Miss Arvizo, you testified last week that 16 you recall a trip from Neverland with Michael 17 Jackson to a store named Toys R Us; do you remember 18 that. 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. And you testified that Mr. Jackson took you 21 and your brothers and some fans to Toys R Us, right. 22 A. Yes. 23 Q. Do you know approximately when that was. 24 A. I don’t remember when. 25 Q. And you did say that on the way Mr. Jackson 26 saw some fans and picked them up, and you all went 27 to Toys R Us together, right. 28 A. Yes. 964 1 Q. And Mr. Jackson paid for toys for everybody, 2 correct. 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. Do you recall anybody ever complaining that 5 they were being falsely imprisoned at Toys R Us. 6 A. No. 7 Q. Do you recall anybody complaining that they 8 were there against their will, at Toys R Us. 9 A. No. 10 Q. Now, do you know what a sworn deposition is 11 in a civil case. 12 A. Kind of. Not really. 13 Q. Has anyone ever told you that a sworn 14 deposition is a procedure in a civil case where 15 somebody sits down and answers questions under oath. 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. And who told you that. 18 A. Well, I was sitting in the one that Gavin 19 took during the J.C. Penney’s case. 20 Q. And you were also sitting in the one that 21 Star gave in the J.C. Penney case, correct. 22 A. I don’t remember that. I was just sitting 23 with Gavin. 24 Q. Well, didn’t you tell the jury last week 25 that you know nothing about the J.C. Penney case. 26 A. I just remembered right now when you said 27 “deposition.” 28 Q. So you sat there in Gavin’s deposition in 965 1 the J.C. Penney case, correct. 2 A. Because he wanted me to be next to him, and 3 I held his hand. 4 Q. And your mother was there too, correct. 5 A. I don’t remember her sitting there. 6 Q. You also sat in Star’s deposition, true. 7 A. I don’t remember sitting in Star’s. 8 Q. Would it refresh your recollection if I just 9 show you the page of the deposition transcript that 10 lists you as attending. 11 A. (Nods head up and down.) 12 Q. Could I show it to you. 13 A. That’s fine. I just didn’t remember. All I 14 remember is really sitting with Gavin. 15 Q. Okay. 16 MR. MESEREAU: May I approach, Your Honor. 17 THE COURT: Yes. 18 THE WITNESS: Okay. 19 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Have you had a chance to 20 look at that page. 21 A. No, that was the first time. 22 Q. Well, does it refresh your recollection that 23 you were present for Star’s deposition as well. 24 A. All I remember is the taping of Gavin’s. 25 I don’t remember Star’s. 26 Q. Okay. What -- my point is this: When you 27 told the jury last week you didn’t know anything 28 about the J.C. Penney case, that wasn’t correct, 966 1 right. 2 A. Well, when you said “deposition,” it 3 refreshed my memory. That was a long time ago. I 4 was, like, 11. 5 Q. Okay. Now, you also told the jury last week 6 you have no knowledge of Gavin having disciplinary 7 problems at school before he ever met Mr. Jackson, 8 right. 9 A. I know he talks a lot, yes. 10 Q. Well, that’s what you said, the only problem 11 you were aware of is that he was talkative, correct. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. You also said to -- you were asked by me, 14 “To your knowledge, was he ever asked to leave 15 school,” and you said you don’t know, right. 16 A. I don’t -- no, I don’t remember. 17 Q. Well, you sat there in Gavin’s deposition in 18 the J.C. Penney case where he admitted that he got 19 in lots of fights and got thrown out of school, 20 right. You were sitting right there, right. 21 A. He’s never been thrown out of school. 22 Q. You heard him say it under oath, didn’t you. 23 A. I don’t remember. It was a long time ago. 24 All I remember, I was in my grandmother’s house, and 25 I was holding his hand, and they were taping the 26 deposition. That’s all I remember. 27 Q. Do you remember at the deposition Gavin was 28 asked, “Have you ever had problems at school where 967 1 you got into a lot of fights.” And he said, “Yes”. 2 MR. SNEDDON: I’m going to object as asked 3 and answered. 4 THE COURT: Sustained. 5 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Do you remember Gavin 6 saying he was thrown out of school for fighting. 7 MR. SNEDDON: Object; asked and answered. 8 THE COURT: Sustained. 9 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Are you telling the jury 10 you never heard Gavin ever make a statement like 11 that at any time. 12 MR. SNEDDON: Your Honor, I’m going to 13 object as asked and answered, and ask the Court to 14 admonish counsel. He knows better than this. 15 MR. MESEREAU: I object, Your Honor, to the 16 colloquy. 17 MR. SNEDDON: I have a right to make a 18 record. And I -- I’m asking the Court -- this is 19 the third objection in a row that’s been asked and 20 answered. 21 THE COURT: Sustained. You may sit down. 22 MR. SNEDDON: Thank you. 23 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Are you telling the jury 24 today, under oath, that you have no knowledge of 25 Gavin ever being asked to leave school before he met 26 Mr. Jackson. 27 MR. SNEDDON: Object as asked and answered. 28 THE COURT: Overruled. 968 1 THE WITNESS: All I know is that he was very 2 talkative. I don’t remember. I’m not involved in 3 that. 4 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: I’m sorry, excuse me. I 5 interrupted. 6 A. I’m not involved in that. My mom is. 7 Q. Have you ever discussed with Gavin his being 8 thrown out of school for fighting. 9 A. All I know is he would get in trouble, so I 10 would tell him, “Just be quiet, Gavin. You don’t 11 need to talk back.” That’s all I remember. 12 Q. Have you ever discussed with Gavin his 13 problems with fights in school before he met Mr. 14 Jackson. 15 MR. SNEDDON: I’m going to object as asked 16 and answered. 17 THE COURT: Overruled. 18 THE WITNESS: I don’t know. I don’t 19 remember. 20 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Okay. Do you remember, 21 I asked you last week if you had ever discussed the 22 J.C. Penney case with Gavin or your mom. Remember, 23 I asked you that question. 24 A. Yes. 25 Q. You said you had not discussed it with 26 either of them, right. 27 A. Yes. 28 Q. How could that be, if you attended those 969 1 depositions. 2 A. I’m not talking to them about it. 3 Q. Before. 4 A. No. I haven’t talked to them about it at 5 all. I’m just sitting there. I don’t know anything 6 about the case. I was just sitting there to comfort 7 my brother. He wanted me to be with him. I’m not 8 even paying attention to what he’s saying. I’m just 9 paying attention to how he’s looking. And that was 10 during his chemo. 11 Q. So you had never discussed the J.C. Penney 12 case with him before you attended his deposition. 13 A. No. 14 Q. And you never discussed the J.C. Penney case 15 with any of your family members before you attended 16 Star’s deposition. 