 Hey Tessa. Hey. Did they know you came to meet with them? No one does. I, um, put it lightly. I guess I'm hopefully grasping for it actually was not you that did that to Cornwood. Telling a bit of a lie, aren't you? I mean, I'm not really involved in it. You don't really need to say anything. Well, for the sake of everyone, I hope it's not true. I guess so. You know if it's going to go on the docket or am I going to get accosted at my home again? I'll push for it to be the, uh, the first of those two. I would appreciate that. Take care of yourself. Hey Big C. Howdy. So I've seen you to put as many details as you can in your statement that you could recall. After that point, I'm going to subpoena her phone records to see if she was in contact with Hubcap Jones. Cause I believe that they conspired to set up an alibi saying that she would have been at his concert, which was transpiring about 30 to 30 minutes to an hour before you were stabbed on the beach. And that's it. So I already interviewed a neutral party and I interviewed Hubcap and I interviewed Tessa. And I, there's a, the neutral party claims that Tessa was at this concert for five to 10 minutes, both Tessa Lam and Hubcap claim that she was there for about an hour. Okay. So you get, there's a large stretch of time unaccounted for it, which helps us place her at that sea potentially. Regardless, your testimony is the most important part. Oh yeah. Hell, that bitch did it. Well, there you go. Yeah. I'm telling you, look, listen, I was, I was groggy as shit when I, when I woke up and I was medicine. Okay. Yeah, hell, I'm fine now. But look, me and Tessa were friends and then, you know, she ends up stabbing me with the hell. So yeah, she did it. But, uh, yeah, there's a hell of a lot more to it. I'm sure, but yeah, I mean, that's, that's what I remember. All right. Yeah, just right in there and then I will be able to continue. All right. Sorry. Declan was yelling at me or not yelling at me. He was just telling me what was going on. Speedy recovery friends, you out there. All right. Yeah. Do you want to, do you want to pair this? I had it with suspension. This is going. Oh, I sent this thing all the way up. Oh, so I said Max. I just did it because I thought it looked funny. I actually love driving it with this suspension. Like you get the chance to talk to Lenny and Crane. Barely. I mean, I just told him, I said, look, I just, I mean, it is what it is. Tessa did that shit. Liam, do you know Tessa Lamb? Maybe briefly in passing. Yeah. So she used to be a park ranger and she was the, she was a game warden. Right. And I think she actually became game warden after I left. I think he was in charge of Rangers while I was around. Apparently went crazy. You're some shit. She stabbed me in the damn throat. Why the fuck she stabbed you? You should have Lenny talk to Jordan receptionist about your stabbing because she knew why they did it. Oh really? Yeah. She said she was upset about the dolphin that I said, you know, you know, this dolphin was a rescue and I brought it in as a gift to the, to the mayor. As a winner said, Hey, we're going to put a dolphin in the pool. She was upset about the dolphin because the dolphin apparently didn't. It's a fucking saltwater fucking creature. I mean, He was fine. Actually, he was swimming around for a while. I don't know what happened after. And you're saying he died after. I don't know. This is not a good luck. Well, there's no maritime laws. There's like animal cruelty law soon. Yeah. I mean, it's a fish. What if I'm fishing? There's no fishing license. I mean, I wouldn't quite say about fish. Dolphins are protected creatures. Aren't they not? Any person physically harvests an animal weather through reckless negligence or direct malice when not in the act of legally permitted hunting? I mean, I wasn't hunting. When not in the act of legally permitted hunting. Can we, can we talk about how Tesla lamb tried to stab me in the throat? Kill me instead of making a dolphin. I'm not, I'm not saying that. Was it like a saltwater pool? Was a freshwater pool? Uh, shit. I don't know. Probably fucking know that if you're going to throw a dolphin at it. Okay. Well, you know who was with me? Who? Multiple other officers. Wait, who was it? So I can tell you. Yeah. The only language I'm going to speak with Tesla from now on is this one. Okay. I'm letting you know. Listen, you tell me who else helped you. I tell Tesla. And then if, if they get the same thing. I guarantee you this is a former, listen, this is a former park ranger. This is one crazy ass bitch. I'm starting to piece the damn puzzle together. I guarantee you she's trying to take my job and she's going to hold animal cruelty over my head and she's going to say, I'm going to get you a felony. If you tell on me, I guarantee you. So I ain't saying shit about whoever else was there. And whoever else helped me do this thing. