CHAIRPERSON
I understand, and I speak subject to correction, the purpose of this questioning is not in the abstract to show that you worked for the police or were a double agent, but it goes further than that.  It's to provide a motive for you having arranged the killing of the deceased.  It is directly linked to the deceased in that it seems that it is going to be argued that your working with the security police, there was a danger of this becoming known and for that reason you arranged the killing of the deceased, also for the purpose of enhancing your reputation in the area.  Do you understand that is, as I understand it, why counsel is asking these questions.  It is linked to the death of the deceased and I think that is why your attorney hasn't objected.  This is not just an abstract attack.
