I guess we will have to agree to disagree since you are unwilling for whatever reason to accept that when ST said No, that he meant No.

>Q. Q1Can you hear any effort on the tape to try to
>hang the phone up, Q2a banging or a Q3tapping
>or Q4anything of that nature?

Q2, Q3 and Q4 are NOT new or different questions. They are qualifyers. He was asking was there something on the tape that led ST to believe that Patsy had trouble hanging up the phone. What sounds might lead a person to believe that the person on the other end is having trouble hanging up the phone? Tapping, clacking, clicking, banging, clanging, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. How much more ALL inclusive can he be in the question.

ST's answer to this all inclusive question is NO.

Then ST says "without listening to the tape of the phone banging". What is he saying? He doesn't remember ANY banging but if he listened to the tape again and he heard banging, then he would say "yes" there was banging? So, since he admits that he doesn't recall hearing any sounds that would lead him to believe that Patsy was having trouble hanging up the phone, then why did he believe that was the case? What led him to that conclusion?

AND if there were no sounds at the end of the tape, what promted police to send the tape for enhancement?