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but I know this. If this is a former park ranger doing this shit. Someone who I consider a friend I was always good with. You know, she's seeing damn red like a bull and coming for me. Uh-uh. No shit. No shot. No Surrey. So here's what we do. Okay. When was the mayor married? The 29th. So I'll let y'all know on the 30th. I don't remember what happened until the 30th. She was pissed that you grabbed the dolphin out of the fucking water. I think so. But I'll let y'all know on the 30th what happened. Oh, okay. All right. Well, you see why she's a little pissed off. I mean, being the former park ranger and park warden, you know, Game Warden, whatever you call it. Oh, and yeah. And you can see why I'm going to tell you on the 30th, right? Being a former lawyer. I get it. I get it. I understand. I'm just saying, like, hey, I think you know what you did. Yeah. I got stabbed in the throat after getting kidnapped. Yeah. There you go. Fucking pull the fucking gun. You're in a full statement. The other corner of everything you remember. Can't remember. I'm on a lot of mess. What? You can't remember what happened. You can't remember if you did the statement or not. Oh, both. All right. Well, would you feel that way? What do you have in mind? Oh, I do not recall. Okay. Hey, guys, just fucking caught. That's what you want permission to leave chief before he incriminates himself. No time being. Look, look at that statement written up in the next few days to a week though. Oh, so here's the thing. If you are not going to be able to stand up on trial. If you just say like two words and then at the pause for like 30 seconds. Well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking about this. I'm thinking about this. I'm thinking about this. I'm thinking about this. I'm thinking about this. Well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking about this. Why can't I just say she did it? You can. But I think it's you. You're articulating that more than just saying she did it. It's probably pretty important. I mean, Mark Furman right now. Yeah. But I mean, look at Lenny's Lenny statement is to a T. I saw her turn around 15 seconds later. Cornrows on the ground and she is no longer there. And then they catch her and she says she says she don't know what happened. And then I say, yeah, she did it. Nobody else is there. I mean, it's pretty much, you know, that's clear as day to me. No, no, no, no, no, it's not as clear as you think it is because you're going to there's going to be a whole question of motive and why did she do it and what happened during that? And there's going to be this whole line of questioning. You're going to have to do the fifth through the whole fucking thing. You can't even give it evidence of the statement of yourself. You can't say she did it because they're going to open up the line of questioning on all the shit that happened in the motive prior. Only the defendant doesn't have the right to plead with them. Yeah. But no, no, no, no, it's all self-incrimination. I mean, this could lead into a different thing. Furman did wasn't on trial for O.J. And he was pleading the fifth on stand. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying Cletus can plead the fifth without his statement being revoked. Yeah, but you'd have to be able to question it. If you plead in fifth, I don't know how much of that's going to be able to stick. Here's what I'm saying. If I give the statement and then she gives grounds for her motive being like an animal cruelty charge, you see what I'm saying? She takes that and then she pushes it forward and then oh, Cletus Cornwood shouldn't have his job because he committed a felony. Okay. So can I just, can I just play this off for you guys in court real quick? Can I do this? All right. Here's how it's going to go. As the prosecution, yes, Cletus. Cletus, you were present for the incident that happened. What happened to you? She stabbed me. I was kidnapped and I stabbed by a slyam. Okay. Okay. Where did she stab you? In the throat. I'm not going to prove that. Yes. Okay. Don't answer any questions. Now they can't expand on the scope. There's no fucking way they're getting to the 29th of February from that. They call them as a witness. Okay. So they recall him as a witness. Okay. So they get him up there and they say, Cletus, where were you on the 29th of February? All right. Objection, your honor. Relevance. Hello. What does the 29th of February have to do with anything? The fact is, is it doesn't matter. If they want to establish a motive for why Tessa hurt Cornwood, that doesn't help their case. Even if she did it because he committed a felony. I got one. I got one. You don't get to commit a felony. You don't get to put pressure on him. She's willing to go down for the cause. What if she's willing to be a martyr? She'll get up on the stand and she'll say why she did it. That's fine. That's perfectly fine. And if somebody picks it up because of that, that's their choice. I mean, that's the burden. The fact is they can't get to him. They can't get to him to make him answer anything about it. And if he did manage to get the scope open that wide or actually question him on the stand directly about that without the objections being handled and essentially sustained, then at that point he just invokes the fifth. He has every right to do so. It doesn't eliminate the rest of his testimony. Yeah. So I understand where you're coming from and I'm not saying it's a good book. Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying there shouldn't be a very easy way for them to get that. Tessa can go on the stand and give her side of the story about why she did it. But that just affirms that she did it. It doesn't somehow indict Cornwood because she saw that on the 29th. Did she go make a police report about it? Did she go do X, Y or Z about it? I guess this is a prosecutorial case. Then you're getting him first and then they recall him and then it's the defense thing. So I think if you start off by pleading the fifth, doesn't that make you kind of, you can't really answer anything at that point? No, that's only if you're a defendant. Only defendants can have the right to plead the fifth. No, he's saying I don't have to answer. That's what you're saying, Mac? I'm saying because you're getting called after. Recall. They'd have to recall. They'd have to bring you up on recall. Yeah, and I don't have to say anything. I'd just be like, no. Well, you do have to answer their questions. Yes, you do. Oh, OK. When you answer their questions, if it's an incriminating question, you can invoke the fifth. And if it's not incriminating question, and it's something like, why were you on February 29th? What the fuck does that have to do with the case at hand? I mean, it's very easy to prove. I get it. I mean, why would the defense do it? I get it. I'm just saying if she gives you a motive, she sets you up for her. We could have plenty of people testify that I wasn't being cruel to the animal at all. If it did even get to that point. Well, it did. First of all, is anybody going to testify that they saw you go grab that dolphin? You were in possession of the dog, but that doesn't inherently mean that you were the one that caught it. Listen, whoever ends up prosecuting this case, it's up to them. But all that I ask is that you guys do the right thing. Yeah. Shoot Tessa. All that I ask. It's true. No, I'm playing. I'm not going to shoot Tessa. Unless I have to. Legally. What would you fuck it? I can't believe you stopped. What? You fucking whipped it. How many people were there? Oh, like the whole city was there. Oh, my God. Of course, because it's the fucking mayor. Yeah, but you know, it was great. Everybody loved it, except for Tessa. So that dolphin, it was a rescue. It was going to die anyway. I raised it from birth. I don't know how it got into the Alamos, but it did. That's what I said at the thing. And his name is Finney. He had a bad fin. So, you know, I was bringing Finney to the party. And yeah, it was a saltwater pool. Would your dolphins live in saltwater? Actually, they live in both saltwater and freshwater to be fair. As far as I know. Yeah, hell. I don't think that was animal cruelty. I took good care of him. Would it only be animal cruelty if there was proof of the harm? Yeah, there's no proof. I hope that was a saltwater fucking pool. Well, here's the thing. What if Tessa took photos of everything and she tries to make me look real bad? Because there's no, you know what I mean? There's no proof of me not harming it. You can drop the charges, but then, I mean, you're letting her get away with what she did. I mean, that's why we just wait until my statute of limitations is up on the third. Why that? Oh, you better count your days, my man. You better get that fucking 30. You got to stay under the radar until then. Yeah, you see what I'm saying? We're going to do push charges after the 30th on Tessa. Yeah. That's two weeks from today. Because I can't let her retaliate with an animal cruelty charge on me. Because what if she does find somebody to prosecute? If you're going to fell on anything. Also, I don't want to incriminate nobody else. That's another thing. She didn't blow this fucking door wide open, man. You can't say, you can't... Oh, she was an old game warden. She knows the law, man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why now I have to cover my ass. You ever heard of the phrase victim blaming? I get it. I get that she's a lunatic and she stabbed it for this. But it's just like the idea of the why if that comes out, which I'm sure will be asked. I feel like most sane people in this city would hear Cornwood went and grabbed a dolphin and put it in the pool at the mayor's wedding for everybody to play with. They'll hear that and they'll say, based. That's it. What are the hell the damn kids say? All right. I mean, I'm not trying to grill you or nothing. I'm just trying to, you know, we got to consider all angles. This is all I'm saying. You got to be careful that this could be a real thing to turn its head. And you just got to be ready for it. I cover all my bases, my man. I'm just throwing that there. I'm helping you out more than anything. Yeah, actually, I mean, I think I'm fine. You'd rather the pressure for someone that's on your side. I think I'm fine.
