"Because that is your opinion, not mine" Losey sets Holmquist straight on cross

Jason Losey was questioned on re-direct by Ms. Firpo and re-cross by Ms. Holmquist who is representing Tree with Mr. Russo.

Ms. Holmquist spent an hour today asking Losey about his shower schedule, cell jail layout, if he remembered what books he read and questions completely irrelevant to the testimony he gave about overhearing incriminating conversation that happened between Tree and his cellmate Williams.

Her cross of him ended abruptly after he responded to her ridiculous questions and badgering him on small details which he had explained several times by saying, "You asked me the same questions a week ago and some answers are not the same." Losey had said maybe his memory loss was due to drug use. Holmquist not getting anywhere  pressed by saying he could not respond with just "sure". Losey frustrated that she would not accept his answers and wanted him to say what she wanted to hear, countered back with, "Because that is your opinion, not mine."

Ms. Holmquist brought up on cross that Losey was stressed about being in maximum security and wanted to get out. That he was getting nowhere about getting into a program and getting released. That he got out a month early and is now a program. She also said that Losey told DA investigator Marvin Kirkpatrick that he would not testify from the "inside".

In two days, we heard extensive testimony from Losey about leaving a white supremacist gang, how he had to be placed in protective custody and that now that he is considered a snitch, he has lost more friend. Ms. Firpo reiterated all of this in re-direct.

Losey said that his "name was a wash on the streets." He also said, "sitting in jail for another 30 days and not losing people I know on the street...how do I put it? ...it's just...there's no...I am not benefitting by testifying."
