Day Four:Jose "can't remember"

Jose Cirino is cross-examined by the defense and asked if he remembers ever telling police that after going to 1309 Neilson Street that he and Flaco played video games for the next few hours. Jose says he "can't remember."

Defense asks if he remembers talking to a Spanish-speaking member of the UPD, giving a statement. Jose says yes. Defense asks if when coming back to Utica from Puerto Rico and while talking to officers, if he went to his cousin, Alacron's first. Jose says yes.

Defense asks again if he remembers telling officers that he was playing playstation with Flaco. Jose says he can't remember, but belives he told the officer that he and Flaco were playing what Jose's translator says is "San Andrea Liberty City Stories."

Defense then asks if Jose said Sammy came to Wanda's house on April 12 while he and Flaco played video games. Jose says he didn't hear the question well. His translator says it again.

"Did Sammy Rivera come to 1309 Neilson Street on April 12th?" Defense asks. Jose says that when he walked outside of Wanda's house he saw Sammy Rivera outside in his car, with a child in the car, and that the child was awake.

Jose says he waved to the baby, and had a conversation with a baby. Defense asks if it was about getting something to eat.
