D.D.A. Emma Rios:
That's the call the people's witness described making to the authorities. The call that helped the LAPD find and unearth four murdered girls buried in Griffith Park. The call that led this young man to be detained by the police to be attacked by Phillip Stroh, to be threatened at the defendants instigation, from giving his testimony here...

Linda Rothman:
Objection! Your Honor, the prosecution can present no evidence that my client attempted to intimidate Russell in any way.

D.D.A. Emma Rios:
Your Honor, we have almost 30 threatening letters sent to...

Linda Rothman:
The authenticity of those letters is doubtful at best.

D.D.A. Emma Rios:
Doubtful? Doubtful? That's not what you were saying three hours ago!

Judge Grove:
Hold on, ladies! Hold on. I don't allow cross-talk in this courtroom. You'll address me, not each other. First... what are these threatening letters?

D.D.A. Emma Rios:
Your Honor, both this boy and his guardian Captain Raydor, received menacing letters suggesting terrible things would happen... if they continued to assist the prosecution. The people intend to link those letters...

Judge Grove:
What you intend to do and what you can prove today are two different things. Neither the prosecution, nor the witness may enter these letters into the record during the hearing if Ms. Rothman objects.
