Day Three: Rivera recalls travels on April 12

Defense decides to change the subject and goes back to April 12, saying they are confused about part of Rivera's story.

Rivera again replies that he considers Diaz' son, Luis as his own, and that Luis was with him the whole time that evening.

Defense brings up the number of stops he made that evening, and asks if he told Diaz where he was headed. He says it was never talked about, and after church, again tells that he went to find "Spider," who was not home.

Judge tells Rivera to listen to the question.

Rivera says he dropped Diaz at church, and was going to meet up with her brother-in-law. Defense asks "She had no idea you'd be driving around, buying and dealing drugs, did she?"

"No, ma'am," Rivera replies.

When Rivera went to see Spider, Rivera says he took Luis out of the car seat and took him with him. Rivera says Spider was supposed to be at home - a house where Rivera sometimes would go to sell drugs in the bathroom.

Rivera reiterates that Luis was awake when he went to visit his friend Alacon, and when Rivera went to the Cornhill Market to see his friend Chubby. Rivera says he was in the Cornhill about 40 minutes when his friend Alacon walked in. Rivera says this was just coincidence that they were in the same place at the same time.

Rivera says it was then that he walked out of the Cornhill Market when he saw a black Monte Carlo parked outside, and Flaco running into the car.

Rivera says that after this he drove Alacon home, and then received a call from Gotti, who wanted 3 1/2 grams of crack-cocaine, otherwise known as "An 8-Ball." Rivera said he drove to Seymour Ave where he meets with Jay, going to the second floor of the house, baby in hand.

Rivera says he then drove to Spider's, where he met Gotti in the bathroom, Baby Luis playing in the living room with Spider's daughters as he dealt the drugs to Gotti. Rivera puts this time around a little after 8 p.m., possibly 8:15 p.m. at night.

Rivera says he then went to Seymour Ave to pay Jay for the drugs he provided, and kept some crack-cocaine for himself. The plan, Rivera says, was to pick up Chubby at 8:30 p.m. Chubby was waiting outside the Cornhill Market when Chubby was picked up.

At Court and Lenox Streets, a 10 minute drive, Rivera estimates, he dropped Chubby off at a store. Rivera went into the store with the baby, and at the store spent about 10-15 minutes.

Rivera says he then stopped at Spider's house to get two bags of marijuana. Rivera says he got out of the car and went into Spider's house, with baby Luis, as he says he wouldn't leave the baby alone in the car.

Rivera says it took about 5 minutes to purchase the marijuana at Spider's.

Rivera says it was after this he went to Neilson when he was stopped for running through the stop sign.
