parking lot, right? When you arrived at the Loop you were all the way in the very last row farthest away, weren't you? Okay. nd that was because there were so many cars there already for people in the businesses, dinner, things like that, correct? I would assume so. ll right. Otherwise you probably would have 0 parked in the first row where your roommate found a spot? Okay. nd again when you left there was still cars in the parking lot. You didn't close the Loop down or hang out and drink or anything like that, that's correct? There was still cars in the parking lot, yes. Right. nd there even still cars in the row you were in, correct? Probably. I don't recall. Okay. You don't have a clear memory of that? ll right. nd again it was a very stressful time, correct?
0 So when they come out and you see the driver get out he actually gets out of his door, is that correct? He then goes to the back door and opens it, true? Yes. You then see the driver of the red SUV reach into that car, isn't that true? 0 that true? He was leaning in, yes. nd you can't see him at this point, isn't I can just see his lower half. Right. You can't see what he's doing in the car, right? You can't see where his hands are, what he's saying, anything like that, right? nd he's the one on the phone, correct? ll right. nd you even said that if he was screaming or yelling you were close enough you would have heard him, is that true?
did you? nd you didn't hear him talking on the phone, I couldn't hear what he was saying, no. He wasn't -- he didn't seem in shock or panicked or screaming or yelling, is that fair? Not particularly, no. Okay. But it is fair to say that? It's fair, yes. Okay. Thank you. Now the passenger gets 0 out, is that true? Now the passenger is on the other side of the Durango. The Durango is actually looking at you and you're on a diagonal from it, correct? that true? There's other cars in the parking lot, is The driver's door is open, is that true? The back passenger behind the driver is open, is that true? I mean you have two doors open now, the driver and then the passenger behind? Oh, correct, yes. Okay. nd he's now -- you can't see what
he's doing in the truck, true? Okay. nd now on the other side the driver -- the passenger gets out and the passenger he leaves his door open, doesn't he? I believe so. nd then he opens up what you think is the back door, isn't that true? The passenger I couldn't see what he was 0 doing after he got out of the car. ll right. So you actually lose the entire sight of the passenger, right front passenger of that vehicle, is that true? minute? nd you said all this happens in about a bout, yes. ll right. So when Mr. Guy asked you you didn't see anything thrown from the vehicle there was a vantage point you couldn't even see, isn't that true? I couldn't see the passenger. Right. nd you can't see what the driver is doing inside the car? Right? nd you do know the passenger got
out, isn't that right? Yes. Because you actually watched them both get in after about a minute? nd at one point you had to get in the car and start it, is that true? So your eyes are completely diverted away 0 from the Durango? ll right. Obviously. nd then when you back out and put the car in reverse you're looking down at your vehicle, is that true? I mean I can still see them. They were backing out at the same time. No, no, I understand that, but when you start the car and put in reverse you have to look down and take your eyes off of them to do that, is that fair? ll right. nd then when you back out obviously you don't want to run somebody over. You're looking behind you, correct? You just didn't back straight out looking at
the Durango? nd then as you back out the red SUV is backing out, correct? nd then you drive forward? Now as you drive forward are you now still 0 looking in the rearview mirror as you're driving straight through a parking lot? Yes. ll right. So you're not even focused on what's in front of you? I mean I could see that there were no cars in front of me and no one was backing up, but I could see the red SUV had backed into the Gate Gas Station. No, no, and I understand that, but my question is you didn't watch the SUV the entire time it backed out, you had other things that you needed to do to safely leave that scene? Sure. nd is it safe to say your number one priority was self-preservation, making sure you're safe, yes? Yes.
Making sure your brother's safe? Yes. nd making sure your nephew's safe? Yes. That's your priority? Yes. Okay. nd in that aspect you don't know what happened outside of your presence, right? 0 nd you have no idea what happened on the other side of that vehicle, correct? nd you have no idea what happened back at the Gate Station, do you? re you familiar with that area? Yes. I lived there. There's bushes back there behind the Gate. Have you been there? There's like a little bread company right next to the Gate? Yes. You ever go over there? I've been there once. ll right. Did you ever see dumpsters and trees and bushes back there?
There are, yes. ll right. Matter of fact, there's a road that goes from the plaza behind the Gate Gas Station to go to Baymeadows, true? Behind the plaza or behind the gas station? Behind -- from the plaza behind the Gate Gas Station so you don't have to go through the gas station? 0 I'm not sure. Okay. But that would be on the picture if it is. You're just not -- you're not sure if it's there? Okay. But you know there's obviously dumpsters and things like that back there from going there? Okay. But again you have no idea, you're not here to testify to this jury what happened other than what you had the ability to see, correct? nd as a matter of fact, the officers kind of asked you the same questions Mr. Guy did, correct? You also gave a sworn statement two days later on December th, is that true?
nd you actually gave it with Ms. Wolfson who's here today? nd two homicide detectives? nd now you reviewed your testimony with them before they recorded your statement, isn't that true? 0 call? Were they -- did they let you listen to the I don't believe I listened to the call. Okay. But you do recall going over your version of what you saw prior to the tape or the recording? They asked me the same questions essentially. Okay. nd that was before they hit the recorder to record you and swear you in, is that true? nd you kind of took an oath to tell the truth like you did today? nd you took an oath like you did to do -- in the deposition?
Okay. Would you say the call is a fair and accurate representation of what was going on that night? Did you lie at all on the tape? Did you try to create any story or anything that didn't happen? 0 Were you trying to be a hero or anything like that, ma'am? Was your brother doing anything like that? You were just reporting what you saw? nd that tape would be the best evidence of what you saw and what happened that night? Now you actually saw this on T.V., this case after it happened, is that true? You actually -- it was highly televised, we can agree to that? Definitely.
I mean social media, T.V. media, newspapers and you were part of that. You got to see that, correct? nd that was before you even talked to the police on December th, is that accurate? I believe I had seen it on the news before I spoke to the detectives. 0 statement? Detectives?

I don't think -- I don't recall exactly what we discussed other than what we had seen. evening? Okay. But you guys did talk about that nd it's possible you did talk about the
0 media coverage. You just don't recall? Okay. nd at one point you had to try to find your keys to give your brother to unlock the door, correct? I think the car you had at the time you didn't have like a remote control to unlock it. You had to physically put the key in and unlock it? 0 ll right. nd you didn't have electric locks. You kind of had to reach over and open the other side? Okay. My brother did that. I'm sorry? My brother put my nephew in the car seat and he unlocked it manually. Okay. Did he unlock your side and let you in or did he unlock his side and get his son in? Well, my nephew's car seat was on the driver's side of the vehicle, so he had to go around to the driver's -- front driver's side and unlock that door and then unlock the back door through the front
door and then put my nephew in. nd by doing so your brother would have to have his back turned to the Durango because of the way you were parked? nd where the Durango was? Okay. nd where were you standing when all this was going on? 0 I was still behind -- I was on the passenger side of the car. You were behind your car for protection? Okay. MR.
