Naresh Bhatt says he was afraid to call 911 to save Mamta Kafle Bhatt — Full testimony part 11

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Next. [00:00:02] Speaker 2: I was tired, tried to keep trying doing, keep tired, keep thinking. I don't know exactly every moment, what moment by moment what I did. I was trying to do the same medical intervention. [00:00:21] Speaker 1: Let's get into your emotional state. You keep saying that you felt scared to call 911. Why? [00:00:35] Speaker 2: Because I was thinking not initially. Initially, I was just 100% focusing on what I know, the medical intervention. Later, I feel like I'm going to get blamed because of our relationship wasn't good. And then that day before, I was about to move out for another place. I scared about that I'm going to get the blame. That's what I scared about everything. [00:01:00] Speaker 1: And here you are today. [00:01:01] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:01:02] Speaker 1: Being blamed by the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, correct? [00:01:04] Speaker 2: Yes. At that time, I don't think about. [00:01:12] Speaker 1: Your fear of being accused of murder was stronger than your feeling to save her life? You're fear of being prosecuted for murder. We'll take it in pieces. Your fear of being prosecuted was stronger than your feelings to save Mamta. [00:01:37] Speaker 3: No, it's not like that. By the time I found her, Mamta was dead. [00:01:41] Speaker ?: Yeah. She has gone. [00:01:44] Speaker 2: She has already gone. Sorry. Have you heard the expression consciousness of guilt? [00:01:50] Speaker 3: Can you repeat that? Did you feel guilty for her death? [00:01:52] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:01:53] Speaker 1: Did you feel responsible for her death? Yes. [00:02:03] Speaker ?: Yes. [00:02:03] Speaker 1: You are a contributor to her death, correct? Yes. [00:02:06] Speaker ?: Yes. [00:02:06] Speaker 1: Can you repeat that? Did you feel guilty for her death? Yes. Did you feel responsible for her death? Yes. You are a contributor to her death, correct? Yes. You never saw Mamta put poison in her food, correct? No. And on July 29th, only two people could have put poison in Mamta. Would you agree with me on that? Yes. It was either Mamta poisoned herself. Agree with me on that? Yes. Or the more obvious one, you poisoned her. Yes. And you're saying you did not poison her? [00:03:25] Speaker 2: Never. Never? Never. [00:03:27] Speaker 1: Never. You would never hurt her? Never. Not even withdrawn? Again, and I want to be crystal clear. You have never hurt Mamta ever physically? Never. You're telling the truth on that one? Yes. [00:03:55] Speaker 2: You recall watching your interview with Detective Ventura when she came to your house? She came a couple times. [00:04:06] Speaker 1: Yes. Female detective. She asked you about this plate smashing incident? You remember this? [00:04:15] Speaker ?: Yes. [00:04:15] Speaker 1: You hurt Mamta that day, right? That wasn't hurt. It didn't hurt? No. Did Mamta say when you smashed the plate in her face it didn't hurt? [00:04:36] Speaker 2: That wasn't hurt. That was not hurt. That was no intention, no hurt. That wasn't anything. [00:04:41] Speaker 1: Sir, did you watch the video? You did? Okay. Tell me if I'm doing what you did correctly. You took the plate and you smashed it into her face. [00:04:54] Speaker 2: No. [00:04:55] Speaker 1: You didn't do that? [00:04:56] Speaker 2: That wasn't like even you look interview again, like that wasn't the, I was saying like Mamta fall down with the wire and then that comes in my head. I push like this, that goes to Mamta's head. That's what I said. That's what happened. [00:05:11] Speaker 1: I mean we saw it on the video, but for the members of the jury, could you stand up and show us how you did this thing with this plate? It was a small kitchen. This was in your Heather courthouse? No. This was in the Wickersham? That is right. Okay. You're in the Wickersham apartment. Continue. [00:05:37] Speaker 2: The kitchen was on the back right here. It