Day Three: Rivera asked Flaco to leave house shortly before Valentine's Day 2007

Defense brings up the conversations Rivera had with Flaco about Officer Lindsey hassling him.

Defense asks if Rivera is familiar with a Mario Sierra. Rivera says he knows someone named Mario, but isn't sure. Defense says Sierra was arrested for a drug case by Officer Lindsey.

It was shortly before Valentine's Day 2007, Rivera says, when he asked Flaco to leave the house Rivera shared with Diaz. Rivera says he found out after his falling out with Flaco, he found out there was a warrant out of Syracuse for Flaco's arrest. Rivera says he found this out from someone else, not from Flaco.

Rivera says he was never present when Flaco and Officer Lindsey were together in the same vicinity before that night, and can not say for sure whether Officer Lindsey was, in fact, hassling Flaco as he claimed.