17 A. Never. 18 Q. You never discussed the J.C. Penney case 19 with Gavin or your mom or Star after Gavin’s 20 deposition. 21 A. Never. 22 Q. And you never discussed the J.C. Penney case 23 with Star, your mom or Gavin after Star’s 24 deposition. 25 A. Never. 26 Q. You just kind of got there, silently 27 listened, left, and never talked to anybody about 28 it, right. 970 1 A. No. 2 Q. Okay. Now, you testified last week about 3 seeing Mr. Jackson and your brothers go into the 4 wine cellar, correct. 5 A. I saw somebody going downstairs. And then 6 when I was already in the wine cellar, I knew who it 7 was. 8 Q. Was that the only time you ever saw anybody 9 go into the wine cellar. 10 A. I saw several times people go down, but I 11 never really went. I always saw, like, open -- 12 people going down, but I never really followed. It 13 was just that one time. 14 Q. Just the one time. 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. And you described the -- 17 THE COURT: Excuse me, Counsel. Mr. Jackson 18 needs to go to the rest room. We’ll take a break. 19 MR. OXMAN: Thank you, Your Honor. 20 (Recess taken.) 21 MR. SANGER: Your Honor, would it be useful 22 to take care of a stipulation on a technical matter 23 while Mr. Jackson’s -- 24 THE COURT: I think we need to wait till he 25 comes back. 26 MR. SANGER: Okay. Very well. 27 MR. MESEREAU: May I see Mr. Jackson, Your 28 Honor. 971 1 (Brief interruption.) 2 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Do you recall, Miss 3 Arvizo, giving the Santa Barbara Sheriffs a detailed 4 description of the wine cellar at Neverland. 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. And what did you tell them. 7 A. I told them that I walked down the stairs, 8 and then you make a right, and there’s a room and it 9 has sleeping bags. And then there’s another room, 10 and it’s a way smaller room. And on the left-hand 11 side, there’s wine bottles on the wall. And then 12 there’s a -- I think there’s a counter in the room, 13 too, and cupboards. 14 Q. Did you tell them anything about sleeping 15 bags. 16 A. Yeah. 17 Q. What did you tell them. 18 A. That after you walk down the stairs and you 19 make a right into the room, and I think there’s 20 sleeping bags on the wall. I don’t remember. 21 Q. You told them about cubbyholes with sleeping 22 bags, correct. 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. Now, you’re telling the jury today that 25 you’ve only been down there one time, correct. 26 A. Yes. 27 Q. The truth is, you’ve been down there many 28 times with your brothers without Mr. Jackson, true. 972 1 A. No. 2 Q. Do you recall being interviewed by the Santa 3 Barbara Sheriffs on August 13th, 2003, or 4 approximately that time. 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. Do you remember, you were asked when you 7 observed the wine cellar, and you said “many times” 8 during your visits to Neverland. 9 A. Well, many times I’ve seen it. But I never 10 went down there many times. 11 Q. How can you see it if you don’t go down the 12 stairs into the wine cellar. 13 A. Maybe I misunderstood the questions. But I 14 only remember going down there once and seeing it. 15 Q. Are you saying you never told the Santa 16 Barbara Sheriffs you’d been down there many times. 17 A. I don’t remember. All I remember is being 18 down there once and being able to see everything. 19 I don’t -- 20 Q. Did you ever learn that your brothers had 21 been caught down there without Mr. Jackson, having 22 broken into the cellar and drinking. 23 A. I don’t remember that. 24 MR. SNEDDON: Object. It also -- excuse me. 25 Calls for -- assumes facts not in evidence. 26 THE COURT: Sustained. 27 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Now, you’re aware that 28 alcohol is kept in the kitchen area, correct. 973 1 A. I don’t know. 2 Q. Did you ever tell the police there’s a 3 glass-like closure on a refrigerator that has 4 alcoholic beverages in the kitchen area. 5 A. I know behind, like, a glass cupboard 6 there’s some -- I don’t know. 7 Q. Did you ever see any alcoholic beverages in 8 that refrigerator area. 9 A. I don’t know. I don’t remember. 10 Q. Well, you’ve been in that area many times, 11 correct, with your brothers, right. 12 A. When I would go to eat myself, yes. 13 Q. And typically when would you go to eat by 14 yourself. 15 A. In the afternoon. 16 Q. And when you went by yourself, were you 17 easily able to get in the main house. 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. How did you get in the main house. 20 A. I would either ring for somebody to come, or 21 if I remembered the code to get into the main house. 22 Q. And how did you get the code. 23 A. One of the security guards gave it to me. 24 Q. And did you have any other codes. 25 A. No. That was the only one I had. 26 Q. Your brothers had codes, didn’t they. 27 A. Yes. 28 Q. They had codes to the wine cellar, didn’t 974 1 they. 2 A. I don’t remember that. 3 Q. They had codes to Mr. Jackson’s room, didn’t 4 they. 5 A. I didn’t know they had that one. 6 Q. And they went up to the room without Mr. 7 Jackson present, correct. 8 A. Anytime Mr. Jackson wasn’t on the ranch, 9 they were with me. 10 Q. That’s not what you said last week, is it. 11 Last week you said that when your brothers were on 12 the ranch, they always left you alone, correct. 13 A. No. When Mr. Jackson wasn’t on the ranch, 14 they were with me. 15 Q. Well, you had knowledge that your brothers 16 were going into the main house when Mr. Jackson 17 wasn’t even there, correct. 18 A. When Mr. Jackson wasn’t there, they were 19 with me. There was no reason for us to be apart if 20 Mr. Jackson wasn’t there. 21 Q. Well, you -- correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t 22 you tell the jury last week, “When I would visit 23 Neverland, my brothers would go off and, for the 24 most part, leave me alone”. Did you say that. 25 A. If Mr. Jackson was there, yes, I said that 26 last week. 27 Q. So you’re -- now you’re saying whenever 28 Mr. Jackson wasn’t there, all three of you hung 975 1 around together; is that right. 2 A. Yes. 3 Q. Did you go into the main house together when 4 Mr. Jackson wasn’t there. 5 A. Yes. To go eat and watch T.V., yeah. 6 Q. And how many times do you think you did that 7 when Mr. Jackson wasn’t there. 8 A. I don’t know. 9 Q. Many times, correct. 10 A. Well, they’re growing boys. They wanted to 11 eat a lot, I guess. 12 Q. And you visited Neverland many occasions 13 when Mr. Jackson wasn’t even there, right. 14 A. No. Not me. 15 Q. Well, you went there a couple of times with 16 Chris Tucker, did you not. 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. Mr. Jackson wasn’t there during those 19 visits, right. 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. And did you go into the main house with 22 Chris Tucker. 