Also included is the full direct testimony and cross-examination of State's narcotics expert Lt. Ronald Dixon. In each case, direct examination is conducted by Asst. Pros. Storch, and cross-examination is conducted by Mr. Marain. Redirect and recross, if any, is omitted. Also presented is Mr. Marain's summation to the jury and, finally, the return of the jury verdict.

Readers see first hand what occurs during a trial, including discussions at side bar to which the jury and the general public are not privy. This transcript also enables readers to evaluate Mr. Marain's trial methods.
