Here's the information on record, extracted without alteration or summarization. I will emphasize that I am presenting what's publicly available; I am not judging the validity or context of the evidence, only presenting it as filed. Case Background:

4 Q. And why did he give you a different
5 number other than his, quote, "normal cell 6 phone," quote? 7 A. I don't know. 8 Q. Did you ask? 9 A.