23 A. Well, with -- with Chris Tucker, who was 24 there, and with my brothers, yes. 25 Q. And would you simply grab food when you 26 wanted it. 27 A. Whatever was on the -- where the drinks 28 were. I wouldn’t go into the kitchen. 976 1 Q. Well, if you go in the main house, you walk 2 into a lobby area, correct. 3 A. When you go into the -- through the back 4 way, there’s glass refrigerators, and I would grab a 5 drink from there. But I wouldn’t go into the 6 kitchen area and grab stuff. 7 Q. Well, you have to go into the kitchen area 8 to grab food, don’t you. 9 A. To sit down, and they make it for you. 10 Q. But to go in on your own and to pick up food 11 in the kitchen area, you have to go into the 12 kitchen, correct. 13 A. Yeah, but I’m not going in there where the 14 refrigerators are and stuff. 15 Q. If you’re in the kitchen area, you have to 16 be near the refrigerators, don’t you. 17 A. But I’m sitting down. I’m not making it for 18 myself or going through things. 19 Q. But if -- you’re talking about sitting down 20 at the counter area. Is that what you’re talking 21 about. 22 A. Like the bench area, yes. 23 Q. And Mr. Jackson has buns and rolls and 24 things available right where you sit down, correct. 25 A. Yes. 26 Q. And right to your left is the refrigerator 27 area, true. 28 A. Towards the back area and to the left, yes. 977 1 Q. And there’s sliding doors, right. 2 A. They’re -- no, they’re pulling doors. 3 Q. How do you know they’re pulling doors. 4 A. Because I would open them and get a drink 5 once in a while. 6 Q. And your brothers would also, correct. 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. And you will find alcohol in those 9 refrigerator areas, correct. 10 A. All I remember is there was Yoohoos, juice, 11 different waters. I don’t remember seeing alcohol. 12 Q. But clearly your brothers would go into that 13 refrigerator area when Mr. Jackson wasn’t around, 14 right. 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. They would go into the kitchen when Mr. 17 Jackson wasn’t around, right. 18 A. To get something, yes. 19 Q. And they would walk through the house when 20 Mr. Jackson wasn’t around, correct. 21 A. We wouldn’t really go into the main house, 22 because there wasn’t really anything else to do but 23 eat. 24 Q. Well, you have all kinds of rooms with toys, 25 games, all kinds of things in that main house, don’t 26 you. 27 A. But I’m not really interested in those kind 28 of little toys. 978 1 Q. Well, they’re not all little toys, now, are 2 they. 3 A. Mainly from what I remember, yes. 4 Q. Your brothers were caught on numerous 5 occasions in that house with Mr. Jackson absent, 6 right. 7 A. To go get something to eat, that’s all I 8 remember. 9 Q. Well, you described in detail to the 10 sheriffs what you saw in Mr. Jackson’s room, 11 correct. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. You described in detail that there was a 14 lower level, a stairway, and a higher level, 15 correct. 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. You told the sheriffs in detail what you saw 18 on those various levels, right. 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. That’s because you were in there on numerous 21 occasions, correct. 22 A. No. 23 Q. And you know that your brothers had that 24 code to get in there when Mr. Jackson wasn’t around, 25 didn’t they. 26 A. Yeah, but the outer door, that’s locked too. 27 Q. But they seemed to get into that also, 28 didn’t they. 979 1 A. Not that I remember, no. 2 Q. Well, you gave the Santa Barbara Sheriffs a 3 detailed description of Mr. Jackson’s bathroom, 4 right. 5 A. The one that’s inside the room, yes. 6 Q. Well, you had spent time in there, correct. 7 A. No. I never went to the rest room in there. 8 Q. How could you give a detailed description of 9 the rest room if you haven’t spent time looking at 10 what’s in there. 11 A. Because I was in the room the one time, and 12 I was just looking around. I had never been in 13 there. I wanted to see. And you just -- you can 14 look in and see what’s in there. 15 Q. When your brothers and you were at Neverland 16 without Mr. Jackson, did you go into the theater. 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. What did you do in the theater with your 19 brothers when Mr. Jackson wasn’t there. 20 A. Watch movies, get little snacks. 21 Q. What are the kinds of movies you used to 22 watch. 23 A. I don’t remember. 24 Q. Okay. How did you get the movies. 25 A. We would ask somebody from the front. I 26 don’t remember. 27 Q. Okay. But you had access to the theater 28 when you wanted, right. 980 1 A. Yes. It was open. 2 Q. No one ever told you you couldn’t enter the 3 theater and watch a film, right. 4 A. Not that I remember, no. 5 Q. Nobody ever told you you couldn’t have food 6 in the theater, popcorn, ice cream, sodas, whatever 7 you wanted, right. 8 A. Not that I remember, no. 9 Q. And you indicated that one particular -- you 10 first met Mr. Jackson approximately in the year 11 2000, right. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. You indicated that you didn’t come back, you 14 don’t think, in the year 2001, right. 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. Okay. You started to come back in 2002, 17 right. 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. When did Chris Tucker first take you to 20 Neverland, if you know. 21 A. In 2001. Because we didn’t meet him until 22 2001. 23 Q. And you indicated that at one point Mr. 24 Jackson had given your family a vehicle, right. 25 A. Yes. 26 Q. Were you ever in any discussions with Aja 27 Tucker about getting another vehicle from Chris 28 Tucker. 981 1 A. I know -- because we didn’t have no car at 2 that time. And Chris had told me, “I’m giving you 3 guys a Christmas present, and it’s Aja’s old car.” 4 Q. And you gave Aja and Chris your mother’s 5 driver’s license information, correct. 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. You gave it to them so the car could be 8 transferred into your mother’s name, right. 9 A. Yeah, they wanted it so they could put it in 10 my mom’s name. 11 Q. You never told them that Michael Jackson had 12 given your car a family as well. 13 A. Well, we didn’t have that car at that time. 14 We had no car at that time. 15 Q. When did you first get a car from Mr. 16 Jackson. 17 A. When Gavin was -- during his chemotherapy. 18 It was for Gavin. 19 Q. And didn’t you tell the jury last week that 20 you never asked Chris Tucker for any assistance. 21 A. We didn’t ask him for it. He said, “I want 22 to give this to you guys for a Christmas present.” 23 Q. So you then got the driver’s license info 24 from your mother and sent it to Chris. 25 A. No, I gave it to Aja. 26 Q. Did you ever get that car. 27 A. No. 28 Q. What happened. 