her i went [00:04:21] Speaker 1: close to her okay now you're close to her you're trying to what are you what are you doing to her [00:04:30] Speaker 2: when i didn't get a response back i tried to put my hands on her and try to see if she's [00:04:44] Speaker 3: that's when i saw all that [00:04:50] Speaker 1: at some point at some point you drag her into the bathroom [00:04:55] Speaker 3: but she did it but she that was after quite a while to get more water [00:05:09] Speaker 1: when you're touching mapta is it fair to say she's dead at that point [00:05:27] Speaker 3: maybe maybe but i tried all the medical procedures i knew then whatever i know whatever i know [00:05:35] Speaker 1: and she didn't respond to any of them no no according to you you did chest compressions cpr yes you are you did mouth to mouth yes knowing that she had poison yes you're putting your mouth on her ingested poison mouth yes okay and so she didn't respond to the chest cpr she didn't respond to mouth to mouth she didn't respond to your words how long does this go on for [00:06:10] Speaker 2: exactly i don't recall the time plus minus 30 minutes a little bit over or around 30 45 minutes i don't [00:06:18] Speaker 1: exactly recall you were military trained at this point right yes you also were trained basic training as a police officer correct yes and a light never went off to call medical professionals [00:06:39] Speaker 3: military military yes yes [00:06:48] Speaker 1: right away right away no not right away actually ever yes you never called 9-1-1 no you said you were military trained yes and trained as a police officer yes you trained to save lives yes you were also trained to take lives correct yes you were trained to kill yes you were trained how to kill with your hands no the army didn't teach you how to kill with your hands they use weapons firearms they didn't teach you how to fight in the military i don't recall those i don't think so so no so no hand-to-hand combat in the u.s army is what you're saying i don't think so no they trained [00:07:39] Speaker 2: you how to kill with weapons yes what types of weapons uh machine guns m16 m ak-47s stuff like that [00:07:48] Speaker 1: some heavy machinery yes they also trained you how to kill with knives correct no so the military never never expected close up encounters with an enemy combatant they didn't train you for those types [00:08:04] Speaker 2: of scenarios i had only the basic training so like i never get any training with the knife or pistol or shotguns i never get that any trainings you only learned how to kill with weapons you didn't learn how to [00:08:17] Speaker 1: kill with your hands i did not you said that you brought water to mopta [00:08:48] Speaker 2: it was already there in the uh stand got it so you had to get water from the stand and you tried [00:08:55] Speaker 4: giving it to mopta yes she drank it i didn't mean to say that i was going to give the water in her hand mr bot explain that what does that mean i didn't mean to give it to the hand you were going to pour the water into her mouth [00:09:24] Speaker 1: that is correct so did she drink the water that you're pouring into her mouth [00:09:30] Speaker 2: no [00:09:35] Speaker 1: and you're pouring according to you you're pouring the water into her mouth after you had tried to give her cpr after mouth to mouth after mouth to mouth yes testified about a stethoscope tell us about this stethoscope [00:09:59] Speaker 2: it is a device to i don't know how to explain your device [00:10:10] Speaker 4: it's a device that measures the heartbeat and the pulse and so you thought [00:10:17] Speaker 1: that maybe you couldn't hear her heart [00:10:21] Speaker 2: so you went to go get a stethoscope yes where was it uh downstairs where the baby plays [00:10:32] Speaker 1: so these are all life-saving measures you're trying to take to save mata right yes when you were in the military you were awarded cls yes combat lifesaver course yes cls what did you learn in that class [00:10:53] Speaker 2: uh in that class if there is a big wound how to cover that big wound with available resources even plastic how to put the tourniquets on uh anybody like get severely wound big wound how to you know like uh control immediate clean the airway breathe and circulation those are the basic stuff i learned how to put the nasal some i forgot the terminology now and something in nasal that those stuff i learned [00:11:24] Speaker 4: nasal you mean the nose yes okay we just clarified it used for wound wound i had heard that he used the word wound [00:11:37] Speaker 1: yeah the military was training