[00:02:52] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:02:53] Speaker 1: You lied to Sachi Manali, that professional journalist who recorded your interview for the whole Nepali community. [00:03:11] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:03:12] Speaker 1: So the whole world now knows you're a liar in the United States, Nepal, and in this courtroom. [00:03:21] Speaker 3: I don't know that. [00:03:28] Speaker 1: Let's think about it. Did you talk to Sachi Manali? [00:03:33] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:03:34] Speaker 1: And she broadcasted your interview to the entire country of Nepal? [00:03:43] Speaker 2: I don't know. [00:03:44] Speaker 1: When you talked to Sachi Manali, who did you think you were talking to? [00:03:49] Speaker 2: At that time? [00:03:53] Speaker 1: At any time. [00:03:55] Speaker 2: I talked only one time. [00:03:57] Speaker 1: And she was broadcasting your lies live, correct? This was a live interview. [00:04:03] Speaker 3: I'll move on. [00:04:16] Speaker 1: You lied to Sachi, correct? [00:04:19] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:04:26] Speaker 1: You also lied to Nadia Navarro. [00:04:33] Speaker 2: I don't remember to speak to her at all. [00:04:39] Speaker 1: Didn't you try to talk to Nadia at your baby's first birthday? You wanted to tell her something? [00:04:53] Speaker 2: I don't remember that. [00:04:54] Speaker 1: Do you remember her saying that you tried to talk to her, but she did not feel comfortable with you? She didn't want to talk to you? Do you remember that? [00:05:04] Speaker 3: I remember only at this courtroom. [00:05:15] Speaker 2: That's what she said. Yes. [00:05:16] Speaker 1: Right. Do you think she was lying when she testified in this courtroom? [00:05:20] Speaker 2: I don't know about her, but I don't remember that day I want to talk to her or not. I don't remember that. [00:05:32] Speaker 1: Your old Wickersham tenant, Pitambar Mukia. You lied to him too, correct? [00:05:49] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:05:53] Speaker 1: You lied to Amanda, your babysitter, correct? [00:06:00] Speaker 2: No. [00:06:11] Speaker 1: You just didn't tell her the truth about what you did to your wife, correct? [00:06:15] Speaker 3: You held back that fact, right? [00:06:19] Speaker 2: I do not remember talking to Amanda about anything other than taking care of baby. I don't remember. I don't think I just spoke on a message, that's all. [00:06:32] Speaker 1: But you also came and picked up Nima from her apartment. Yes. Do you remember walking inside of her apartment and looking out the window? [00:06:43] Speaker 2: I went to inside with taking my shoes off, but not outside the window. I was looking at the Nima's place. [00:06:58] Speaker 1: So when Amanda said that she sees you acting weird inside of her apartment, looking out the window, you're saying that didn't happen? [00:07:05] Speaker 2: That might happen, but I'm not saying that did not happen, but I did not do that looking at the window or something. But I went there, maybe she saw I'm behaving weird, but I don't remember that. [00:07:17] Speaker 1: You do or you don't remember acting weird when you went into her apartment? [00:07:21] Speaker 2: I don't remember if she saw me that, but I don't believe I did that. But I don't remember. If I did that, I don't remember. [00:07:28] Speaker 1: And you certainly heard her say that, right? [00:07:30] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:07:31] Speaker 1: And she has no motive to lie, correct? [00:07:33] Speaker 2: I don't know that. [00:07:34] Speaker 1: She has no interest in the outcome of this trial, correct? [00:07:41] Speaker 3: I don't know. [00:07:45] Speaker 1: You have an interest in the outcome of this trial, correct? [00:07:53] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:07:53] Speaker 1: You have a lot on the line. Would you agree with me on that? You, sir, have a lot on the line right now. [00:08:03] Speaker 3: You could go to prison if the jury finds you guilty, correct? Correct. So you have to convince 12 people that you didn't do this, right? [00:08:26] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:08:36] Speaker 1: Your friend, Ashish Sangrola, you lied to him as well, correct? [00:08:42] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:08:44] Speaker 1: Krishna Joshi, you lied to him as well? [00:08:49] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:08:50] Speaker 1: Deepo Oli, you lied to her? [00:08:53] Speaker 2: I don't remember to talk to her at all.

[00:09:11] Speaker 1: You don't remember. [00:09:12] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:09:13] Speaker 1: Do you think they were lying, though? [00:09:15] Speaker 2: I don't think that way. [00:09:17] Speaker 1: You think they were telling the truth? [00:09:18] Speaker 2: I never say that. [00:09:19] Speaker 1: Here's a question for you. Do you think anybody from the Commonwealth's witnesses has lied against you? [00:09:25] Speaker 3: Do you think any of our witnesses have lied against you in court? [00:09:44] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:09:45] Speaker 1: Who? [00:09:50] Speaker 2: There are four or five. [00:09:52] Speaker 1: Tell me one. [00:09:53] Speaker 2: The police officer. [00:09:57] Speaker 1: Which one?