982 1 A. I don’t know. It just -- we didn’t get it 2 after all, because of -- the communication broke off 3 because of this. 4 Q. Okay. So in your mind, but for this 5 investigation, you would have gotten a second car 6 from Aja, correct. 7 A. We’ve only -- we didn’t have a car at that 8 time, so it wouldn’t have been a second car. 9 Q. Okay. 10 A. We were driving the bus. We were in the 11 bus. 12 MR. MESEREAU: Your Honor, at this time I’d 13 like to, with the Court’s permission, play the Brad 14 Miller interview tape for the jury. 15 MR. SANGER: Your Honor, let me address a 16 technical matter on that, if I may. 17 THE COURT: Yes. 18 MR. SANGER: I’ve talked with Mr. Sneddon, 19 and this is acceptable. We’re not quite sure what 20 all the technical problems were, so we got a new 21 disk that was made directly from the original, and 22 it is not the one that’s marked 5000. 23 And what we would ask to do - it’s in the 24 machine right now - after we play it, we’d ask that 25 the new disk be marked as 5000, and this -- 26 THE BAILIFF: You need to speak into the 27 microphone. 28 MR. SANGER: And this old disk is -- the one 983 1 that was marked just be given back to us, if that’s 2 all right. 3 THE COURT: In other words, you want to 4 exchange the new disk for the old disk and keep the 5 same number. 6 MR. SANGER: That’s correct. 7 THE COURT: Is that agreeable, Mr. Sneddon. 8 MR. SNEDDON: It is, Your Honor. 9 THE COURT: All right. I’ll approve that. 10 THE BAILIFF: Are you playing off the DVD. 11 MR. SANGER: We’re going to play off the 12 DVD. And with the Court’s permission now, we will 13 play Exhibit 5000. 14 THE BAILIFF: Are you playing off the player 15 down there. 16 MR. SANGER: I’m playing off the player down 17 there. 18 THE BAILIFF: So you need to go to “Input 19 4,” and you need to push the DVD player. 20 MR. SANGER: Right. I think they had it all 21 set up. 22 THE COURT: And the screen doesn’t matter, 23 because it’s just an audiotape. 24 MR. SANGER: May I proceed, Your Honor. 25 THE COURT: Yes. 26 (Whereupon, an audiotape, Defendant’s 27 Exhibit No. 5000, was played for the Court and 28 jury.) 984 1 THE COURT: Lorna, is that in evidence. 2 THE CLERK: No. 3 MR. MESEREAU: May I proceed, Your Honor. 4 THE COURT: Are you offering that in 5 evidence. 6 MR. MESEREAU: Yes, we are. 7 MR. SNEDDON: Your Honor, I have no 8 objection. With the Court’s permission, I would 9 like an opportunity to get a copy of that one. I 10 won’t say anything else. But just -- if the Court 11 would give me permission to get a copy. 12 THE COURT: You have permission. 13 MR. SNEDDON: Thank you. 14 THE COURT: It’s admitted into evidence. 15 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Miss Arvizo, you testified 16 last week that you didn’t know Mr. Miller worked for 17 Mr. Geragos, correct. 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. He said that twice in this interview, true. 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. Have you ever discussed with your mother who 22 Mr. Brad Miller worked for. 23 A. Wasn’t really a subject. 24 Q. Well, have you ever discussed it with her. 25 A. No. 26 Q. Now, you know that your mother appeared for 27 a pre-trial hearing in this case a number of months 28 ago, right. 985 1 A. Yes. 2 Q. And you knew the issue was whether or not 3 she knew Mr. Miller worked for Geragos, didn’t you. 4 A. No. All I knew is she came up here. 5 Q. You never discussed what she was coming up 6 here for with her. 7 A. No. 8 Q. And never discussed what she said. 9 A. No. 10 Q. Okay. Now, this interview that you just 11 heard took place on February 16th, 2003, right. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. And you heard that date when Mr. Miller 14 began the interview, right. 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. This was after your mother and Gavin had 17 sued J.C. Penney for false imprisonment and sexual 18 assault, true. 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. And this was after your mother had claimed 21 that security guards at J.C. Penney, in a public 22 parking lot, pulled her breasts out of her blouse 23 and falsely imprisoned her, right. 24 MR. SNEDDON: Your Honor, I am going to 25 object. There’s no facts into evidence of this. 26 She said she didn’t know anything about the lawsuit. 27 Counsel is just doing this deliberately. 28 THE COURT: Sustained. 986 1 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Now, this interview on 2 February 16th, 2003, was also after your mother had 3 called the police on David Arvizo, correct. 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. It was after she had called the police on 6 David Arvizo and accused him of false imprisonment 7 and molestation, right. 8 A. After I had told her, yes. 9 Q. Okay. Approximately one week after this 10 interview, you and your mother went to another 11 attorney, correct. 12 A. I don’t remember. 13 Q. You went to someone named William Dickerman, 14 correct. 15 A. I don’t know William. 16 Q. Well, you met with him at The Laugh Factory, 17 right. 18 A. I know his name is Bill. I don’t know. 19 Q. And you and your mother met with him to try 20 and put together a lawsuit against Michael Jackson, 21 right. 22 A. I never met with him. I only met with him 23 that one time. 24 Q. What time was this. 25 A. A while ago. 26 Q. And approximately when; do you know. 27 A. No. 28 Q. Well, you testified last week that at some 987 1 point, Vinnie picked you and your mom up and drove 2 you to The Laugh Factory on Sunset, right. 3 A. All of us went. It was me, my brothers, and 4 my mom. 5 Q. You all went to The Laugh Factory on Sunset, 6 right. 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. And that was after your interview with the 9 three social workers, right. 10 A. I think so. I don’t remember -- no, it 11 wasn’t. Because after the interview with the three 12 ladies was when Aja took us up to Neverland. 13 Q. When did you go to The Laugh Factory on 14 Sunset with Vinnie. 15 A. I think it was during the time we were in 16 Calabasas. I don’t remember. 17 Q. You stopped at The Laugh Factory with 18 Vinnie, right. 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. And your mom got out to meet Jamie Masada 21 and a lawyer named Bill Dickerman, right. 22 A. I didn’t know who he was at that time. 23 Q. Okay. 24 A. And, like, Gavin got off with her. 25 Q. So Gavin and your mom went to meet with the 26 attorney named Bill Dickerman in The Laugh Factory, 27 right. 28 A. All I knew is they were going to go see 988 1 Jamie. I met him when I went upstairs for a few -- 2 couple of seconds. And I didn’t hear what they were 3 saying. I just said -- I gave my mom a message and 4 ran back downstairs. 5 Q. When you say you met him, do you mean you 6 met Attorney Bill Dickerman. 7 A. Yeah, I just saw him there. I didn’t 8 really -- 9 Q. So your mom and Gavin were meeting with him, 10 right. 