Wednesday Morning Feb 20, 2008 Briana Waters Vs.

USA Robert Corrina (Briana's cousin) continues testimony & is being cross examined by the defense. We revist the chronological events between 2006 - Feb 2007, when he was providing the government with testimony Defense revisits jan 19, 2007 meeting where Friedman and Agent Halla visit Kara (his wife) at her office. Corrina says he was angry hearing about that meeting, where Agent Friedman was yelling at her. Defense begins to ask questions regarding the rental car & the primary use of the car. Who was in the car when the car arrived back at his house? When was the first memory of the rental? The defense states that you used the car. You and Kara told the feds that the principal use of the car was for YOUR Family. The prosecutors objected, because of hearsay. You, Kara, and your lawyer spoke that Kara spoke to Friedman. Witness responds, YES. You and Kara swapped notes about the questions asked to you by the GOVT. He says YES. Kara informed the government that the car was for the family. He say's he doesnt know what Kara told the government in her interview. Kara informed the witness that she told the government that nobody else used the car. Another Objection by USA based on hearsay. The judge says hearsay, and that if the defense wants to call Kara as a witness, they should call her. The defense begins asking the witness about his car usage, when where, how long, where did you go? Exhibit shown that has Robert's credit card transactions for May 19 & 20th, 2001. The defense makes the strong point after these points that he used the rental car for his purposes Sat. afternoon. Witness agrees. Defense suggests later on Sat. May 19 Briana has severe abdominal pains. Witness says that was Sunday. The defense says that in an interview with MR. Friedman (USA), you stated that Briana had abdominal pains Sat afternoon. The point is that it was the same day after your personal car use on Saturday that Ms. Waters had sharp abdominal pains. And in order to keep yourself and Kara out of jail, you have to say it was Sunday. The witness denies this, and he says he wouldn't cooperate but he's telling the truth that it was Sunday. Defense suggests that Briana didn't return with the car on Saturday night. The witness says' that he was waiting for Briana to return the car on Monday. He was worried that the rental may be returned late. The defense says that that was a lie. You were working Monday. Witness stated he was at home. Defense resuggests that he is fixating on this point to keep him and his wife out of jail... Defense starts asking about the witness's car usage on Sunday. The witness has a hard time recalling details, like where he went and what time of day it was.

The defense went over some credit card transactions for Sunday to track witness's activities. They also view credit card transactions for the following day, Monday, May 21, 2001. Defense suggests that the witness was taken to work by his wife, Kara on Monday. That he was at work on Monday. Objection by the feds, argumentative. Defense asked witness whether he remembers his testimony with Mr. Friedman yesterday. He asked you questions leading you to say that Briana returned on Monday, when in fact you testified earlier that she appeared late Sunday. The witness says it was the slip of the tongue and insists that it was Monday. Do you remember that Friedman lead you to say that it was Monday? The witness says YES, I remember. More questions are asked about the car and the drop off of the rental. You said you looked for damages. Did you say that to anyone before yesterday's testimony? I remember mentioning it to Agent Halla and his lawyer previous to yesterday's testimony. Thats why I made a note on the calendar to call Budget to check if there was any damage or extra fees. Meeting with Kara, his lawyer and Friedman in Seattle on Feb 1, 2007. You told the FEDS that you couldn't recall why you had to call Budget the week after the rental. The witness responds, Yes. The prosecutors objects to him viewing the document. The defense suggests that he is seeing these documents, and then these documents are triggering his memory, but then it becomes the memory of the document, and not the facts. 2 different things. Return to discussion about Monday evening. Did the car smell like gasoline? Nope. Did you see any damages or touch up paint, or any dents to the rental car? No. They discuss Briana's arrangement for rental car usage and the claim by the government that this rental car was used in the UW arson. Dont you find it odd, that Briana didn't even show up Friday when she was supposed to get the car? The witness states that was "typical Briana." The defense says, she doesn't show up the day she was supposed to get this car. Defense and witness talk about how the witness trusted Briana with his precious child, his treasure. At Feb 1, 2007, meeting with the feds, do you remember telling them that it was because your bikes were in the shop, that you rented the car? "That's an over simplification." You said, after reviewing your calendar, it suggested that your bikes were being repaired, you work 9 miles away, and wouldn't a rental car be convenient? The witness states that he was reasoning why the rental would be helpful. The transcript is accurate but out of context. Defense states that the witness used the car for his use Sat., Sun, and Monday, and that he wanted

Briana to move her possessions out of this basement. The witness states that he was doing Briana a favor, and he was also finding his own reasons for using the rental car. On Feb 1, 2002, Briana moved to California. Defense recalls a telephone conversation between Robert and Briana, taking about the move and that she was looking for something she left at his place. The witness finds it odd when she shows up the next day, as he thought she was in California. Jan 21, 2002, Briana lived with you, & got sick & went to the St. Peter's Emergency Room. Do you recall her stomach pains? "No memory; she was sick a lot." The defense says Jan 2002 or May 2001? Think back, are you remembering this wrong? Are you confusing these two events? The witness refers to the govt transcript that Briana used the car on Sat and not Sunday. The witness states that that transcript was correct. The defense questions Corrina about the $200 cash deposit from Briana. The defense asks do you remember Feb. 1st, with Agent Halla you said that Briana gave you $100 for car rental, phone usage, and storage fees for her stuff in the basement. But you didn't tell them anything about the $200 from Briana 3 days after the car rental. You didn't tell them any of this Feb 2007? Your memory gets better as time goes on. Robert says his memory was triggered by a handwritten document. The defense sarcastically says, 7years ago May 2001? Thats what you remember? The defense revisits that Corrina is afraid being accused of purgery, lying, federal offenses, and that is what is driving your testimony. Defense states again that he is being cohearsed by Agent Halla that the car was used in the UW arson. Corrina decided to get a lawyer with his wife, when he knew that this case was not going away. In Feb 1, 2007, in the interview with the feds, Robert told them that Briana had called to tell him that he'd be questioned by authorities, that she was in trouble, and that everyone that she knew would be questioned. She also told you other things; she didn't say to lie. He agrees to all of this. In the Feb. 1, 2007, meeting with Special Agent Halla and the FBI, you mentioned a meeting that Briana had in your house, in which she asked you and your family to leave. Did you tell anyone that before yesterday? Robert replies, "I'm saying it now; its the truth. The defense suggests that the meeting was about protecting old-growth forests. They question Robert about whether or not Briana asked him to leave his home. The defense asks who was there, whether the folks at the meeting were threatening, did they hide themselves, did they run outside? Robert says No. He also says that he doesn't know what the meeting was about.

