Day Six of Testimony: May 14th Interview of Defendant

Investigator Serrano addresses May 14th, 2007 interview of Wesley Molina Cirino by police in Onondaga County. The prosecution plays the dvd. It's in color and appears to be being recorded from a camera up in the corner of the room. The defendant is in a chair at a big brown table . Investigator Serrano begins by asking the defendant if he's "boricua", meaning Puerto Rican. Serrano tells him he is, too. There is some laughing and joking on the part of everyone in the room.

Prosecution asks Serrano if he asked Molina Cirino how he knew who committed this crime and asks for a certain segment of the dvd to be played. There is closed captioning at the bottom of the screen for the jury but it is too small for courtroom observers to see.

Serrano says that Molina Cirino told him in the interview that "Indio" is his source of information about the night Officer Lindsey was killed. Indio, we heard earlier, is Sammy Rivera's uncle. Rivera is the man Officer Lindsey pulled over minutes before he was shot and killed.

Prosecution asks Investigator to identify where everyone in the interview room is sitting and Serrano does this by pointing to the screen. Serrano is sitting across from the defendant.
