Adrian Carter: I would say a half dozen times maybe more when these episodes would escalate, we would call our 1 <br />neighbors, as were instructed by Michael Harvey to document the shooting episodes to inform the sheriff’s 2 <br />department of the episode and have the sheriff’s department come out. I can’t explain why our record is not here. 3 <br /> 4 <br />T.C. Morphis: It would appear there were phone calls made for which there were no record generated? 5 <br /> 6 <br />Adrian Carter: Absolutely. 7 <br /> 8 <br />T.C. Morphis: We made a public records request for all sheriff’s reports, is that correct? 9 <br /> 10 <br />Adrian Carter: Absolutely. 11 <br /> 12 <br />T.C. Morphis: Would you please turn to the last four pages of Exhibit 8. If you look in the top right corner, there is a 13 <br />date, June 21, 2014, is that correct? 14 <br /> 15 <br />Adrian Carter: Yes. 16 <br /> 17 <br />T.C. Morphis: This is the date of the police report. Did you hear the shooting on that date? 18 <br /> 19 <br />Adrian Carter: Yes I did. 20 <br /> 21 <br />T.C. Morphis: The reason I ask is did you have any discussions with your neighbors about this shooting, specifically 22 <br />with your neighbor, Mrs. Molly James? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Adrian Carter: I didn’t have a discussion with Molly James, however, her husband Johnathan, called the police 25 <br />department, the sheriff’s department and I believe Mr. James emailed both you and I and possibly Mr. Harvey about 26 <br />this escalation and reversion to the way it had been before. 27 <br /> 28 <br />T.C. Morphis: We have a sworn affidavit from Ms. James, I would like you to read it out loud and tell me if it 29 <br />accurately reflects the conversation you had. It is relevant because it talks about non-family members on the 30 <br />property. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Anthony Taibi: Relevance… hearsay. 33 <br /> 34 <br />T.C. Morphis: It is a sworn affidavit. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Larry Wright: Sir, you talk to the board. 37 <br /> 38 <br />T.C. Morphis: I apologize. The last three pages of Exhibit 7 Mr. Carter. 39 <br /> 40 <br />David Blankfard: Do we really need to listen to him read this affidavit. 41 <br /> 42 <br />T.C. Morphis: I am happy to read two relevant paragraphs. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Larry Wright: Two paragraphs you are going to read? 45 <br /> 46 <br />T.C. Morphis: Yes sir. We will skip right to paragraph 6. After an unusually loud and ongoing shooting session on 47 <br />June 21, 2014, my husband called the Orange County Sheriff Department to see if they could check on the shooting. 48 <br />I drove down to the shooting range. As I walked toward the activity a man turned to face me and pointed a semi-49 <br />automatic weapon in my direction. I directed him to lower his fire arm as even I know the basics of gun safety.
