Summary
A Rwandan prosecution witness is being cross-examined by an American defence lawyer. The witness has been giving testimony for eight days. The defence lawyer asks the witness whether he made notes when he gave his statement to the prosecution investigators and whether he has been consulting those notes in the evenings while he has been giving testimony. The presiding judge interjects and asks the defence lawyer to explain the relevance of this line of questioning
