Counsel to Prosecutor

HYDE: Mr. Delahunt ...
BARR: And this would also go to the ...
HYDE: The gentleman's time has expired. Mr. Delahunt.

STARR: We have to -- that is certainly an important dimension to our ...

DELAHUNT: Thank you, thank you. And I want to get to another question, and you can see how the time is so limited.

STARR: Yes, sorry.
DELAHUNT: I'll be brief. You know, Mr. -- I think it was Mr. Canady that talked about due process. And I think -- and I dare say everyone in this room today is concerned about due process.

STARR: Absolutely, cross-examination is very important.