11 A. Jamie was there also, yes. 12 Q. And that’s after this interview with Brad 13 Miller on February 16th, 2003, right. 14 A. I don’t know. 15 Q. Okay. Did you ever meet with Attorney Bill 16 Dickerman after that day at The Laugh Factory. 17 A. A while after, yes. 18 Q. And how many times did you meet with 19 Attorney Bill Dickerman. 20 A. Once. 21 Q. Were you with your mother. 22 A. All of us were in the room. 23 Q. And do you mean Gavin as well. 24 A. Yes. 25 Q. And Star as well. 26 A. Yes. 27 Q. Okay. Is that the only meeting you recall 28 ever having with Attorney Bill Dickerman. 989 1 A. Yes. 2 Q. Now, at some point, you went and met with an 3 attorney named Larry Feldman, right. 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. That was after you first met Attorney Bill 6 Dickerman, correct. 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. And that was at an office in Beverly Hills, 9 right. 10 A. I don’t know where it’s at. 11 Q. Okay. You went with your mother, Gavin and 12 Star, right. 13 A. And Jamie was there. And so was Jay. 14 Q. Jay Jackson. 15 A. I think he went with us. I don’t remember. 16 But Jamie was. 17 Q. Now, at this recorded interview by Brad 18 Miller that we just heard of February 16th, 2003, 19 Major Jay Jackson is sitting there listening to it, 20 right. 21 A. He’s sitting there, yes. 22 Q. And it’s in his home, right. 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. And you’re saying that after this interview, 25 Jay Jackson went to a lawyer with the family. 26 A. I don’t remember when we went, but it wasn’t 27 during then. 28 Q. And the interview with the three social 990 1 workers was at Jay Jackson’s home also, right. 2 A. Yes. 3 Q. And was Jay Jackson there that day. 4 A. No, he wasn’t. 5 Q. How many times did you meet with Attorney 6 Larry Feldman. 7 A. Once. 8 Q. And at some point, he agreed to represent 9 the whole family, true. 10 A. I don’t know that. 11 Q. Well, you knew that he had sued Michael 12 Jackson in the early ‘90s, true. 13 A. I didn’t know who he was. I just -- 14 Q. Never discussed it with your mom. 15 A. Never. 16 Q. All right. Will you agree that shortly 17 after this recorded interview of February 16th, 18 2003, your family began meeting with lawyers. 19 A. No. It wasn’t shortly after then, no. 20 Q. How long after it was it. 21 A. I don’t know. But it was way after. 22 Q. Way after. Like how long; do you think. 23 A. After March. I don’t know. 24 Q. Okay. But you met with Dickerman -- 25 A. Once. 26 Q. -- on Sunset. 27 A. I didn’t meet with him. I just saw him 28 there. 991 1 Q. Okay. Okay. And you think that was after 2 you left the Calabasas Inn, right. 3 A. I’m not sure. 4 Q. Okay. Okay. Now, you’d agree that in this 5 recorded interview with Brad Miller, and in the 6 rebuttal videotape that was shown last week, and in 7 your interviews with the social workers, your mother 8 continually praised Michael Jackson as a father 9 figure, right. 10 A. Yes. 11 Q. And you continually praised Michael Jackson 12 as a father figure, right. 13 A. I was just really copying, because I didn’t 14 know what to say. I was just latching onto 15 something because David was never really a father. 16 So I was just latching on something to call a 17 father. I didn’t know what a father is. 18 Q. Did you ever discuss with your mother, 19 “We’re going to call Michael Jackson a father 20 figure”. 21 A. No. 22 Q. Never did. 23 A. No. It’s the boys that brought it up. 24 Q. Okay. Well, certainly your mother praises 25 him in all of these interviews as being a father to 26 her children, true. 27 A. I guess seeing the boys so excited, you 28 know, anything that makes us happy, she -- I don’t 992 1 know. She gets it from us. 2 Q. You were sitting in this interview when your 3 mother said, essentially, she liked the boys to be 4 with Michael Jackson at night because they’re safe, 5 right. 6 A. I think she was just talking about the times 7 that Gavin would go to Neverland with Gavin and we 8 don’t know what happened. 9 Q. But your mother was encouraging your 10 brothers to go into the main house and be with 11 Michael Jackson, right. 12 A. You would have to ask her that. But I 13 would -- she never encouraged it. It was the boys 14 wanted to be there. 15 Q. Well, doesn’t she say that in that recorded 16 interview. 17 A. If it makes him happy, she’s going to push 18 it. She loves for us to be happy. Anything that 19 makes us happy, she’s going to say, “Go ahead, go.” 20 Q. But isn’t it true that, as far as you know, 21 she pushed your brothers to be in the main house 22 with Michael Jackson shortly before she went to a 23 lawyer to try and develop a lawsuit against him, 24 right. 25 A. What are you asking me. Like -- 26 Q. If you know an answer to what I just said. 27 Do you have any -- 28 MR. SNEDDON: I’m going to object as 993 1 argumentative. 2 THE COURT: She’s asked you to rephrase the 3 question. 4 MR. MESEREAU: Okay. Okay. 5 Q. As far as you know, your mother was 6 encouraging your brothers to be in Michael Jackson’s 7 house at night shortly before she went to a lawyer 8 to try and develop a lawsuit against Michael 9 Jackson, right. 10 MR. SNEDDON: I’m going to object to that 11 question as argumentative and assumes facts not in 12 evidence. It’s also compound. 13 THE COURT: Sustained on compound. 14 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: You would agree, you heard 15 your mother on many occasions encourage your 16 brothers to go into the main house and spend time 17 with Michael Jackson in the evening, right. 18 A. She wouldn’t encourage them. She’d just see 19 them happy. She wouldn’t push them to go do it. 20 She just -- they would go. 21 Q. You heard your mother -- 22 A. I heard it, but I’m telling you what I know. 23 Q. Okay. She would encourage your brothers to 24 spend time with Michael Jackson at night because she 25 wanted Michael to be the father figure in the 26 family, right. 27 A. She never encouraged it. It’s whatever the 28 boys want, whatever makes them happy, she’s going to 994 1 let them do. 2 Q. Now, you said in the interview with Brad 3 Miller, referring to Michael Jackson, “He’s a bigger 4 father to all of us. He’s given us safety. He’s 5 given us love. He’s given us everything we’ve ever 6 wanted. He’s been our father figure. He’s the only 7 thing we know to be a father.” You said that, 8 right. 9 A. Yes. 10 Q. And you meant it when you said it, didn’t 11 you. 12 A. At that point, I still liked Mr. Jackson. 13 And that was the point that David had left and -- 14 I don’t know, I was just latching onto something, 15 because I don’t know what a description of a father 16 is. I had 16 years of just abuse. I don’t know 17 what it is. I just latched onto something. 18 Q. Do you want to take a minute. 19 A. I’m fine. 20 THE COURT: I think it’s time for the morning 21 break now. 22 MR.

