Today we viewed a video recorded deposition of a witness. This witness was deposed back in June 2013. The nice thing about this presentation is that questions were asked and information was presented that have not been allowed thus far during the trial. This particular lender made an additional personal construction loan a few months after the 'big $3million loan'. He also said he would never lend a dime to Derek Dunmyer, yet that is exactly what he did.
The frustrating part about the video contents was a mischaracterization of a defense exhibit: the closing statement showing the house being sold and proceeds being distributed to lenders, subcontractors, and vendors. The exhibit was intended to show that this lender was paid off, but the prosecution characterized is as "see what happened to your money? It went to pay X, Y, and Z. Did you know that's how your money was going to be used?"
The state continued with the main investigator, Ruth Johnson. She was the one who received the illegal recording and attempted to listen to it.... both are crimes for which she was not charged, nor did she report the insurance agents who made the recording. This investigator also visited Randy "posing as an investor" to get his story. Call it undercover work... call it lying....
The state will finally rest Thursday and Defense will begin.
