[00:00:20] Speaker 3: Order, not doing that. [00:00:26] Speaker 1: I want to identify everybody that you lied to. And if I forget somebody, tell us. You lied to Gita Koffle, right? [00:00:37] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:00:38] Speaker 1: You lied to her, to Manta's brother, Mahesh. [00:00:42] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:00:45] Speaker 1: That's for starters, who you lied to. [00:00:50] Gita Koffle: Would you mind to repeat that one more time? [00:00:52] Speaker 1: I'll ask a different question. You're an admitted liar to this entire jury. Everybody in this room knows now that you are a liar. [00:01:02] Gita Koffle: That is the only one thing I lied. [00:01:05] Speaker 1: That's the one. What's the one thing you lied about? [00:01:11] Gita Koffle: About that case at that time. [00:01:15] Speaker 1: About the Manta case. That's the case you lied about, right? Didn't you say to the police that you never lie? Those are your words? You never lie. [00:01:35] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:01:37] Speaker 3: you lied to Sarita Nupani. [00:01:47] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:01:49] Speaker 1: You lied to Officer Pellet. I don't remember that. When you finally decided to make your fake call for the fine Manta on August, on that Sunday, Monday, August 5th. [00:02:05] Speaker 4: Yes. [00:02:06] Speaker 1: You finally decided to report her body missing. [00:02:12] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:02:13] Speaker 1: The officer that responded, you lied to him, too. [00:02:18] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:02:19] Speaker 1: The two officers that came for the health and safety check, you lied to them. [00:02:29] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:02:30] Speaker 5: You lied to Detective Claudia Ventura. [00:02:38] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:02:39] Speaker 1: You lied to Manta's friend who lives in New York, Sunita Bandari. [00:02:47] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:02:48] Speaker 1: You lied to Sachi Manali, that professional journalist who recorded your interview for the whole Nepali community. [00:02:58] Speaker 3: You lied to Sachi Manali and the whole world now knows you're a liar in the United States, Nepal, and in this courtroom. I don't know that. [00:03:23] Speaker 1: Let's think about it. Did you talk to Sachi Manali? [00:03:28] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:03:29] Speaker 1: And she broadcasted your interview to the entire country of Nepal? [00:03:38] Gita Koffle: I don't know. [00:03:40] Speaker 1: When you talked to Sachi Manali, who did you think you were talking to? [00:03:47] Gita Koffle: At that time? [00:03:49] Speaker 1: At any time. [00:03:50] Gita Koffle: I talked only one time. [00:03:51] Speaker 1: And she was broadcasting your lies live, correct? This was a live interview. [00:04:08] Speaker 3: I'll move on. [00:04:11] Speaker 5: You lied to Sachi, correct? [00:04:15] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:04:15] Speaker 1: You also lied to Nadia Navarro. [00:04:29] Gita Koffle: I don't remember to speak to her at all. [00:04:34] Speaker 1: Didn't you try to talk to Nadia at your baby's first birthday? You wanted to tell her something? [00:04:41] Speaker 3: I don't remember that. [00:04:51] 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? [00:04:58] Speaker 3: I remember only at this courtroom, that's what she said. [00:05:12] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:05:12] Speaker 1: Right. Do you think she was lying when she testified in this courtroom? [00:05:19] Gita Koffle: I don't know about her, but, like, I don't remember that day I want to talk to her or not. I don't remember that. [00:05:27] Speaker 1: Your old Wickersham tenant, Pitambar Mukia. [00:05:37] Speaker 5: You lied to him, too, correct? [00:05:44] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:05:48] Speaker 5: You lied to Amanda, your babysitter, correct? [00:05:56] Gita Koffle: No. [00:06:07] Speaker 1: You just didn't tell her the truth about what you did to your wife, correct? You held back that fact, right? [00:06:17] Gita Koffle: I do not remember to talk 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. [00:06:28] 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? [00:06:39] Gita Koffle: I went inside with taking my shoes off, but, like, not outside the window. I was looking at the Nima's place. [00:06:54] 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? [00:07:00] Gita Koffle: That might be happened, but I'm not saying that did not happen. But, like, I did not do that, like, looking at the window or something. But I went there. Maybe she saw I'm behaving weird. But, like, I don't remember that. [00:07:13] Speaker 1: You do or you don't remember acting weird when you went into her apartment? [00:07:16] Gita Koffle: I don't remember if she saw me that. But, like, I don't believe I did that. But I don't remember. If I did that, I don't remember. [00:07:24] Speaker 1: And you certainly heard her say that, right? [00:07:26] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:07:26] Speaker 1: And she has no motive to lie, correct? [00:07:29] Gita Koffle: I don't know that. [00:07:29] Speaker 1: She has no interest in the outcome of this