*JM:* Maam when you were 17 years old, you moved out of your parents house and you moved into Bobby Juarez, correct?
JA:* Yes
JM:* And you and he were living at his grandmothers house, correct?
JA:* Um, I believe they were his grandparents, but he called them his parents
JM:* And this was in Montague, correct?
JA:* Yes
JM:* And the address actually was 611 N. 9th street in Montague, California, in Montague, correct?
JA:* I dont remember the house number, but ninth street is correct
JM:* And part of what happened when you were living with him was that you and he became much closer, right?
JA:* Um we just continued our relationship
JM:* Yeah, but it got to a point though that you felt something, right, that something was wrong.
JA:* Umm, yes, oh yeah thats right
JM:* and you felt that something was wrong and so it was something that was inside you and so that for a period of time you kept it inside you but there was a feeling that something was wrong involving Mr. Juarez, right?
JA:* It was more than a feeling, but
JM:* When you say it was more than a feeling, what are you talking about, did you see something else, or what?
JA:* I saw and heard, yes
JM:* And you saw, before you did anything, what did you see?
JA:* Um, he used to talk on the phone a lot with a woman that he was friends with prior to our relationship that he had been interested, said he was no longer interested, but their conversations were long, kind of a little over the line for what I feel is appropriate for a boyfriend of mine.
JM:* So, you had this sense that something was wrong, he was talking on the telephone to somebody that he previously knew before, correct?
JA:* Yes
JM:* And this individual was in New Orleans, Louisiana then, correct
JA:* Yes
JM:* And because the conversations took a long time,that was something that sort of gave a rise to you, to feel that something was wrong additionally, right?
JA:* That and he had a prior interest in her
JM:* Ok, so he had a prior interest in her and he was on the telephone and you believed also that the subject matter that he was addressing on the telephone was something that was also inappropriate, right?
JA:* Somewhat, yes
JM:* When you say somewhat it means it wasnt, so what are you talking about, what is the subject matter, dont tell me what he said, what subject matter did they discuss that you thought was inappropriate?
JA: Um, it was more, I don't remember the specific subject matter, it was the tone, and the way he spoke to her, that kind of thing
JM: Okay so now it wasn't subject matter, it was just the tone that you are talking about, right
JA: No, it was subjectmatter, I just don't remember the specific subject matter
JM: And as a result of that one of the things that happened is that you had a car, right
JA: Yes
JM : And you were driving around occasionally
JA: All the time
JM: so you were driving around then, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And at some point one day you were going to go to work, right
JA: Yes
JM: And when you were going to work, one of the things that happened was you stopped at the library, right?
JA: That's right
JM: And you stopped at the library so that he could go onto a computer there at the library and log on and look at whatever he was going to look at
JA: Both of us, yes
JM: Well, did you get on that same computer with him?
JA: Yes
JM: So at the same time that you're on there, you go onto that computer and you're looking at what's going on, right?
JA: Yes for one period of time
JM: When you say long period of time how long were you on there that's a long period of time when you're at the library?
JA: I didn't say long, I said one
JM: So one period of time, is that what you say?
JA: Yes
JM: Are you saying it was just one time
JA: That day, yes
JM: So that day, as I understand what you're saying is, you go to the library with him and he gets on the computer and you're looking at this computer too?
JA: we get on the computer together
JM: Okay, both of you get on the computer, did you use a code, a password, how is it that it work?
JA: Um, there was not code necessary for the websites we were visiting at the moment.
JM: Anbody can get on the computers there at the library and get into someone's, for example, hotmail account?
JA: I think there would be a password necessary for hotmail, but Id on't know you could get on the computer for something without a password necessary or a login in Yreka in 1997, at that time, yes,or that was '98, excuse me.
JM: So you in order to login, what you're saying is you did or you didn't need a password to get onto the computer
JA: Um, did not need a password to get onto the computer
JM: But you did need a password to get onto, for example, hotmail, a specific hotmail account, right?JA: that's right
JM: or a gmail account if that was around?