MESEREAU: Thank you, Your Honor. 2 Q. BY MR. MESEREAU: Miss Arvizo, in the Brad 3 Miller tape-recording that we just heard -- 4 THE BAILIFF: Would you turn your microphone 5 on, please. 6 MR. MESEREAU: Oh, excuse me. 7 Let me start again. 8 Q. Ms. Arvizo, in the Brad Miller 9 tape-recording that we just heard, your mother talks 10 about the family being inundated with British, local 11 newspapers, national newspapers, magazines, T.V. 12 shows, Celebrity Justice, et cetera. Do you 13 remember that. 14 A. What’s the word “inundated”. What does that 15 mean. 16 Q. Pardon me. 17 A. What does “inundated” mean. 18 Q. I’m sorry. I should have chose a better 19 word. 20 Your mother says that different kinds of 21 media have attempted to contact her; do you recall 22 that. 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. And do you recall her being contacted by 25 Celebrity Justice. 26 A. The only one -- 27 Q. Do you remember that. 28 A. The only one I remember is the one coming to 1002 1 the apartment. 2 Q. Okay. 3 A. That’s all I remember. 4 Q. Okay. She says, “The children’s old school 5 and the children’s new school are being contacted by 6 media.” Did you know anything about that. 7 A. I don’t know. 8 Q. Okay. And if the school told that to your 9 mother, you weren’t involved, right. 10 A. All I remember is that one coming to the 11 apartment. I don’t remember any others. 12 Q. So she uses words, “It’s been swarmed.” 13 But you don’t know anything more than what you just 14 testified to, right. 15 A. Yeah. 16 Q. Okay. Now, your mother says, “We’ve been 17 rejected, neglected, spit on, fried, tried, burned, 18 abused, the doors shut in our face, opportunities 19 lost. And Michael said -- took us from way behind 20 in the line and pulled us up to the front and said, 21 ‘You matter to me. You may not matter to many 22 people, but you matter to me and that’s what’s 23 important.’” 24 Do you know what she was referring to when 25 she talked about your family being rejected, 26 neglected, spit on, fried, et cetera. 27 A. I don’t know. I guess emotions from David. 28 I don’t know. 1003 1 Q. Okay. You were present with your mom when 2 she reported David to the Los Angeles Police 3 Department, right. 4 A. Which time. 5 Q. Well, there was October -- excuse me, 6 October 1st, 2001, do you remember that. 7 A. The one that I asked her to call the police, 8 I was present for that one. But the one that -- the 9 first one, I don’t -- I wasn’t there. 10 Q. Were you present when your mother told the 11 Los Angeles Police Department that Michael Jackson, 12 Fritz Coleman and Kobe Bryant would assist her with 13 this incident. 14 A. I don’t remember that. 15 Q. Okay. Were you present with her on 16 October 4th, 2001, when she called the Los Angeles 17 Police Department about your father. 18 A. I don’t know the dates, but I was only 19 present after I told her what had happened with me 20 and my father. Then she called the police. The 21 other one -- any other incident I was not present. 22 Q. Were you present when she told the police 23 officer from Los Angeles that she wanted to show him 24 a videotape and numerous photos of she and her 25 children spending time with various celebrities. 26 A. I don’t remember that. 27 Q. Okay. Do you recall your mother said on the 28 Brad Miller interview that Michael Jackson prayed 1004 1 with the family. 2 A. Yes, I heard it. 3 Q. That happened one time in the theater, 4 didn’t it. 5 A. No. 6 Q. You don’t remember that. 7 A. No. 8 Q. Do you remember the family praying with 9 Michael Jackson. 10 A. Not really. 11 Q. Okay. Do you think maybe your mother and 12 Michael and the brothers did it without you. 13 A. I don’t believe so. 14 Q. Is that possible. 15 A. My mom prays like every couple of seconds, 16 like little prayers, so -- 17 Q. Okay. Now, you discussed the Bashir tape 18 with Attorney Larry Feldman, didn’t you. 19 A. I don’t remember what we discussed. 20 Q. Well, didn’t your family approach him and 21 talk about the Bashir tape. 22 A. All I remember -- we had a meeting that day. 23 I don’t remember. It was too long ago. 24 Q. Did you ever drink alcohol on a plane where 25 Michael Jackson was present. 26 A. I didn’t drink alcohol on a plane. 27 Q. Thank you. 28 Do you recall meeting with a psychologist 1005 1 named Stan Katz. 2 A. I remember meeting Mr. Katz. 3 Q. And you were referred to him by Attorney 4 Larry Feldman, right. 5 A. All I know is we went that day. 6 Q. And to your knowledge, Mr. Katz has a 7 business relationship with Attorney Larry Feldman, 8 right. 9 A. I don’t know. 10 Q. Okay. One final question: Have you told 11 the truth throughout your testimony. 12 A. Yes. 13 MR. MESEREAU: Thank you. 14 THE COURT: Mr. Sneddon. 15 MR. SNEDDON: Be right there, Your Honor. 16 Just wanted to make arrangements to have the 17 next witness brought down, Your Honor. 18 19 REDIRECT EXAMINATION 20 BY MR. SNEDDON: 21 Q. All right. Miss Arvizo, first of all, I’d 22 like to direct your attention to the time that you 23 were in the car with Vinnie and your brother outside 24 The Laugh Factory. Okay. 25 A. Yes. 26 Q. At some point in time you were given a 27 message by Vinnie and sent inside, correct. 28 A. Yes. 1006 1 Q. What was the message that he gave you to 2 give to your mother. 3 A. To tell my mom to hurry up, because we 4 needed to go. 5 Q. Is that what you did. 6 A. Yes, I went and got her. Or I went and told 7 her. She came out after me. 8 Q. After you gave the message, did you stick 9 around at all. 10 A. No, I went. 11 Q. Now, you told the jury that there was this 12 incident which led to your request to have your 13 mother call the police -- 14 A. Yes. 15 Q. -- involving you and your father. 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. What happened. 18 A. It was before school. I was walking to 19 McDonald’s to go get something to eat. And my 20 father was parked in the parking lot at McDonald’s 21 across from my high school, and he started waving at 22 me, and to -- going like this, to “come here.” And 23 I just kept trying to go and I didn’t want to, but I 24 was too scared of him. And I walked over, and he 25 told me to get in the car. 26 Q. So did you do that. 27 A. Yes. 28 Q. What happened when you got in the car. 1007 1 A. He locked the doors, and then he was just 2 telling me, “What are you guys doing.” And he just 3 started being mean to me. And I just, “Yes, Daddy. 4 Yes, Daddy. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” 5 Q. Did you try to leave. Did you tell him you 6 wanted to leave. 7 A. I told him I had to leave. It was already, 8 like, during my first period. I had to leave. And 9 he just wouldn’t let me go. He said, “No, I need to 10 talk to you,” and he would grab my arm, and I didn’t 11 know -- I was just really scared. I didn’t -- I 12 didn’t know what to do. 13 Q. It’s okay. It’s okay. 14 During the time that you were in the car 15 with your father and he wouldn’t let you go, did he 16 ever molest you at that time. 17 A. No. 18 Q. Now, you’ve heard Mr. Mesereau use the word 19 “terrorist threats.” Do you remember him saying 20 that. 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. Did you ever use those words to the police 23 officer. 24 A. No. 25 Q. Do you even know what that means. 26 A. All I know is the word “threats,” so I’m 27 just putting two and two together, like threatening 28 threats. I don’t know. 1008 1 Q. But you never used the word “terrorist”. 2 A. No. 3 Q.

