Heading: Dawkins testimony

Text: ANI argues that the State was late in supplementing the opinions of Dawkins, the State's primary expert witness, concerning his inspections of several of the vehicles. In the superior court, ANI raised the State's failure when ANI moved to limit Dawkins's testimony. [13] ANI now argues that the State's failure required a continuance. The State answers that the delay was attributable to ANI. In response to the State's request for production, ANI wrote: Vehicles are available for inspection at mutually convenient time during the two week period of September 27-October 7, at ANI. However, when Dawkins tried to inspect the vehicles, he found that the Datsun had been sold. Furthermore, the 1992 Blazer was made available to Dawkins only in late October, and Dawkins had some problems coordinating the inspection of the Subaru with one of ANI's experts. Dawkins further affied that he was in close contact with ANI's experts and that they were well aware of his opinions virtually from the time he formed them.
