#Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 51m 51 minutes ago
Mellin: You've never actually worked at ADX right?
Bezy: Correct.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 49m 49 minutes ago
Bezy: "I've been there quite a few times...so I'm quite familiar with ADX" @NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 49m 49 minutes ago
Mellin: How many times have you been on H-unit?
Bezy: I toured it last month.
M: In the cells?
B: No.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 49m 49 minutes ago
Bezy says the last time he was at the H Unit at ADX was 2005, then says it was last month
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 49m 49 minutes ago
Govt gets Bezy to admit he didn't really go beyond control center at H Unit last month, didn't go in cells
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 50m 50 minutes ago
Mellin: So, you looked down a hallway, not into cells, correct?
Bezy: Right, they didn't want us to know that.
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 49m 49 minutes ago
M: You've never worked there though, with inmates under SAMs?
B: Correct.
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 49m 49 minutes ago
M: Inmates with expired SAMs just get moved out of H-unit, right?
B: Correct.
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 48m 48 minutes ago
Mellin: You believe, as you sit here right now, that the US Attorney's office controls SAMs?
Bezy: The final call, no, but you have input.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 46m 46 minutes ago
Govt: the U.S. Attorney may recommend SAMs be renewed but US Attorney General may not renew
Bezy: that's very possible
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 48m 48 minutes ago
M: Prisoners file lawsuits attacking their SAMs all the time?
B: Correct.
M: SAMs can be modified?
B: Not by a court.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45m 45 minutes ago
Govt:You can't predict how long there's going to be SAMs program in the future correct?
Bezy:I think it'll be there a while
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45m 45 minutes ago
Govt: you're not aware the defense moved to vacate the SAMs in this case?
Bezy: no
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 48m 48 minutes ago
M: There has already been a modification of the SAMs in the #Tsarnaev case, did you know that?
B: No.
M: You're not aware of that?
B: No.
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 46m 46 minutes ago
Mellin: Are you aware that every year inmates come off SAMs?
Bezy: It's very possible.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45m 45 minutes ago
Bezy insists he's unaware of any situation in which SAMs have been violated
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 45m 45 minutes ago
Bezy agrees with govt there are convicted terrorists who have been taken off SAMs
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 45m 45 minutes ago
M: When SAMs are removed, someone on the H-unit comes out, right?
B: Yes
M: Even terrorists on SAMs come off them? And get moved?
B: Correct
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 42m 42 minutes ago
Bezy: An inmate might stay in H-unit if his security is in danger
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 43m 43 minutes ago
Bezy explains if an inmate's security would be a threat at a less secure facility they could remain at H Unit
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 42m 42 minutes ago
Govt grills Bezy on the "step down" program where inmates can move into less secure phases @NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 42m 42 minutes ago
Govt: The reason you have that is you want to get to a situation where you have less restrictions, correct?
Bezy: correct
@NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 42m 42 minutes ago
Bezy's voice is elevated as he explains why the goal is to get inmates out of the most secure unit @NECN #Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 41m 41 minutes ago
Bezy insists there are some inmates in the H Unit who have been there since 1994 & "will be there forever" @NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 39m 39 minutes ago
Mellin: most original H-unit inmates have been moved or taken off SAMs since 2002, right?
Bezy: some have, yes.
#Tsarnaev
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 39m 39 minutes ago
Govt gets Bezy to agree that even inmates at ADX can communicate with each other @NECN #Tsarnaev
Jim Armstrong @JimArmstrongWBZ · 38m 38 minutes ago
M: inmates communicate, even at ADX, inappropriately or not?
B: Yes.
M: They try to pull of a hit on someone?
Objection, sustained.
Alysha Palumbo @AlyshaNECN · 39m 39 minutes ago
