first of all, miss lemmon is actually here. i am happy to cross-examine her on the basis of her expertise, to talk about the duties of a share of related to domestic violence. she has been working with all aspects of the criminal justice system about domestic violence for 32 years, i think. i do not want to prematurely aged her. she looks quite young, by the way. i think that constant contact as an expert trainer does give her a substantial foundation to have direct knowledge about what it is sheriff's do in regard to domestic violence. i do not think she is an interloper or journalist making a statement about what a sheriff does. she is an established expert and trainer on that topic, who has worked for years with law enforcement, including the sheriff's department. and i am happy to bring her up and ask for more specifics, to the extent you think that would be helpful. in terms of whether or not the act in question was an act of domestic violence, you mentioned that you think that is a legal question. i agree there is a legal

miss lemmon. the declaration is extensive. i have read the declaration. i have also read people versus brown. my understanding of that case, and i am happy to have my fellow commissioners or council tommy i am wrong -- it appears that that case allows, in a domestic violence action, the expert testimony of a domestic violence experts to explain why a witness may change her testimony, if she testifies, if a certain amount of time passes. the opinion appears to permit that, pursuant to evidence code 801, as well as one that relates specifically to domestic violence, and does not appear to require that there be more than one allegation of abuse. mr. kopp, my question to you -- why doesn't people versus brown require us to allow dr. lemon to testify at least for that limited purposes? >> it might, if her expert opinion or relevant to the real issues of the case. our position is that that opinion does not relate to the issues in the case. we do not believe that all the material she is relying on and all the facts she has set forth in our opinion really affect

tillemann -- lemmon's testimony. i do not think that we're here to determine whether he is acting like an unreformed batterer. we're here to determine what conduct took place and whether that conduct, whether those actions rose to the level of official misconduct. and want to make the record clear that that was my position and still is. >> you are right. i should address that. i got a little in love with my rebuttal argument which i think it is a good argument. to go back to your point, i think that is relevant in the same sense that some of the other evidence that you are striking is relevant. it goes to the likely head again, this is a major domestic violence relationship, his conduct before the event is relevant to try to figure that out and his conduct and stevens after the event are also relevant to try to figure that out. it is the same rationale, just a different. in time. -- a different period in time. >> those arguments, you are correct, i think they are irrelevant. that might assuage your fears as to whethe

was the basis for it in the brown case, and that is what i insisted we were going to rely on miss lemmon for. whether or not there is someone who is legally authorized to have weapons, the sheriff is allowed to have them. i am not sure that it will be helpful to whatever additional bodies have to review this record. i am cognizant this record is already huge. i and stand that we have erred on the side of letting things and, but i think we want to draw some lines and limit the record to what is truly relevant or at least related to relevant information. >> commissioner, does that mean that you are not intending on transmitting the full record? >> no, the whole thing will go, but i expect that whoever reviews this will rely in part on what is determined as relevant. so -- >> i don't know. i assume that all of the decisions that you make will be taken as recommendations by the final decision makers out. does that mean that they will not read the rest? i really don't know. >> i am not really understanding your point, ms. kaiser. >> i am just curious about mending the page numbers when all of

>> not necessarily but one of the concerns that i have is that much of what miss lemmon relies on in coming to our conclusions are alleged facts which we have excised from the record and said that they are not relevant. they can rely on what is in the record or whether it is hearsay or not. here are events we have said we are not going to consider. the opinion is based upon what she says are prior acts, which color the conclusions she reaches. it may be for the limited purpose you are talking about, and that is credibility of a witness and why things could happen. it is not an important issue. but if we are going to consider it at all for whether or not the acts that took place on december 31 fit the definition of domestic violence as she describes it, i would tend to agree with you that we keep it in, but recognize that we are using it for a very limited purpose. i am not sure it is necessary to go through it, paragraph by paragraph. we can make a judgment about whether we want to pay any attention to 90% of it. >> may i speak? i am not sure if you are thinking or not. that was one
