Patsy: "... early on we 18 provided a list, Boulder police or whomever, 19 said who could -- is there anybody that 20 could be angry with you all or you know had 21 a reason or who had access to the -- I mean 22 because we made lengthy lists of those. And 23 I believe John, you know, mentioned Mr. 24 Merrick among that list because he had been 25 let go from Access. 1 And I remember very vividly that 2 the day he was going to be asked to let go, 3 I was afraid. Not unlike the postal 4 incidents that happen. I was just afraid 5 for my father and John and -- because you 6 never know what people are going to do when 7 they are asked to leave a company. 8 And subsequent to that, when he 9 was asked to leave, he made some threats to 10 John and I think maybe even to my father. 11 That -- I mean, I am paraphrasing. I don't 12 know exactly. You can ask John, but 13 something like you are going to be sorry. I 14 am going to bring this company to your 15 knees. Just really, you know, ugly.She is answering a question here - - not accusing anyone - - just answering a question. 24 MR. WOOD: Right now I can tell 25 you, Chief, until you all can tell us 1 somebody has been cleared, I don't think 2 anybody that has been mentioned has ever, in 3 our mind, been taken off of possibilities. 4 I mean, you all haven't, as I 5 understand, you all haven't officially 6 cleared, I am not even sure beyond Burke, 7 John Andrew and Melinda. 8 I hear rumblings back from the 9 White camp that April of '97 allegedly he 10 was cleared, but as I remember what I 11 learned about it, it looked pretty qualified. 12 THE WITNESS: All right. Because 13 I don't know -- 14 MR. WOOD: We are not here to 15 clear anybody. The question for her was 16 about -- 17 CHIEF BECKNER: I am asking her 18 what she believes. 19 MR. WOOD: If she's heard anything 20 that's changed her -- any other additional 21 information about Merrick other than what you 22 already had given them earlier. 23 THE WITNESS: No. Lin Wood made it clear that he and his clients were not clearing anyone - that was up to the investigators - - - and for this they were accused of throwing people under hte bus. As you can see, that is not what happened.