JA: Um, yes, I would think, I don't know about gmail.
JM: but it was hotmail back then, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And both of you went onto this computer and he looked at whatever he was looking at and you looked at whatever you were gonna look at and you dropped him off at a friend's house, I think is what you said, right
JA: Well there was one thing that happened in between that
JM: Pardon
JA: There was one thing that happened in between that
JM: I understand that you want to tell me about that, but you did drop him off at some point, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And after you dropped him off, you were supposed to go to work, weren't you?
JA: Umm, yes
JM: That's what you told us on direct examination, right?
JA: That' right
JM: And after you went to work, you didn't tell us about anything that was in between there on direct examination, did you?
JA: Um, I don't know
JM: Do you have a problem with your memory, I mean this was approximately no more than two weeks away
JA: I don't think I had a problem
JM: But you don't remember things that happened two weeks, within two weeks, do you?
JA: Sometimes yes, sometimes no
JM: And in this case, you don't, right?
JA: Um, I don't remember if I gave you the details
JM: So the answer is either yes or no, do you remember
JA: Remember what?
JM: What are we talking about?
JA: We're talking about the incident
JM: Right, and what specifically of the incident are we talking about?
JA: I'm not sure
JM: So you're having trouble focusing on what's being asked of you today? Having memory problems?
JA: Yes
JM: So, when I asked you about what was going on with Mr. Juarez, you had no problem understanding about Mr. Juarez, right
JA: That's right
JM: And you had no problem understanding that we're talking about the time you and he went to thelibrary so that you could get onto the computer and look at the computer, right?
JA: That's right
JM: And during that time after you looked at the computer, you were going to go to work, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And on the way to work, you dropped of Mr. Juarez wherever it was you dropped him off, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And after you dropped him off, you, because of whatever reason decided to go back to that computer, right?
JA: That's right
JM: And what you're telling us, is that when you went to that computer, you hit backspace, right?
JA: Yes
JM: That's what you told us on direct examination, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And when you hit backspace you were able to access Bobby's hotmail account, right
JA: Yes
JM: Even though that's password protected, right?
JA: Only if you log out
JM: So if you don't log out you can get right back on, right
JA: as long as your not logged out, yes
JM: And so in this particular case, the security at the library is such that if they didn't log out anybody could have come in and looked at what's going on, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And in this case, that's what you're telling us happened, right?
JA: Yes, he did not log out
JM: And you didn't think of telling him to log out either, right?
JA: By that point I was on another computer
JM: Yes or no, yes or no
JA: No
JM: And with regard to the portion of the hotmail you were obviously looking at the hotmail account, the two of you together, right
JA: No
JM: Well if you need a password to get into the hotmail account and you say both of you were looking at this account
JA: I didn't say that
JM: Well didn't you tell us that you and he went onto this computer together?
JA: That's right
JM: And that you were there when he was looking at this computer, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And you're also telling us that you need a password to look at the hotmail account, right
JA: That's right
JM: So while you're sitting there and while he puts the password in for the hotmail account, he accesses or looks at his hotmail account in front of you, right?
JA: No
JM: Well I thought you were sitting next to him
JA:* I was at one point
JM:* And now youre not sitting next to him when he's looking at his hotmail account, right
JA: No, I went to my own computer to login to my email
JM:* So the answer is no you werent sitting next to him to look at his Hotmail account, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And you went over to another computer to look at at this point, right?
JA: Yes
JM:* How long were the both of you there at the library?
JA: I don't remember, but it wasn't too long
JM: And after that is when you dropped him off somewhere, right?
JA: Yes, at his friend's house
JM: And that's when you had this idea to go back and look at his computer, right?
JA: That's right
JM:* And, did you think of asking him what he was doing?
JA: I did ask him
JM:* And you werent satisfied with his responses, were you?
JA: that's right
JM: You were suspicious, right
JA: Very
JM: And so you were, at that point very direct about, or focused about what you were going to do, right?