was a little bit hot days. Kitchen all the way back. Little aisle here. And then small table here. Dining table small here. And then small black can was on the bottom. There was a wire. And then she was bringing some food from there to here. I was on one of the chairs. I was doing something. I don't recall every detail. All right. So see. All you know. All you know. All you know. So you trip. Yes. That's what happened. And then that plate come to my ear and then I just push that goes to Monta and then I just stand up and then I go outside. [00:06:21] Speaker 1: All right. All right. Maapta is coming in with a plate of rice. Plate of food. Yes. You know. Yes. According to you. She trips. On the on the pan wire. Yes. Trips. The plate falls. It hits you in the head. [00:06:40] Speaker 2: I did not say hits on the head. It fell near my head. It fell near your head. Near. Near. Near. Near. Near means in my head. All right. So the plate hit you on the head. [00:06:53] Speaker 1: No, she didn't throw it. That's not my question. Let me let me rephrase it because maybe we're not understanding each other. Okay. Mom the trips. The plate falls out of her hand. Yes. The plate. Yes. Touches your head. Yes. Okay. When the plate touches your head. What do you do? No. So meaning like you pick up the plate? No. Just pushing back. And then the plate hits Maapta? Maapta's on the top hit. And according to you, this did not hurt Maapta? No. When you put the plate back towards her? No. You're saying you are not hitting her at this time? No. [00:07:46] Speaker 4: No. Thank you. Mr. Sweet, we're going to need to take our 10 minute break. Yes. It's a good time for that. Yes. Okay. Let's go ahead and do that then. [00:07:59] Speaker 2: All right. Ready. Let's go ahead Mr. Sweet. Welcome back. Thank you. [00:08:13] Speaker ?: Thank you. Thank you. All right. All right. Ready. Let's go ahead Mr. Sweet. [00:08:19] Speaker 4: Welcome back. [00:08:20] Speaker ?: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to step back a little bit and then we will launch forward with some more. You told us you never ever put your hands on Mamta, correct? Yes. Never. No domestic violence at all. Yes. You heard through testimony that Mamta is telling other people something different, right? Yes. Why is Mamta saying that you are abusing her? I don't know. Could it be because you are or you were? [00:09:23] Speaker 2: I don't know. The rice feeding ceremony that was December of 2023, right? Somewhere. I don't recall the exact date. Somewhere November end or December beginning somewhere. I don't know. [00:09:43] Speaker 1: And you said that date got changed. Yes. Why? [00:09:50] Speaker 2: Because Mamta has some injury. Yeah. Where? On the basement. Not the basement. Middle floor. [00:09:57] Speaker 1: And how did she get this injury? [00:10:00] Speaker 2: As per her, she fell down the stairs, last stairs with the jacket, something like that. [00:10:05] Speaker 1: She told you. Yes. That she fell down the stairs. Yes. This was in December of 2023. [00:10:12] Speaker 2: I don't know exactly in December or somewhere. It was like first date, uh, before first date of, uh, rice feeding ceremony. [00:10:22] Speaker 1: I'm going to show you what I'm having marked for identification as 455. [00:10:33] Speaker 4: Of course you may. [00:10:41] Speaker 1: Recognize that photograph? Yes. What is that a photograph of? [00:10:47] Speaker 2: Mamta. [00:10:50] Speaker 1: Is this a communication Mamta was making to you? Mamta's communicating with you on December 11th, 2023, correct? [00:11:24] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:11:27] Speaker 1: Are these true and accurate depictions of what Mamta looked like on December 11th, 2023? [00:11:36] Speaker 2: I don't know the date. Yes, she's Mamta. [00:11:39] Speaker 1: But is this what she looked like in December of 2023? [00:11:46] Speaker 2: I don't know that. [00:11:48] Speaker 1: You said she had an injury? [00:11:50] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:11:50] Speaker 1: Where? [00:11:51] Speaker 2: Uh, she has like