I just have a couple more questions. 17 Before your family went to Miami to be with 18 the defendant in this case, Mr. Jackson - okay. - 19 before that time, your brother Gavin had already 20 been in remission. 21 A.

I just -- my colleagues 8 want me to ask you a question, so I’ll do it. 9 A. Okay. 10 Q. You said that you didn’t know the word 11 “terrorist,” but you knew the word “threats”. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Did you -- in your conversations with police 14 officers in describing what happened, did you use 15 the word “threats”. 16 A. No, I just told them what he had told me. 17 Q. And what did he tell you. 18 A. That we better not say anything about what 19 happened, because he could have us killed. 20 Q. Do you know what the term “false 21 imprisonment” means. 22 A. Not really. 23 Q. Did you describe to the police officers what 24 happened. 25 A. Yes. 26 Q. And what words did you use to describe what 27 happened with regard to your ability to leave the 28 car. 1010 1 A. I told him he locked it, and that anytime I 2 really tried to leave, he would grab my arm and tell 3 me “No.” 4 Q. Now, lastly, with regard to the questions 5 that you were asked by Mr. Mesereau, and you were 6 candid with the jury and told them that there were 7 statements that you made to the social workers which 8 were not true, do you recall that. 9 A. Yes. 10 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; leading. 11 MR. SNEDDON: Foundational, Your Honor. 12 THE COURT: Overruled. 13 You may -- go ahead. 14 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: With regard to those 15 particular questions that you answered to Mr. 16 Mesereau that you had lied, why did you lie. 17 A. I don’t know. I just -- I kind of still 18 liked Mr. Jackson, and I didn’t want him to get in 19 trouble. And I know I was scared because the 20 bodyguard was there before. And just mixed 21 feelings. I didn’t know, really. I was just.... 22 MR. SNEDDON: All right. I have nothing 23 further, Your Honor. Thank you. 24 THE COURT: Mr. Mesereau. 25 MR.

Is there anything different about that room, 19 as you look at it now, than when you were there. 20 A. No. 21 Q. Let’s go to the next one. What number is 22 that. 78. 23 A. 72. 24 Q. 72. Can’t read my own handwriting. 25 Tell me about 72. 26 A. That’s the stairway leading up to Michael’s 27 bed area. 28 Q. Anything different about that photograph. 1142 1 A. No. 2 Q.

Now, is there anything in that photograph 24 that’s different than when you were there. 25 A. No. 26 Q. I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you. 27 A. No. 28 Q. Okay. All right. Put that one down, then, 1143 1 if you would. 2 76. 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. Do you recognize that. 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. What is that. 7 A. That’s Michael’s bedroom. 8 Q. Is there anything different in this 9 photograph than when you were there. 10 A. No. Except the crib wasn’t there and the 11 computer wasn’t there either. 12 Q. What are you calling a computer. 13 So the item that’s just to the left of the 14 crib. 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. And the crib is in the far right-hand side 17 in the middle of the photograph. 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. Anything else. 20 A. No. 21 Q. All right. Let’s go to the next photograph, 22 77. 23 All right. 77. Do you recognize that. 24 A. Yes. 25 Q. Tell us what it is. 26 A.