you to save injured soldiers right yes and basic medical intervention is cpr yes they also in the military they were putting you in these situations that way you become familiar and not panic [00:12:06] Speaker 2: you were you were you were battle ready when you came out of the military [00:12:28] Speaker 1: right yes you even got a certificate for being able to save lives [00:12:34] Speaker 2: yes yes [00:12:36] Speaker 1: yet you completely failed to save mapta's life [00:12:43] Speaker 2: yes [00:12:47] Speaker 1: and again you're an i.t guy right information technology is your specialty [00:12:54] Speaker 2: civilian yes [00:12:58] Speaker 1: you're pretty savvy when it comes to cell phones you're pretty familiar [00:13:07] Speaker 2: depends on what it is [00:13:09] Speaker 1: and it never once crossed your mind my wife's dead let me call 9-1-1 [00:13:24] Speaker 4: first time first it did not come then it came later on when it came later on would you do with it would [00:13:30] Speaker 2: you do with that thought i scared i panic i was very panicked i was scared [00:13:39] Speaker 1: so as opposed to getting her life getting professionals to save her you thought let me go get a stethoscope yes yes yes and not only did you what's wrong when you woke up at 4 a.m was your phone on you on my room in your room yes when you according to you saw mata you said that her phone was laying on to the left side of her and a video is playing [00:14:25] Speaker 2: i don't know it was video or not screen light was on look like video or call i don't know look like [00:14:32] Speaker 1: screen was on and even seeing that phone right next to her body you didn't think to call 9-1-1 [00:14:41] Speaker 2: at that time i was very panic i did not uh able to do that okay so after you got the stethoscope what you do next try to find what i know like heartbeat pulse and there was none yes now which do next i was tired try to keep try to keep try 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 [00:15:22] Speaker 1: let's get into your emotional state you keep saying that you felt scared to call 9-1-1 why [00:15:35] Speaker 2: because i was thinking not in the initially initially i was just 100 percent focusing on the what i know the medical intervention later i feel like i'm get i'm gonna get blamed because of our relationship wasn't good and then that day before i was about to move out for the you know another place i scared about that i'm gonna get the blame that's that's what i scared about everything [00:16:00] Speaker 1: and here you are today yes being blamed by the commonwealth attorney's office correct yes at that time i don't think about your fear of being accused of murder was stronger than your feeling to save her life can you please repeat that again and say your fear of being prosecuted for murder we'll take it in pieces your fear of being prosecuted was stronger than your feelings to save mata [00:16:49] Speaker 4: no it's not like that by the time i found her mom that was dead [00:16:54] Speaker 1: already yes she has gone she has already gone sorry have you heard the expression consciousness of guilt 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 mom to put poison in her food correct no and on july 29th only two people could have put poison in momta would you agree with me on that yes or the more obvious one you poisoned her yes and you're saying you did not poison her never never never never you would never hurt her never never not even withdrawn again and i want to be crystal clear you have never hurt momta ever physically never you're telling the truth on that one [00:18:56] Speaker 2: yes [00:19:03] Speaker 1: you recall watching your interview with detective vantura when she came to your house she came a couple times yes female detective yes she asked you about this plate smashing incident you remember this yes you hurt mapta that day right that wasn't hurt it didn't hurt no did mapta say when you smashed the [00:19:36] Speaker 2: plate in her face it didn't hurt that wasn't hurt that was not hurt that wasn't no intention no hurt no [00:19:44] Speaker 1: that wasn't anything sir did you watch the video you did okay yes tell me if i'm doing what you did correctly you took the plate and you smashed it into her face no you didn't do that that wasn't like even you [00:19:58] Speaker 2: look interview again like that wasn't the i was saying like momta fall down with the wire and then that comes in my head i push like this that goes to montage that's what i said that's what happened [00:20:13] Speaker 1: i mean we saw it on the video but for the members of the jury