somewhere, I forgot which side, somewhere right side or left side, somewhere here. [00:11:58] Speaker 1: On her face? She had an injury? Yes. Yes. And she sent you a photograph of the injury to her face? [00:12:04] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:12:05] Speaker 1: This is the photo of her injury to her face? [00:12:07] Speaker 2: Similar, but exactly. I don't recall. Similar photo. Yes. [00:12:10] Speaker 1: And so this is a true and accurate depiction of what Mamta looked like in December of 2023, correct? [00:12:16] Speaker 2: Yes. Yes. [00:12:17] Speaker 1: I offer this in withdrawal. One more question. This is a screenshot that Mamta has taken from her device, correct? [00:12:27] Speaker 2: I don't know that. [00:12:28] Speaker 1: Well, you're the IT guy. Take a look at the exhibit. [00:12:33] Speaker 2: IT guy doesn't mean I'm IT for the Facebook or something like that. [00:12:36] Speaker 1: Sure, but this is a screenshot, correct? [00:12:40] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:12:40] Speaker 1: And this is a screenshot to you, Naresh Bhatt? [00:12:45] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:12:46] Speaker 1: That's a true and accurate screenshot that Mamta sent to you in December of 2023, correct? [00:12:52] Speaker 2: No. She did not send me this screenshot. She sent me the picture. As far as I remember, she sent me the real picture, not the screenshot. [00:13:06] Speaker 1: She sent you the picture? [00:13:07] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:13:07] Speaker 1: Okay, but is this a true and accurate depiction of what Mamta looked like in December of 2023? [00:13:13] Speaker 2: Mamta looked like, but I don't know about this screenshot. Mamta looked like, yes. [00:13:17] Speaker 1: Got it. So, with that foundation, I'll offer this entire document into evidence as Commonwealth's 455. 455? 455, yes. [00:13:29] Speaker 4: Okay. Any objection? Judge, I have no objection. All right. Without objection, that'll be received. [00:13:38] Speaker 3: I'm sorry, what was the number? 455. 455. For Mr. Pollock. [00:13:51] Speaker 4: Of course. [00:14:04] Speaker 1: Mr. Pollock, you see what's being published for the jury right now? That's blood on Mamta's hand, correct? Yes. And that's blood in her nose, correct? [00:14:22] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:14:23] Speaker 1: And that's a bruise under her right eye, correct? [00:14:28] Speaker 2: Looks like yes. [00:14:33] Speaker 1: He also sent you a video on top of this photograph, correct? [00:14:47] Speaker 2: I do not exactly recall. She sent me yes. [00:14:54] Speaker 1: What does that say right underneath that video? [00:14:58] Speaker 2: This is second time. [00:15:00] Speaker 1: What does that mean to you, sir? [00:15:03] Speaker 2: Whatever she's sending is not first, it's second time. That's what she's saying. [00:15:08] Speaker 1: Meaning this is the second time you've injured her, correct? [00:15:12] Speaker 2: No. [00:15:13] Speaker 1: So, this is the second time that she sent you these photographs of herself? [00:15:17] Speaker 2: I did not injure. I did not, even like when this happened, even I wasn't in the ground floor. I was on the upstairs floor. [00:15:24] Speaker 1: I know you're saying you were somewhere else, but she's saying this is the second time you caused this injury, correct? [00:15:31] Speaker 2: That is the, this word saying yes. [00:15:34] Speaker 1: And as soon as she says to you, this is the second time, you don't ask, how you doing? Are you okay? You're saying to her, I'll sign the divorce papers. [00:15:44] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:15:47] Speaker 1: Why are you trying to divorce her when she sends you photographs of her abuse to her face? [00:15:53] Speaker 2: I did not abuse. She falls somewhere. [00:15:56] Speaker 1: That's not my question. [00:15:57] Speaker 2: Okay. [00:15:58] Speaker 1: My question is. [00:15:59] Speaker 4: He's asked the question with words. He's trying to respond. You have to let him respond. [00:16:06] Speaker 1: Sorry, Judge. This