JA: Yes
JM: You were going to go back to that library to see what was in that computer, right?
JA: Yes
JM: Even though that was not your account?
JA: Yes
JM:* You, in a sense, were snooping in someones mail, weren't you?
JA: I guess you could put it that way
JM: No, I want to know how you would put it?
JA: That's not how I would put it
JM: Ma'am is there any other way to put it other than you were looking at things that were not yours to look at?
JA:* I would put it a different way
JM: You would put, its not snooping, then even though that's not your accout
JA: That's not how I would put it
JM: I know that's not how you would put it, but that's what you were doing, right?
JA: It could be looked at that way
JM: Well, Im asking how you you would look at it, did you tell Bobby, hey, I'm going back to look in your account, you didn't do that, right
JA: No
JM: You didnt say to him and then when I go back to look at this account I'm gonna look to see if there are any letters between you and this woman, right
JA: No
JM: And in fact you didn't tell him if I find something, Im going to print those letters out, right?
JA: I didn't know him that
JM: Well, you didn't tell him that you, any of that before you went there, right
JA: No, I did not
JM: And you did all of this without his permission, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And so you go back and you tell us that you hit the backspace button and your there into his hotmail account, right?
JA: That's right
JM: So how much time passed between the time he was on there and you came back?
JA: Well it's Yreka, so not much time, he wasn't far
JM: Give me a time, it may be doesnt matter where you are, I just want to know how much time
JA: Between what and what again?
JM: What are we talking about, Ma'am?
JA: We're talking about the incident
JM: Right, a nd were talking about where you took him, right
JA: Yes
JM: And we're talking about you coming back, right?
JA: Okay
JM: And were also talking about the time he logged in initially, right?
JA: Okay
JM: And we're talking about how much time elapsed between the time he logged in and the time you came back and hit that backspace button.
JA: I don't know
JM: Could it have been an hour?
JA: No, it was not an hour, I almost had to be at work, like, right then
JM: What's that?
JA: I had to be at work almost right then, so it was only a matter of minutes
JM: So you decided to, so it's only a matter of minutes, your saying it's about five minutes then?
KN: Objection, mischaracterizes her testimony
Judge: restate your question.
JM: How many minutes?
JA: I dont know, I wasnt timing it.
JM: Did you, after that, Did you go to work and say hey, I'm not gonna come and do work or did you go back to the library
JA: At what point
JM: At the point that you decide to go back to the library
JA: I went to the library first before going to work
JM: I'm not asking you that, did you notify work, ma'am, that you were going to be late?
KN: Objection, relevance
Judge: Overruled
JA: I notified them afterward I did, I didn't notify them that I'd be late, I notified them that I wasn't coming in that day.
JM: In other words you didnt even have the courtesy to tell them that you weren't going to come in until after this computer issue was
KN: Objection argumentative, relevance
JM: presented
Judge: Sustained
JM: So you didn't tell them that you weren't going to work until after the this computer issue, right?
KN: Objection, argumentative and relevance. He restated the same question.
Judge: Overruled
JA: After the computer, is that what you asked?
JM: Yes
JA: Yes, I was too upset
JM: And how long, did I ask ou if you were upset?
JA: mm mmm,
JM: Is that no?
JA: no
JM: So did you then go to the computer and you started looking at it, right, you hit the backspace button, right?
JA: Yes
JM: Did it take you directly to his correspondence?
JA: Yes
JM: And you started reading things, right
JA: Yes
JM: What was the name of this woman?
JA: I don't remember
JM: And you did print out some of the letters, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And you believed they were inappropriate, right?
JA: Yes
JM: And they were inappropriate, they weren't of a sexual nature, were they
JA: Umm, no
JM: They were just sortof friendly kind of letters, right
JA: They were beyond friendly
JM: Well, they weren't sexual, though, right
JA: No
JM: And they didn't indicate that they had met recently, or anything like that, right?
