Day Three: Rivera never previously testified about seeing Flaco April 12 before the shooting

Rivera says that at his felony hearing and at his grand jury testimony, that he did NOT mention seeing Flaco at the Cornhill Market and the black Monte Carlo.

Defense says it was Rivera's testimony that he got a very close look of the gun. Rivera says he does not know what kind of gun it was, that he doesn't like guns. Defense asks if Rivera recalls telling McNamara about the gun in front of a grand jury.

"It's a clip gun, not a revolver," Rivera said then.

"Are you sure," McNamara asked.

"Yes," Rivera said in grand jury.

Defense asks if Rivera received any kind of replacement car. Rivera says no. Defense asks if he asked for anything in exchange for testimony in this case. Rivera says no. Defense says Rivera's drug charges were dismissed. Defense asks if Rivera mentioned anything about his license while talking with the prosecution. Rivera said getting a license, a car, and a job would help him get his life straightened out. Rivera then says that hasn't happened yet.
