Q. What did the FBI tell you, the Boulder Police Department, about the credibility of Dr. Werner
Spitz?

A. Dr. Spitz I believe was the assignment of Detectives Trujillo, Wickman and possibly Weinheimer.

Q. They didn't tell you that, did they?

A. No, but I'm trying to answer the question.

Q. I know but we have a limited amount of time today but if we don't finish, we can come back and
finish another day. It would be helpful I think if you try to focus and stay on task with my question. I
don't mean to cut you off. You have the right to explain the answer but we can move quicker if we go
directly to answering my question. My question is, sir, did the FBI to your knowledge make any
statement to the Boulder police about the credibility of Dr. Werner Spitz?

A. No, to the contrary. I'm not aware of any such statement. And to the contrary, the detectives
assigned to Dr. Spitz thought the world of him and thought he was entirely professional and credible
and I never heard anything attacking the credibility of Spitz.

Q. At either presentation, it wasn't said?

A. No, DeMuth's presentation, other than attacking virtually everything, the VIP presentation, I took
that Spitz was an esteemed forensic pathologist.

Q. Relying on your fellow officers again, right?

A. Yes.