JA: They had never met before
JM: And they had never had any sort of , I don't know, physical contact the point is they hadnt met before, correct?
JA: Not by that point
JM: They hadnt before at the point that you are looking at these letters, right?
KN: objection argumentative
JA: Yes, not by that pont.
Judge: overruled
JM: And you then, however, decided that there was a problem, that he was cheating on you, right
JA: Yes
JM: And that sort of validated what youd been feeling, right
JA: Yes, very much
JM: And so you decided to do something about it right then and there, right?
JA: Yes
JM: You didnt go into work, right?
JA: Umm, I did not
JM: You did notify them them that you were not going to go into work that day, that's what you told us, right?
JA: Yes I did
JM: Where were you working?
JA: I think I was working at the Purple Plum
JM: And then you went to where Mr. Juarez was and you started to talk to him about these letter, right?
JA: First I printed them, then I went there with them
JM: You did go to talk to Mr.* Juarez, correct?
JA: Yes
JM: And you had these letters and you confront him with them, with the letters, right?
JA: Yes
JM: Ma'am, in your personal life, not in your professional life, but in your personal life, youre very direct when you feel youve been aggrieved aren't you?
KN: Objection, argumentative
Judge: Overruled
JA: It depends on how comfortable I am with the person.
JM: Well, you were comfortable enough to immediately confront Bobby, right?
JA: Absolutely
JM: Because you had a relationship, right?
JA: Yes
JM: You didn't waste any time going right to him and saying, look,I have these letters and they're a problem for me, right?
JA: I didn't say that
JM: You didnt go to him, you didn't go to him with these letters?
JA: I did but I didn't say what you said
JM: Well, so you told him you were okay with the letters, then, right?
JA: I didnt say that either
JM: Well, you let him know that you had a problem with those letters, didn't you?
JA: I didn't say anything I handed them to him and cried and he read them
JM: So you went in there, you gave him the letters and you started to cry, right
JA: Yeah
JM: But that was after you had not gone into work, after you had sort of gone into his computer, his personal items and then immediately within minutes, cause Yrekas really small according to you, you were there confronting him, right?
JA: I guess you could say confrontation
JM: No, I don't want you tosay, I don't want you to guess on anything. You were there showing him these letters, I don't know if you were saying a word or not, you were there, right?
JA: Define showing, I just handed them to him
JM: Okay, showing, giving someone the letters doesnt mean showing them to you?
JA: They were folded up
JM: Giving someone the letters doesn't mean showing them to you, that person?
JA: It could
JM: It could, well you were there, if you gave him the letters your intent was to have him look at them, right?
JA: Yes
JM: So when you gave them to him, you showed him the letters, right?
JA: He reviewed them
JM: Ma'am did you show him the letters?
KN: Objection asked and answered
Judge: Sustained
JM: After you gave him the letters, he began to read them?
JA: Yes
JM: And you were standing there, right
JA: Yes
JM: And you did not waste, in other words, you immediately went to see him, there wasnt anything intervening other than going to work and letting them know that you were not going to come into to work, right?
JA: Actually thats not right, I did go home and get all my things and move it out
JM: So you were even more assertive you were not gonna put up with any of this you put the stuff that you had at his house and then you moved out, right?
JA: Yes
JM: That's assertive isn't it, even at the age of 17 or 18, isn't it
KN: Objection, argumentative
Judge: sustained
JM: you didn't waste any time at that tender age, did you
JA: No, I'd never been cheated on before
JM: Ma'am, did I ask you if you've been cheated on before?
JA: No
JM: Im asking you whether or not at that moment you made that decision and you moved out, right?
JA: Yes
JM: you weren't gonna put up with it, right?
JA: No
JM: And then you went to talk to him about it, right?
JA: Yes
JM : And then you guys broke up about it, over it
JA: We actually didn't
JM: You stayed with him
JA: Yes
JM: Even though you felt that you had been cheated on, you decided to stay
JA: After some talking
JM: The answer is yes or not, did you decide to stay
JA: Eventually, yes
JM: Eventually means ah there was something that happened in between and you're telling us that you talked about it right?
