#RoyOliver - Prosecutor @dantonilaw takes the stand. He will testify about a time in 2013 when Oliver was testifying in a case and he was "uncooperative".

#RoyOliver - D'Antoni describes Oliver's demeanor as "hostile". Oliver was supposed to testify in a trial that D'Antoni was prosecuting. He says Oliver didn't want to be there, had just worked the night shift.
