Cross examination by Aubrey Daniels:

A: What do you mean by "normal limits ?
Q: Was his judgment impaired on March sixteenth?
A: Yes, sir.
Q: How?
A: He could not challenge the legality or illegality of the orders given by Captain Medina. Captain Medina had become a father figure to him.
Q: Did he suffer from an irresistible impulse?
A: He was compelled to carry out that order without challenging that order. But I would not call it an irresistible impulse.
Q: Could he disobey that order?
A: No, he could not disobey that order. He was like an automaton, a robot. When the order came to stop shooting, the party's over, he stopped. But I would not classify it as an irresistible impulse because it went on for several hours later

A: Part of them. They're base on my notes, on facts given me by Lieutenant Calley that I gave to Mr. Latimer.
Q: Did Lieutenant Calley tell you all of these facts about March sixteenth?
A: Well, I think I got more from the newspaper, radio, and television.
Q: You mean, you knew about what happened on March sixteenth before you talked to Lieutenant Calley?
