 People v. Matola (1968) 259 CA2d 686
The court granted Matola's motion and Lotto's counsel promptly objected on Lotto's behalf, pointing out to the court, "The statements that are being deleted are probably proper under the Aranda case, but nevertheless would prejudice defendant Lotto, and I would like the record to so indicate." The court overruled his objection.
Matola's counsel could have renewed his severance motion, but he had little reason to believe at that time that round two would be more successful than round one, particularly since {Page 259 Cal.App.2d 689} the court had granted his motion to strike the italicized words from the confession.
FN 4 Matola's counsel could not have successfully objected on the ground that the prosecutor's cross-examination of Lotto exceeded the scope of direct, if Lotto's own counsel had not first objected, because only the party calling the witness can ordinarily object on such ground.

 Project information for Conservation Studies of the Raspaculo Scarlet Macaw in Belize
Matola, Greg Sho, and their assistants are exploring this remote area of western Belize to locate nesting sites and to study macaw ecology.

 Last Flight Out | Outside Online
Matola, the 48-year-old director of the Belize Zoo and an expert on scarlet macaws and tapirs, and Sho, 43, a stocky naturalist who moonlights as a guide for the British Army special forces units that train in Belize's "back-a-boosh," have come to the western divide of the Maya Mountains to observe the macaws' daily commute.
It would turn 12 miles of the Macal, and six miles of its tributary the Raspaculo, into a big bathtub, drowning 2,800 acres of pristine tropical forest and with it the riparian habitat that supports the macaws, along with jaguars, Baird's tapirs, ocelots, and spider monkeys.
Matola is an ace at maneuvering through the fiery hoops that pass for politics as usual in Belize and has rallied some handsome eco-celebs to her side.