is the second time. Your response to her is, I can sign divorce papers, correct? Did I read it right? [00:16:22] Speaker 2: You read it right. [00:16:24] Speaker 1: Read the next line after you say, I can sign divorce papers. [00:16:28] Speaker 2: I don't want this. [00:16:32] Speaker 1: What does that mean? [00:16:35] Speaker 2: I don't want like whatever, like on the picture. I don't want this. [00:16:39] Speaker 1: Meaning you don't want to see these photos anymore? [00:16:42] Speaker 2: No. Because what she happens, she tried to tell me like I have done it because I wasn't, I wasn't even there. So that's, I'm not responsible for that. [00:16:56] Speaker 1: I'm going to hand you a photograph, mark it as 456 for identification. Tell me if you recognize this photograph. [00:17:10] Speaker 2: The larger form of this photo, I guess. [00:17:12] Speaker 1: And that's what Mamta looked like in 2023? In December of 2023? When you said look like, what do you mean? That's, all right. In 2023, this is a photo of what Mamta looked like at that time, correct? [00:17:32] Speaker 2: I did not see her at that time. When she was taking picture and then sending me, I don't see her at all at that time. I was upstairs, she was downstairs. [00:17:43] Speaker 1: Let's try this. I'm publishing, I'm publishing 455. I have before you another document, 456, right? [00:18:04] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:18:06] Speaker 1: 456 is just a clearer, bigger image of what's in front of you right now? Yes. I offer this into evidence as commonwealths 456. [00:18:18] Speaker 4: No objection. All right, without objection, that will be received. [00:18:21] Speaker 1: Commissioner to publish. [00:18:22] Speaker 4: You may. [00:18:22] Speaker ?: Thank you. [00:18:45] Speaker 1: This is a better image than the screenshot she sent to you, correct? [00:18:56] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:18:57] Speaker 1: Again, it's even clearer that she has blood on her hands, correct? [00:19:03] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:19:04] Speaker 1: And her nose. [00:19:05] Speaker 2: Yes. [00:19:06] Speaker 1: And a bruise to her right eye. [00:19:08] Speaker 2: Looks like yes. [00:19:10] Speaker 1: You're saying you did not do this to her? [00:19:13] Speaker 2: If I have to, like, why does she have to send the picture to me? I wasn't there. [00:19:17] Speaker 1: As proof of domestic violence. [00:19:22] Speaker 2: It's not right. It's not right. [00:19:24] Speaker 1: It's not right. No, picture is right. Momta's lying. [00:19:26] Speaker 2: Picture is right. But, like, I did is not right. I never touched, uh, uh, at all in my whole life. Never. So, you... Not only Momta, not any family member, not at all. [00:19:37] Speaker 1: The only time you touched Momta is when you chopped her up? [00:19:41] Speaker 2: That was after Momta left. [00:19:43] Speaker 1: The only time you touched Momta is when you're stuffing her into a trash can? That's the only times you touched her? [00:19:50] Speaker 2: I touched means, like, physically touched means, like, it's whole life we touched. That doesn't mean, like, I beat her or, you know, something like that. [00:19:58] Speaker 1: Then what's this photograph? [00:20:01] Speaker 2: Doesn't mean necessarily I beat her. [00:20:04] Speaker 1: Isn't this Momta saying to you and to all of us, you did this to her? [00:20:09] Speaker 2: I did not. [00:20:09] Speaker 1: She also shared it with her family? Is she misleading them to think that you're some horrific monster? [00:20:24] Speaker 2: No. No. [00:20:41] Speaker 1: I'm going to approach the witness with two additional photographs. Have them marked as 457 and 458. Copies being provided. Approach. You may. Recognize these photographs? Yes. What are they photographs of? [00:21:47] Speaker 2: Monta. [00:21:49] Speaker 1: This is what Momta looked like in December of 2023? [00:21:54] Speaker 2: Somewheres, at some point. [00:21:57] Speaker 1: And these are true and accurate depictions of what she looked like in December of 2023, correct? [00:22:04] Speaker 2: