Here's what I found tonight from that 210 page document (the transcripts), but note the ending sentence. There was previous discussion the day before with Brocchini.

1 Q. Okay. And he told you that they were life
2 insurance policies on both of them, one on Scott for 250,
3 one on Laci for 250; isn't that correct?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. And that they were also used for a -- what he
6 called an investment vehicle; isn't that what he told you?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Okay. And that they were connected to their IRA or
9 retirement accounts; isn't that correct?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Okay. At that point the -- that had pretty much
12 debunked -- I mean, you served the subpoena, and you got the
13 life insurance policies three days later; is that correct?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Okay. And the -- you had then confirmed at that
16 point that there was absolutely no truth to the rumor that
17 there was a recently purchased life insurance policy; isn't
18 that correct?
19 A. That would be correct.
20 Q. Okay. Now, were you aware that there was a Modesto
21 Bee article that came out, I don't know, the 16th or 17th of
22 January that was still putting forth this misinformation?
23 MR. HARRIS: Objection. Relevance.
24 MR. GERAGOS: Well, it's relevant --
25 THE COURT: Sustained.
26 MR. GERAGOS: Could I make an offer on that?
27 THE COURT: You can try.
28 MR. GERAGOS: Okay. Yesterday Mr. McAllister asked
1317
1 Detective Brocchini as to whether or not he was aware of
2 that article, and, in fact, he said yes, that was the same
3 article that he had phoned up people and told them to read
4 online at 6:40 in the morning, I believe it was on the 16th
5 of January. And I wanted to tie that up as to whether this
6 officer knows. I'm not going to pursue whether or not he
7 talked to Brocchini yet. I just want to know if he's aware
8 of the article.
