Q. Okay. Tell me about the first time you had a chance to meet Mr. Wolf, what you recall about
that.

A. On a particular date in January of 1997, shortly after Dilson's information, we had Mr. Wolf
brought into the police department in which we had a rather unpleasant exchange and little or no
information was obtained from him at that time.

Q. Was his conduct at that time what you would characterize as suspicious?

A. Everything depends on context but he was not, certainly not cooperative.

Q. Well, didn't you ask him to write certain words that were from the ransom note found in the
Ramsey house?

A. Yes.

Q. And didn't he refuse to do so?

A. Yes.

Q. That certainly was not consistent with innocence, was it?

A. Sometimes I've found that a lack of cooperation like that may not be any more indicative of guilt
than a cooperative person who turns out to be guilty.

Q. So someone's refusal to cooperate with you by either agreeing to an interview or submitting to a
handwriting exemplar is not viewed by you necessarily as being indicative of guilt, true?

A. It's not evidence.

Q. Well, you said, I believe, that you have found that a lack of cooperation like that may not be any
more indicative of guilt than a cooperative person who turns out to be guilty; is that right?

A. Yeah, in response to your question.

Q. So let me put it in the terms that you put it. It is not evidence of guilt by simply refusing to
cooperate with the police by either agreeing to an interview or submitting to a handwriting exemplar,
true?

A. Are you reading back to me my statement or your question?

Q. I'm asking you a question. Don't worry about what I'm reading; I'm asking you a question.

A. Repeat the question for me, please.

Q. It is not evidence of guilt on the part of someone who simply refuses to cooperate with the police
by either agreeing to an interview or submitting to a handwriting exemplar, true?

MR. DIAMOND: If that's what he said that doesn't make sense.

A. I have lost you one more time, Mr. Wood.

Q. (BY MR. WOOD) You don't understand the question?

A. No.

Q. An individual who is not cooperative and does not agree to a police interview or agree to a police
request to provide a handwriting exemplar, that refusal to cooperate is not evidence of that individual's
guilt, true?

A. I would agree with that.

Q. Thank you.

A. In that context.

Q. In what context?

A. We're talking about Mr. Wolf here.

Q. Well, I was talking about any individual.

A. Then repeat the question to me, please.

Q. An individual who is not cooperative and does not agree to a police interview or agree to a police
request to provide a handwriting exemplar, that individual's refusal to cooperate is not itself evidence of
that individual's guilt, true?

A. That is not evidence you can take to a judge in an affidavit, certainly not.

Q. Not evidence of guilt?

A. Not evidence in a courtroom, as I understand it.

Q. Okay.
