Court reporter from Jon Goldberg's preliminary called as a defense witness

Deputy District Attorney Luke Bernthal had no redirect. Hard to dispute court records.

Mr. Bernthal's tactic of using preliminary transcripts works both ways. It worked well for the defense today.

Tim Smith Jr can say anything he wants about differences in testimony in December 2016 and now.

Court reporter transcripts are undisputed records. December 2016 was closer to September 26, 2016 than March 2018.


Tim Smith's responses were read by Ms. Shaha from the preliminary hearing transcript.  At the preliminary Tim Smith Jr, testified that the doors to his father's truck doors were open. There were other responses by Tim Smith Jr about firearms owned by his father that were different in the preliminary.
