Now, I wanted to throw this question at Mike because one of the talking heads on the news today on cable news said,

you know, juries don't like when parents have to testify against their own children.

So, Mike, the question I'm going to post to you is this.

Apparently, he made statements to his parents implicating himself in the assassination.

Detectives interview them.

They put that down on their reports.

Is that enough to present in court, let's say bring the detective in and say, I interviewed Mrs.

Robinson and she said, stated the following, or Mr. Robinson is stated following or do

the parents actually have to testify, Mike? Bill, um, normally yes, absolutely under all circumstances,

you prepare a report, the DD5 follow up as we call me, you know, as you guys know in the NYPD.

And if you typed in that you respond to a location at a certain time,

you interviewed the parents and they told you this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That's a police report.

That's excellent.

That can be used to refresh your memory of their conversation with you.

Now, the thing is, if they are available and they're not missing so we could bring them

in to verify, a prosecutor could subpoena them, and they would have to come in.

But either, and if they don't want it, it's too bad.

If they have to testify, they'll testify.

But if the prosecutor does not want to do, as you say, have the jury see parents

testifying against their son, they'll still get the information through the investigatory

detective introducing the report.
