Prosecution Cross-Examine Chris Tucker
May 26th, 2005Chris Tucker who was strong under defense questioning, appeared to have problems remembering key moments during cross-examination, handled by Santa Barbara County Dist. Atty. Thomas Sneddon.
In one typical exchange, Sneddon asked whether the telephone call had taken place after the charges against Jackson were announced. The comedian said he couldn’t remember.
Sneddon also questioned a trip Tucker took with the family to the movie star’s brother’s wedding. Tucker testified that he didn’t know who invited the family, though at points he implied that he might have allowed them to come.
Sneddon produced a photograph of Tucker and his family with the accuser’s family.
“It’s a nice photo. Can I get a copy of it?” asked Tucker.
“That depends on whether you are a good boy or not,” Sneddon replied.
Sneddon also presented documents designed to refute Tucker’s testimony about the chartered flight. Rather than being a special flight, the documents showed that the flight to Miami had been changed from a previously chartered flight to Orlando, where Tucker has a home.
