The other thing that bothered, me in the transcripts, was the oral interviews were not audio or video taped.
They had the agent(s) write their reports and they made comments the reports differed from the oral interviews, yet we have to take his word for this. Wouldn't that be hearsay?
This is a red herring. What was their defense, other than that they were doing their job? Their defense was that the perp pulled a gun on them.

If objections were not made on the record regarding this evidence or testimony, then it doesn't matter if it is hearsay. It is not the court's job to object to evidence...it is counsel's job. What section of the transcript is this found in?
