O'Keefe's arm injuries were caused by a dog bite. On cross-examination, the prosecution asked whether Chloe's bite photographs looked like O'Keefe's arm injuries. Russell answered, "No, but—"; after an objection, the court stated that the answer was no and directed counsel to move on. The prosecution used the exchange to challenge the defense theory, but Russell's interrupted qualification was not a final unqualified expert concession.