Why don’t you put that up, then. 12 Now, before we move on to the next area, I 13 neglected to do something earlier. 14 We can turn the lights on, Your Honor. 15 Your Honor, I -- oh, Counsel. 16 Okay. I’m going to hand you an exhibit 17 that’s part of the exhibit that’s already in 18 evidence that’s 260, and ask if you recognize that. 19 A. No. 20 Q. Do you recognize the person in it. 21 A. Yes. 22 Q. Who’s that. 23 A. Me. 24 Q. Were you present when the information was 25 filled out on that document. 26 A. No. 27 Q. Okay. I’m going to ask you a few questions 28 about it in just a second. 1149 1 261, do you recognize that. 2 A. No. 3 Q. Pardon. 4 A. No. 5 Q. Do you recognize the photograph of the 6 person in that document. 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. Who’s that. 9 A. Me. 10 Q. Were you present when the information was 11 filled out. 12 A. No. 13 Q. All right. I’ll have to ask you a few 14 questions now. 15 We’re going to change over to the Elmo, Your 16 Honor. 17 Now, 261 is an exhibit that’s in evidence, 18 Star. With regard to the writing on that particular 19 exhibit, did you place any of that on there at any 20 time. 21 A. No. 22 Q. Underneath your photograph, which is on the 23 left-hand side of that particular exhibit, is that 24 your signature. 25 A. No. 26 Q. On the area -- do you have your little red 27 thing. 28 A. Yes. 1150 1 Q. Okay. I’m going to ask you to use it. 2 Straight across from your photograph, all the way 3 over on the right-hand side, there’s a box. That 4 box right there, okay. And it says “Italy” and 5 “France.” Did you ever hear anything about you 6 going to Italy or France. 7 A. No. 8 Q. Okay. Now, let’s take the next document, 9 which is 261. 10 Now, the photograph, do you recognize the 11 photograph. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Who is that. 14 A. Me. 15 Q. And is that your handwriting on that 16 particular document. 17 A. No. 18 Q. Were you present when that information was 19 filled out. 20 A. No. 21 Q. Do you know what that document is. 22 A. Not really. 23 Q. All right. Thank you. 24 We can turn the lights on, Your Honor. 25 Okay. I have another exhibit I’d like to 26 have marked as 470 for identification purposes. 27 There’s no edges on it. 28 THE CLERK: Here’s another one. 1151 1 MR. SNEDDON: All right. For the record, 2 Your Honor, 470 is a clear plastic bag with the 3 number “122980” in white on the front of it. And 4 it’s been marked 470 for identification. I’ve shown 5 it to counsel. 6 MR. MESEREAU: Excuse me, Your Honor. Could 7 I ask that the prosecutor and the witness be 8 admonished to follow your order with respect to 9 describing the contents. 10 THE COURT: Yes. 11 MR. MESEREAU: Thank you, Your Honor. 12 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: I’m going to show you 470. 13 Recognize that. 14 A. Yes. 15 Q. What is it. 16 A. This is the suitcase that held all the 17 pornography in it. 18 MR. MESEREAU: Objection; move to strike. 19 THE COURT: It’s stricken. The pre-trial 20 order requires that you and the witness refer to 21 adult material as “adult material,” not the 22 conclusion. 23 MR. SNEDDON: Okay. I don’t even know -- 24 THE COURT: There are a couple words that you 25 could use. 26 MR. SNEDDON: I’m not sure he would know any 27 of those words, but I’ll -- could I have a second to 28 talk to him about it, then. I didn’t know that 1152 1 meant to the witness, because that would be me 2 telling him words, but -- okay. Let me just.... 3 (Whereupon, there was an off-the-record 4 discussion held between the witness and Mr. 5 Sneddon.) 6 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: All right. Where was that 7 exhibit the first time you saw it. 8 A. It was -- it was in the downstairs, near the 9 bathtub that was like a Jacuzzi. It was near there. 10 Q. All right. 11 THE COURT: Just a minute, Counsel. I want 12 to tell the jury something about our last little 13 discussion, because I don’t want to leave this up in 14 the air like that. 15 The -- the reason that the witness and the 16 attorneys are to refer to this material as “adult 17 material” - or there’s another word I used, I can’t 18 remember now - instead of “pornography,” is that 19 “pornography” really is a legal conclusion that the 20 trier of fact is the person who decides what the 21 nature of the material is. 22 So by having the witness and the attorneys 23 refer to it in a somewhat neutral time frame, it 24 stops any conclusions from being made that would 25 bias the jury. That’s the whole purpose. 26 Go ahead, Counsel. 27 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Who was with you when you 28 saw that suitcase for the first time. 1153 1 A. Me, my brother, Aldo, and Michael. 2 Q. The defendant. 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. And who -- how was it that you were actually 5 shown that suitcase. 6 A. Uhh -- 7 Q. Tell us what happened. 8 A. Just walked in the room and it was open. It 9 was -- there used to be a couch right there. 10 Q. Yeah. 11 A. And -- well, it wasn’t really a couch. It 12 was like a chair. And it was on there, and it was 13 open. 14 Q. All right. And then what happened. 15 A. Michael just started to show us magazines. 16 Q. You say “show” you. Tell us what he did. 17 A. He handed them to us. 18 Q. All right. And did you look at them. 19 A. Yes, with him. 20 Q. And did you look at them one at a time or 21 did everybody have a different one at a different 22 time. How did it happen. Tell us what happened. 23 A. We all looked at them one at a time. 24 Q. Did anybody make any comments about 25 anything. 26 A. No. 27 Q. Do you remember how many of them you saw. 28 A. A couple. 1154 1 Q. How long was it that you were there going 2 through them. 3 A. I don’t know. Probably ten minutes. 4 Q. Now, when did that take place, when you saw 5 these for the first -- that suitcase for the first 6 time. 7 A. When. 8 Q. Yeah. 9 A. I think after the Calabasas hotel. 10 Q. Now, I have one other exhibit that is No. 86 11 marked for identification purposes. 12 Now, I’m going to show you this in just a 13 second, but I want to talk to you a little bit more. 14 Did you ever see that black suitcase that’s 15 been marked as People’s 470 before.

MESEREAU: Objection; foundation. 10 THE COURT: We’ll take that up separately. 11 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: All right. People’s 86. 12 Do you recognize that. 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. Is that an accurate depiction of what it 15 represents. 16 A. Yes. 17 Q. All right. I’m going to ask you some 18 questions about People’s 86. 19 And put it on the board, Your Honor. I move 20 it be admitted into evidence. 21 MR. MESEREAU: Objection. Foundation; and 22 authenticity and relevance. 23 THE COURT: On 86. 24 MR. SNEDDON: Yes. I asked him and he said 25 it accurately depicted the materials. 26 THE COURT: I’m not sure. I haven’t seen 27 the -- 28 MR. SNEDDON: In your book, it’s No. 86, 1157 1 Your Honor -- 2 THE COURT: Okay. 3 MR. SNEDDON: -- in your photographs. 4 MR. MESEREAU: Also 352, Your Honor. 5 THE COURT: I don’t think that’s an adequate 6 foundation for that particular photograph, that it 7 accurately depicts what it is. You need a further 8 foundation. 9 Q. BY MR. SNEDDON: Star, the materials that 10 are depicted in that photograph, People’s 86, do you 11 see those. 12 A. Yes. 13 Q.

MESEREAU: He didn’t identify some of 3 what’s in that photograph, Your Honor, at all. 4 THE COURT: I found that the foundation is 5 adequate now. You had a 352 objection. 6 MR. MESEREAU: Yes. 7 THE COURT: What was that. 8 MR. MESEREAU: Well, basically because he 9 didn’t identify it, and because after describing 10 what he said was there, and then looking at the 11 photo and saying it accurately depicts it, he didn’t 12 identify everything, I think basically it’s 13 prejudicial and irrelevant. 14 THE COURT: All right. The probative value 15 exceeds the prejudicial -- 16 THE DEFENDANT: I can’t hear. 17 THE COURT: It’s admitted. 18 THE DEFENDANT: I can’t hear you. 19 MR. SANGER: Your Honor, it’s a little hard 20 for Mr. Jackson to hear you. 21 THE DEFENDANT: Please speak up. 22 THE COURT: Yes.
