About

Eric Brenton Sadreameli testified for the defense on Day 18 about the team's handling of materials brought from the South Lake Drive house. He described an inventory process in which materials were photographed, numbered, and kept in a locked office when not being worked on.

He identified selected religious books, Hebrew-learning materials, children's books, schoolwork, drawings, and other items from the collection. The court allowed the materials to be shown to him for identification without publishing them to the jury at that time.

On cross-examination, Sadreameli said he had not been present when the materials were collected. He said he understood they came from the South Lake house rather than Timothy Jones's car, but could not say how they had been collected.
