DIRECT EXAMINATION OF ROBIN MAYNARD BY JB:

In 2008 she was a CSI with OCSO.

She collected Exhibit S-313.

She recognized a photo of the cardboard mat with a raised pink heart shaped material. Photo marked as Defense Exhibit 16.

She was in charge of the sifting items. Items were coming in buckets with the searchers initials, lane numbers and coordinates. If they found something in the sifting, they would photograph it and indicate the lane and coordinates. This item came from Lane 6 - 45 feet west of the baseline.

Defense Exhibit A-T (stipulation that it is not to scale). Marked as D-17. It was published to the Jury. JB then published the prior photo because he forgot to do it earlier and the Jury did not get to see it. (What is it about this exhibit - it was the same item that had to be put back up by JA and passed around to the Jury).

She indicated on D-17 where lane 6 is and where 45 feet from the base line was. She then indicated where the bones were found in the sifting only. It can't be exact because it came from a bucket that was sifted. 13 bones were found in the sifting. She believes there was a bone found in lane 6, but doesn't recall how many feet west of the baseline it was.

No further questions by JB.

No questions by LDB.

Witness is excused.
