THE COURT: Good morning to you, Mr. Reed.
I understand the government needs to be heard about
something.
MS. DUARTE : I do, Your Oder.
I just have a couple of procedural issues. First of
all, I expect that Special Agent Cugno will take the stand
today, later, and my intent was to ask Special Agent Harrill,
with leave of the Court, to come up and do the computer
manipulation for Special Agent Cugno.
THE COURT: That's fine. You can do that.
MS. DUARTE: And second, Special Agent Cugno, as I
know we've discussed previously, is expected to leave town I
after Wednesday's court date, assuming he's finished with his I
testimony, both on - - obviously, on cross as well. and I
wanted to ask leave of the Court to substitute in Special Agent
Harrill as case agent at that time.
THE COURT: That is fine.
MS. DUARTE: Okay. And last, Your Oder, I wanted to
let the Court know, as well as the defendant, that at least as
of this morning, upon review of the case, I have made a I
decision, which I expect will continue through the close of the
government's evidence, which is, not to elicit testimony
regarding Killercop.com during the case-in-chief.
Now, this may come up on defense's case. Obviously,
if he brings it up, I would ask to reserve the right to get I
into it then, as well as rebuttal. But as of right now, I
don't anticipate calling the witness from the L.A.P.D regarding
that particular evidence.
I wanted to let the Court and defendant know, in the
event that for some reason defendant was counting on that
witness to testify, he would be aware that the witness is
probably not going to.

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
