McCarthy's motto means
to protect our family,

to testify here today?

People's Exhibit 10,

incident report

637
00:27:57,588 --> 00:27:59,721
filed by the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department.

638

Sir, did you write
-and sign this report?
-Yes, I did.

Did anything happen there
with defendant McCarthy?

640
00:28:04,639 --> 00:28:06,859
I was responding
to a 211 robbery.

641
00:28:06,902 --> 00:28:09,600
I was in the other room
and heard a gunshot.

642
00:28:09,644 --> 00:28:11,733
- A deputy yelled, "Gun!"
- Did you see the perpetrator

643
00:28:11,777 --> 00:28:13,561
in possession of a firearm?
- No, I did not.

644
00:28:13,604 --> 00:28:14,736
And yet
in the police report,

645
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:16,520
you indicated
that you saw this man

646
00:28:16,564 --> 00:28:19,001
with a gun in his hand.

647

- Yes, I did.
- Why?

648
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,966
Deputy McCarthy told me
that's what happened.

649
00:28:27,009 --> 00:28:29,577
I trusted him.
He was my training officer

650
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,753
and my mentor,
so I wrote it on the report

651
00:28:31,797 --> 00:28:32,841
as he told me to.

652

No further questions,
Your Honor.

656

That day, per protocol.

657

Well, the report was filed
at 8:15 a.m.,

658

with Deputy McCarthy?

Mr. Watkins, isn't it true
that you were

for Judge Carmichael?