trial, correct? [00:07:38] Speaker 3: I don't know. [00:07:40] Speaker 1: You have an interest in the outcome of this trial, correct? [00:07:48] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:07:49] 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. [00:08:01] Speaker 5: You could go to prison if the jury finds you guilty, correct? [00:08:15] Gita Koffle: Correct. [00:08:15] Speaker 5: So you have to convince 12 people that you didn't do this, right? [00:08:21] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:08:24] Speaker 1: Your friend, Ashish Sangrola, you lied to him as well, correct? [00:08:37] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:08:40] Speaker 1: Krishna Joshi, you lied to him as well? [00:08:45] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:08:46] Speaker 1: Deepa Oli, you lied to her? [00:08:49] Gita Koffle: I don't remember to talk to her at all. [00:08:51] Speaker 1: How about your neighbors that live around your house, around Heather Court? You lied to every single one of them, correct? [00:08:58] Gita Koffle: I don't remember talking to them. [00:09:00] Speaker 1: You heard them say that they tried talking to you, right? [00:09:05] Gita Koffle: But I don't remember. [00:09:06] Speaker 1: You don't remember? [00:09:08] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:09:09] Speaker 1: Do you think they were lying, though? [00:09:11] Gita Koffle: I don't think that way. [00:09:12] Speaker 1: You think they were telling the truth? [00:09:14] Gita Koffle: I never say that. [00:09:14] Speaker 1: Here's a question for you. Do you think anybody from the Commonwealth's witnesses has lied against you? [00:09:21] Speaker 3: Do you think any of our witnesses have lied against you in court? [00:09:40] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:09:41] Speaker 1: Who? [00:09:46] Gita Koffle: There are four or five. [00:09:48] Speaker 1: Tell me one. [00:09:51] Gita Koffle: The police officer. [00:09:52] Speaker 1: Which one? [00:09:53] Gita Koffle: I don't recall the name. [00:09:54] Speaker 1: What do you look like? [00:09:57] Gita Koffle: He came here for who went to my home on the day of 14th February of 2024. [00:10:08] Speaker 1: For that domestic disturbance? [00:10:11] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:10:11] Speaker 1: Do you think that officer lied in court? [00:10:15] Gita Koffle: It's not a lie, but it's not true. [00:10:17] Speaker 1: Well, which is it, sir? [00:10:18] Gita Koffle: He said, like, I went to down, I talked to him. I never talked to any, like, any of the police. [00:10:28] Speaker 1: So other than this little piece, that you didn't talk to this cop, everybody else has told the truth? [00:10:35] Gita Koffle: A few more. [00:10:37] Speaker 1: Let's have another. Who else lied in this court on your name? [00:10:42] Gita Koffle: Sarita Nupani. [00:10:43] Speaker 1: Sarita Nupani. [00:10:44] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:10:45] Speaker 1: Mobta's friend. The woman who got Mobta a phone. The woman who was getting her out of your house. The woman that gave Mobta safe space to live while you two worked out your marital stripes. That's who lied? Yes. What's her motive to lie? [00:11:14] Gita Koffle: I don't know. [00:11:16] Speaker 1: But what part of her testimony was a lie? [00:11:23] Gita Koffle: There are a few. [00:11:24] Speaker 1: I'll take one. [00:11:26] Gita Koffle: For example, she said, like, she, Mobta was there for many days. And then I go and drop the Nima, you know, like, I gave it to her. Nobody was there. But, like, we were going to New Jersey at that time. Nima, Mobta, my both parents were on the car. But she said, like, you know, she said, like, you know, I just go over there, drop, stuff like that. [00:11:55] Speaker 1: Anything else? [00:11:59] Gita Koffle: I don't recall everything right now. I don't recall everything right now. Yes. When, like, she was here, I recall some of those. Yes. [00:12:05] Speaker 1: But it just escapes your memory now what she lied about you in court. [00:12:10] Speaker 4: Some of them, yes. [00:12:24] Speaker 1: You also lied to Mandira. [00:12:38] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:12:40] Speaker 1: And that's your friend. [00:12:43] Gita Koffle: Sister type of friend. [00:12:45] Speaker 1: Yeah, she knew you before you were making big money, right? [00:12:52] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:12:55] Speaker 1: What did you lie to Mandira about? [00:13:01] Gita Koffle: About Mobta. [00:13:03] Speaker 1: Give me one of the many lies you told her. Which one did you say to Mandira? [00:13:12] Gita Koffle: I don't know where is Mobta. [00:13:15] Speaker 1: You tried to pass baby Nima to Mandira, correct? [00:13:26] Speaker 4: Baby Nima, like, Mandira's, like, dini, prayers go. [00:13:31] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:13:32] Speaker 1: You would rather Nima go to Mandira than go to the Koffle family. [00:13:40] Speaker 4: Koffle family, like, Koffle, like, Koffle, like, dini, sota, but Nima's, like, Mandira's, like, Nima's, like. I don't know. [00:13:47] Gita Koffle: Not that way. [00:13:49] Speaker 1: Didn't you say to Mandira that if she doesn't take the baby, you're going to put Nima in foster care? [00:13:58] Speaker 4: I do not recall that at all. [00:14:08] Gita Koffle: I, before they coming, I told Mandira to take care of the baby. Yes. [00:14:12] Speaker 1: And she told you she couldn't, right? [00:14:16] Gita Koffle: I don't recall that. She take the baby, she take care of the baby. [00:14:20] Speaker 1: This was a week ago, at most a week ago. You don't remember her saying this in court? [00:14:25] Gita Koffle: Yes, she said that. [00:14:26] Speaker 1: Okay. So she said in court, just to be clear, that you were going to give the baby to her or the baby goes to foster care. [00:14:40] Gita Koffle: She said that, I do not recall any way I say that, and then I make all the paperwork to give my daughter to my in-laws' parents. I did all the paperwork. [00:14:50] Speaker 1: You made the paperwork to give Nima to who? [00:14:55] Gita Koffle: Geeta Kaffee and Myers Kaffee jointly. [00:14:59] Speaker 1: Wasn't there litigation? Sorry, let me step that back. Giving your daughter to foster care is not how you would treat this goddess in your life, is it? [00:15:38] Gita Koffle: It could fit a little bit. [00:15:39] Speaker 4: Can you repeat? [00:15:39] Speaker 1: You said Nima was like a god in your life, a goddess, right? [00:15:48] Gita Koffle: In every Hindu culture, every girl daughter are, yes. [00:15:52] Speaker 1: Every grown daughter is like a god or a goddess? [00:15:55] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:15:57] Speaker 4: Wasn't Mamta a goddess also? [00:16:06] Gita Koffle: Lakshmi, yes. [00:16:08] Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. Not Lakshmi, Mamta was a goddess. [00:16:16] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:16:17] Speaker 4: Yes, that was their goddess, right? [00:16:22] Gita Koffle: Not only theirs. [00:16:23] Speaker ?: Not only theirs. [00:16:23] Speaker 1: Not only theirs. The community. Mamta was a goddess to everyone. She was love, right? [00:16:30] Speaker ?: Yes. [00:16:30] Speaker 4: That's not how you treated her. [00:16:36] Speaker 1: That's not how you treated her? [00:16:44] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:16:47] Speaker 1: Like trash. Garbage. That's how you treated her, right? [00:16:57] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:16:58] Speaker 1: That's why you were looking up the words disgrace in your Google searches? [00:17:10] Speaker 4: I don't recall that. It's in the records, sir. [00:17:13] Speaker ?: You can look at it. It might be. [00:17:13] Speaker 4: You said it might be? Would you like me to show it to you right now? [00:17:16] Gita Koffle: I'm not saying that, but I don't remember that. [00:17:20] Speaker ?: I searched a lot of stuff in Google, but I don't remember. [00:17:22] Speaker 1: You looked up a lot of stuff in Google, but I don't remember. [00:17:24] Gita Koffle: You looked up a lot of stuff in Google. [00:17:25] Speaker ?: Let's talk about that. [00:17:27] Speaker 1: You somehow remember making 14,000 searches on Google? I don't remember. [00:17:30] Speaker ?: You just said it. [00:17:31] Gita Koffle: You just testified. He needs to be able to answer. He needs to be able to answer. He needs to be able to answer. I don't remember. He needs to be able to answer. [00:17:37] Speaker 1: He needs to be able to answer. Oh, I should have slowed it down a little bit. Sorry, Judge. It's okay. You said, sir, that you made 14,000 searches on Google. [00:17:44] Gita Koffle: You said that this afternoon. I don't remember. [00:17:46] Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember. [00:17:47] Speaker ?: I don't remember. [00:17:49] Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember. [00:17:51] Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't remember. [00:17:53] Speaker ?: I don't remember. [00:17:54] Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember. You just said it. I don't remember. You just testified. He needs to be able to answer. I should have slowed it down a little bit. Sorry, Judge. It's okay. You said, sir, that you made 14,000 searches on Google. You said that this afternoon. [00:18:05] Speaker 4: I don't remember. I don't remember. You said that you were able to answer. You said that you were able to answer. You said that you were able to answer. [00:18:10] Speaker 1: You said that you were able to answer. Yes. [00:18:12] Speaker ?: Okay. [00:18:13] Speaker 1: Some you recall. Some you do not. Is that fair to say? [00:18:17] Gita Koffle: Majority of I do not recall. [00:18:22] Speaker 1: I'm summarizing, but I could pull the exact verbiage you type. Here's another question. Let's clear this up. The Google searches. Nobody hacked into your phone. Correct? [00:18:44] Speaker 4: These are all searches you did? [00:18:49] Gita Koffle: Yes. [00:18:50] Speaker 1: Your White House military account with your top secret clearance. [00:18:55] Speaker 4: Nobody hacked into those. [00:19:02] Speaker 1: Nobody hacked into your account and made those searches either, right? You did them. [00:19:07] Speaker 4: Yes. How long [00:19:24] Speaker 1: I'm not going to pull the record. I'm going to go off what I heard you say. How long wait to remarry after spouse dies? [00:19:38] Speaker 4: That's the search you did? Was it on your phone? Was it on your top secret clearance White House military account? [00:19:56] Gita Koffle: I don't recall. It's a work phone or tablet or work phone or work computer. I don't recall that.