JA: mmm hmm
JM: Is that yes
JA: That's yes
JM: Where did you go with your stuff, where did you actually spend the night that night after you took your stuff and put it in the car?
JA:* my grandmothers
JM:* And how long did you stay there?
JA:* I dont remember, it wasnt too long
*JM:* Was it days, was it hours?
JA:* Probably a few days
JM:* So after a few days, you decided to get back with Bobby, right?
JA:* Yes
JM:* And that was your decision, right?
JA:* To get back with him
JM:* Yes
JM:* That was after talking to him, right?
JA:* Yes
JM:* Whatever it was that he said, and whatever thoughts you were thinking, you felt comfortable enough to go back, right?
JA:* Yes
JM:* Additionally, do you remember when we talked about Matthew McCartney?
JA:* Yes
JM:* You sort of did the same thing with regard to him, didnt you?
JA: In what way
JM:* In the way we are talking about
JA:* Be more specific
JM:* Okay, you had a feeling, you remember, after looking at a photograph?
JA:* Yes
JM:* And based on that feeling, you drove to Crater Lake, right?
JA:* No
JM:* Where did you drive to maam?
JA:* I drove to Crater Lake, but not based on a feeling.
JM:* Well, you saw a photograph with a little B on it, right
JA:* yes
JM:* And you believed something was going on, right?
JA:* Not at that point
JM:* Well at some point you did go to Crater lake what is it that you learned that allowed you to go to Crater Lake, right?
JA:* Um, two of his co-workers told me that he was with a girl named Bianca
JM:* You were at work, right?
KN:* Objection let her answer the questions
Judge:* give your response
JA:* A couple was, came into my work and they told me they wanted to tell me something and it was about Bianca
JM:* And so you saw the photograph, you heard this, and you immediately left work, right?
JA:* I went home early, yes
JM:* But you immediately left work isnt that what I asked you?
JA:* No, I had to do some side work before I left
JM:* How much time elapsed between the time that you heard about this and the side work?
JA:* Probably five to10 minutes
JM:* And so then after the five to ten minutes, you left because you were going to go take care of this issue by speaking with Bianca, right?
JA:* First I drove to Ashland
JM:* Did I ask you where you went?
JA:* Yes
JM:* No, I asked you whether or not you confront, went to speak with Bianca.* Did you speak to her that day?
JA:* Yes
JM:* Did you tell us that you drove an hour and a half
JA:* I believe it was about that long
JM:* And so you werent going to put up with that, were you?
JA:* Put up with what?
JM:* Well, what is it that were talking about here
JA:* Which part put up with?
JM:* Were you gonna put up with what we just talked about, are you having problems understanding again whats going on?
JA:* Sometimes, you go in circles
JM:* Maam, Im asking you, Did you have any problem knowing that we were talking about Matthew McCartney?
JA:* No
JM:* Did you have any problem that we were discussing Bianca?
JA:* No
JM:* Did you have any problem after you told us that you were at work, right?
JA:* Did I have any problem?
JM:* Understanding that
JA:* No
JM:* Did you have any problems understanding that after five or ten minutes you left, right?
JA:* Thats right
JM:* And then after five or ten minutes, you went, drove an hour and a half to speak with Bianca, right?
JA:* No
JM:* What did you do in between?
JA:* I drove about 15 miles south to my home in Ashland changed out of my stinky work clothes, and just threw on some jeans and a t-shirt and hit the road.
JM:* Other than your stop at your house to change clothing, you did go straight to talk to Bianca, right
JA:* Yes
JM:* Because you, whenever you feel that somethings not right,* thats your personality it appear, you are going to confront that person, right?
JA:* Not necessarily
JM:* Pardon, not necessarily, well the two occasions that we know of with the two boyfriends, isnt that what youve done?
JA:* Um, yes