This case is about arson. Robert says, YES. You knew Briana, you trusted her, she stayed at your home. Robert responds Yes. You knew that Briana did the Watch Mtn. documentary. Witness says YES. You saw it, you liked it, Robert responds Yes. Thats Briana Waters, isn't it? Robert says thats True. Feb 1, 2007 in your meeting with Agent Halla, your wife believed that the rental car was predominately for your family. Did you tell them that on that day? Witness says YES. Defense closed. (Bob destroyed the credibility of this witness on cross examination. It seemed obvious the guy was lying to save himself and wife from the threat of federal criminal charges based on his earliest lies to the FBI. THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ASSERT YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT UNTIL YOU HAVE AN ATTYS ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE. This man feels forced to lie to a jury that holds the rest of his cousin Briana's life in its hands because he told the FBI he didn't know who Briana was, instead of simply saying "I don't wish to speak with you without an attorney present. Please leave me your card and I will have my atty contact you if needed." ) Prosecuting attorney had a few more questions. Why do you believe your wife said that? Robert states he felt he had to spin the truth to his wife, that she had tension with Briana and that if she believed it was a rental for them it would be easier. The defense chimes in. So you lied? You tricked your wife? Robert states, no, that he just convinced her. You said your wife believed the rental was for you. Robert gets flustered, he says, i dont know, maybe left out details, , I dont remember. The defense ends with. The good thing about telling the truth is that you don.t have to remember anything. robert says, "i think i see what your saying." The witness steps down. The prosecution then calls 2 nurses. (seperately but I will consolidate since he asked and received very similar answers) Jackie Brown of St. Peters hospital, emergency room. and Donna Kravis of Capitol Medical. Both women work in the Emergency room and are questioned about the policies regarding logging documentation of new patients and if people are turned away due to lack of funds. Both nurses state that a patient is triaged to access their need, never turned away because of lack of money, and that if anyone had visited the emergency room desk, and started the registration process, even if they didnt stay, they still

got their name logged. Jackie Brown stated that the evening of May 19/20 were not busy but not slow either. Both also stated that there was no record of Brianna waters visiting May 19/20 2001. Jackie Brown did say that there was a record of Briana being there Jan 2002, but didnt have the exact date. The witnesses were cross examined by the defense who said IF there was a fabricated story that someone was in the emergency room, that person would not show up on your log, correct? Both agreed. The witness also asked Donna if the emergency desk was visible from the waiting room. She said yes. He asked if it was really busy, if someone who didnt want to wait, might walk out without being logged or noticed. She agreed. Defense ends. Witnesses leave the stand. Wednesday 20th Feb. 2008. Without jury present, before trial, defense and prosecutors squabble over who's testifying today. The defense asked the witness list be given to them a day ahead of time. The judge said, should've been happening already. The jury enters. The Prosecution calls Witness David Edwin Peterson Born 1973 moved to Washington moved to Oly. Lived there from '78 to the present.

Is this any easy decision? "No, these were my friends, Brianna is my friend, we made a committment to each other to not talk about the action." May 6, 2004, officer Quimby, special agent, FBI came to her door to talk about events in Colorado. She did not want to talk, and when asked, said she wasnt hiding anything and they left. She then contacted Kenny Clark to get agents info to her boyfriend Joe Dibee and summarized this meeting for him. Witness knew Joe Dibee told Kenny about the FBI visit, and Joe said "we'll spend alot of time in jail, and that he was scared. Prosecution mentions Dec. 10, 2006 (but really they meant 05) Quimby called Jens cell, and pleads her to listen and not hang up. Says that they know kolar has a great deal of involvement and they want to talk to her. Prosecutor asked, how did you find out about the 6 arrests of Dec 7, 2005?

Nicole never knew about the activity on sitejeopardized her above ground work. court recesses for the evening. witness will take the stand at 9:00 am thursday. NOTES: Defense counsel established Kolar as a cold, rich woman who didnt have any remorse for the numerous crimes she committed. She appeared to be very bright, heavily involved in major parts of planning, research etc. Question: why would a woman like Kolar, who was in charge of teaching computer security culture to the group and was heavily involved in lots of illegal activities, then keep all the PGP disks, info, data, passwords, old laptops, her old PDA info and other highly suspicious items for YEARS in her personal belongings???? Could it have been an intentional insurance policy for her in case she/they ever got busted??? Seems really strange for a smart woman to be so stupid as to save all this stuff, including scanners and gloves, and then willingly and voluntarily turn it all over to the feds once she was caught???