Looks like, yes. [00:22:05] Speaker 1: All of these in evidence is Commonwealth's 456. [00:22:08] Speaker 4: You already have 457. [00:22:09] Speaker 1: Sorry, 457 and 458. Sorry, Judge. Any objection? One moment. [00:22:13] Speaker 4: Wait. There's not a question. Any objection? I object because I think he wants to qualify something about those photographs. Well, I need a question for him to qualify. [00:22:24] Speaker 1: I could step it back. Let's have Mr. Bach qualify the photograph. [00:22:28] Speaker 2: I don't believe this is at my home. [00:22:31] Speaker 1: Okay. [00:22:32] Speaker 2: Because I see the cows on the back, but I don't know where she take the picture, but look like the cows. We have a leather cows. These are different cows. I don't know where it is. [00:22:41] Speaker 1: But as far as like Momta's face, that's what she looked like in December of 2023? [00:22:45] Speaker 2: Looked like a little different, but like similar, but not the same. [00:22:50] Speaker 1: So other than where she took the photo, that's Momta, that's what she looked like in December of 2023? [00:22:56] Speaker 2: Yes. I don't know where she took the photo, and then I see the background. That's not look like, you know, we don't have any type of these type of furniture at home. [00:23:04] Speaker 1: I hope this is in evidence as 457, 458. [00:23:07] Speaker 4: I don't have an objection. All right. Without objection, those are received. Publishment. You may. [00:23:11] Speaker ?: You may. [00:23:20] Speaker 1: What's happening to your wife's right eye? [00:23:34] Speaker 3: There is a redness underneath the eye. It's a bruise, right? Bruise, yeah. That's. [00:23:40] Speaker 2: That, yeah. That's. [00:23:42] Speaker 3: Bruise, yes. [00:23:43] Speaker 1: You did that, right? [00:23:44] Speaker 2: Never. [00:23:47] Speaker 1: Four, five, eight. Stay focused on your wife's right eye. Wow. What's happening to your wife's right eye in this photograph? It's smaller than the prior. [00:24:04] Speaker 3: It's healing, correct? Same picture, same picture, same picture, it's just better than the before. [00:24:22] Speaker 1: You did this to Manta? [00:24:23] Speaker 2: Never. [00:24:26] Speaker 1: Again, according to you, this is from her falling down the stairs. [00:24:33] Speaker 3: According to Manta, who's not here to tell us this, but according to you, this is an injury for Manta falling down the stairs. Yes. Stairs are flat, correct? [00:25:00] Speaker 2: I don't know, like, how to describe. [00:25:05] Speaker 1: It's like this. I don't know how to describe. We're not talking about, like, a jagged mountain. We're talking about a flat piece of stairs, right? And she only hits her right eye and her right nostril? [00:25:16] Speaker 3: We're not talking about Manta, we're talking about this chair. [00:25:30] Speaker 1: I know. Moving on. Judge, I'll pass him to the court. [00:25:45] Speaker 3: Thank you. [00:26:13] Speaker ?: Thank you. [00:26:14] Speaker 1: Mr. Bott, you saw in these, you saw in this text message exchange from your wife. On exhibit 455, not only did she send you two photographs, she sent you a video, an 11-second video. Do you remember seeing that on this exhibit? [00:26:58] Speaker 2: Yes.

I believe a little different. But that's what Mapta looked like in December 2023? Yes. I hope this in the evidence is Commonwealth's 459. 459. [00:29:49] Speaker 4: No objection. No objection. Without objection. That will be received. [00:29:55] Speaker 1: Permission to publish. [00:29:56] Speaker 4: You may. For the record, this is a two-second video. [00:30:10] Speaker 1: For the record, this is a two-second video. I'm stopping at one second. Mr. Bott, this is a video that Mapta sent to you, correct? Which one I don't recall? [00:30:42] Speaker 2: Similar, some sort of video she sent me, but I don't recall which one. [00:30:50] Speaker 1: This is what Mapta's right eye looked like in December of 2023? [00:30:55] Speaker 2: Yes. She has something here as well. I don't see that. Somewhere, somewhere around here. [00:31:00] Speaker 1: That's her face swollen.
