GRAND JURY HEARING VOLUME VII
MS. WHIRLEY: Good morning.
(Everybody says good morning.)
MS. WHIRLEY: I'm Sheila Whirley. of
course, Kathi Alizadeh is here, 12 grand jurors is
here, and the court reporter. Today is September
the 25th, Thursday. And I don't have the total
ew Ao es wn
program memorized for this morning or for today. I
9 can tell you our first witness is 5
10 » we heard his taped
11 statements last time we were here, recorded
12 statements with the police, with the FBI agent, and
13 also made several appearances on the media for CNN,
14 and I think various TV channels. You guys remember
15 that, he is going to testify live here this morning.
16 And then, Kathi, could you tell us what
17 else is on the agenda today?
18 MS. ALIZADEH: I don't know. No,
19 actually, we have a witness scheduled for 10:30. He
20 called me bright and early this morning to cancel,
21 so we're going to probably play you, I don't think
22 Witness Number 10, remember the guy that was
23 He has a recorded statement
24 I don't think I played.
25 MS. WHIRLEY: Only played part of it. We

had about ten minutes left.
MS. ALIZADEH: We can play the end of that
to finish that and then we also have, you all heard
from last time and she has media
interviews that take, I think, about 33 minutes
total for all of her media interviews. And then she
also has some recorded statements that we can play
ew Ao es wn
and hopefully, that will fill out the morning.
9 And then in the afternoon we have a
10 witness scheduled to be here at 12:30. I will check
11 and make sure he hasn't called to cancel during a
12 break or whatever, hopefully then we will have
13 another witness here in the afternoon. He also has
14 a taped statement. I can't remember if it is 30
15 minutes or an hour, it doesn't exceed an hour.
16 So if he, you know, shows up, we can play
17 his statement and then have him testify, and I think
18 we are trying to recess 2:30.

20 MS. ALIZADEH: At the lunch break, if we
21 need to figure out how to fill our time, we'll do
22 that.
23 Also, if you recall, Witness Number 10 had
24 talked about the fact that he is,
25 at the scene the

aftermath,
I do have that clip and we will play it
for you. It is only a couple minutes and, you know,
just so you know,
It is not a very long
clip, so if you all, if we go through it, we can
ew Ao es wn
play it again. So we can go back and try to listen,
9 because the person who is doing the recording
10 occasionally speaks and, of course, their voice will
11 kind of talk over the people that are in the
12 background.
13 So it might be, if you request it, it
14 might be you want to hear that a couple of times
15 just so you can try to pick up what's being said.
16 All right.
17 MS. WHIRLEY: All right. I'll go get the
18 first witness.
19 MS. ALIZADEH: Let's talk about the
20 question that they had.
21 MS. WHIRLEY: Okay.
22 MS. ALIZADEH: We were not on the record,
23 I think it was last week when one of you asked a
24 question about your deliberations and, of course,
25 you've been sitting as a grand jury for several

1 months, so you know that it takes nine people to |
2 indict and the question was asked what if we have, = |
3 what if we can't, since we're giving you a variety = |
4 of different charges to consider, I think the |
5 question was, what if we don't have nine people that |
6 all agree on the same charge, what do we do then or |
7 what happens. |
8 And I wanted to make sure that I put that |
9 in there in the record that that was a question that |
10 was asked and we have had discussions about that and |
11 what I will tell you is we're researching this |
12 because we want to make sure before we tell you, you |
13 know, we want to make sure we're correct on the law, |
14 but I assure you that we will have an answer for you |
15 well before you begin your deliberations about what, |
16 in the event that that would happen, what happens |
17 then. All right. |
18 Are there any other questions that anybody |
19 had thought of? Okay, all right. |
