All I can say
is that, there`s some guys who clean the car and they hold it for me for a
couple of hours and I don`t know if they lock the car or not.
Was that
yesterday you had to car cleaned.
Yes.
The interior.
What time was
that between.
I can`t
remember the time.
What time did
Everette leave work yesterday.
When I left he
happened to walk down the alley, cause I went to movies and I gave Everette
keys to my neighbour in the other store.
Is this when
you left work at 5 pm you say you saw Everette.
No No.
When then.
This was at
about quarter to two because the movie started at 2.15 pm. I left the shop at five after two. Thats when I saw him.
So you left
Everette at the shop.
No.
When I was ready to leave at 2 that`s when I saw Everette walking down
the alleyway. I then locked the
shop up and went movies.
What time did
you get back to the shop.
Four o`clock.
And what did
you do there from four o`clock onwards.
Stayed there
until it was time to leave.
Did you speak
to Everette when you were in the shop from 4 onwards.
I just called
him and told him I was on my way to get him.
Did you say
anything else to him.
Not that I can
remember.
How did you
know Everette was at Khyber Pass, Warwick.
Before I left
to go to movies and he left to go down the alley thats when he told me he was
going up his sons house.
When you got to
Seymour Farm Road, what did you do.
Got out of the
car.
Then what.
I went to the
door.
What did you do
next.
I waited for
Everette to open up the door.
How did he open
the door.
With his hand.
He came through the window.
Which window.
The window by
the bed.
Did Everette
say why you were going to the apartment whilst you were driving up there.
I think he said
he had to meet somebody up there in a truck.
I con`t remember his exact words.
What happened
after Everette opened the door.
I walked in.
Was Anthony
home.
No.
What did you do
then.
Nothing, just
stayed there and waited.
Who put the
cover on the car.
We both did.
If you weren`t
staying at the apartment for any length of time, why cover the car.
I have no
comment.
So after you
waited in the apartment what happened.
A truck pulled
up.
Then what
happened.
The gentleman
got out of the truck and unloaded four boxes and said one of the boxes was
open because a fork lift must have broken it.
Where did he
leave the boxes.
In the house.
Did he say why
he was leaving them there.
No.
Did you ask
him.
No.
Did Everette
ask him why he was leaving the boxes there.
No.
How did he put
them in the room.
We helped him.
Were they all
neatly placed on the floor.
Yeah.
What happened
then.
Then he left.
Did he say
whether or not he would be back.
I think he said
he was coming back.
And he never
told you why he left the boxes in the apartment.
No.
Did he say why
he would be coming back.
No.
Can you think
why he might want to come back.
No.
What did you
two do then.
You arrived,
meaning the Police.
Did you do
anything in the time between the truck driver leaving and the Police arriving.
The box that
was open, the TV had fell out, then I noticed that the TV had been opened,
then the Police arrived and I came to the door and you said I was under
arrest.
BREAK.
WELLMAN USES BATHROOM.
RESUMED.
Did you wonder
why this guy would just leave these boxes in the apartment.
No I did not.
Did you believe
it was something Everette had arranged.
I can`t answer
that.
Do you know the
person who dropped these boxes off.
I`ve seen him
before.
Have you ever
spoken with him before.
Driving by I
may toot or something like that.
Did you check
inside any of the TV`s.
No.
Did the driver
leave anything else in the apartment.
I believe it
was three Genisis video games.
Did he leave
any papers.
Yeah.
I believe he left some sort of paper work.
Did you ask him
what the paperwork was for.
No I didn`t ask
him.
Did Everette.
I don`t
remember him asking him.
Why would you
and Everette help this man unload these boxes and put them in the apartment if
you didn`t know what it was for.
He arrived
there saying that`s where they have to come to.
Who did he say
this too.
To both of us,
I guess to both of us.
Do you think
this is the person Everette was referring to when he said he had to meet
someone.
He was in a
truck.
It is my
information that the televisions that were delivered to the apartment
contained controlled drugs. Do
you know anything about this.
No.
In the
apartment there was a shopping bag with some plastic trash bags, pliers, and
screwdrivers in it. Do you know
anything about this bag.
No.
I saw it there.
Did you or
Everette take it to the apartment.
No.
Did you or
Everette buy these items on the way to the apartment.
I dropped him
off. He went to the shop.
I can`t say what he bought.
Where was that.
To the Market
Place Heron Bay and Lightbournes.
A hardware
store at the top of Waterlot Hill.
And he came
back with a bag.
Yeah.
And you didn`t
see what was inside it.
No.
Did you see him
take it in the apartment.
No.
There was no
brown bag of shopping in the car when we searched it.
I remember you
searched it. I told you he got in
the window.
Do you think it
was the same shopping bag.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Did Everette
say why he wanted to stop at these shops.
No.
Between 4 pm
and 5 pm when you were in the shop. Were
you working by yourself.
Yeah.
Did you have
any customers.
A few customers
came in and browsed around but they didn`t buy anything.
Did you make
any telephone calls between this time.
I told you
already, I had to call Everette to tell him I was on my way.
Did you make
any other calls.
No.
Did you receive
any calls between this time.
I think I
received one.
From whom.
It was a
gentleman that called
About what.

No.
Did he leave a
message for Everette.
No.
