A. Uh-huh.
Q. Okay. This is not an endurance
competition. And I know your lawyer has mentioned
this to you too, ifs going to be a long day, but at
any tine if you need to take a break, smoke a
cigarette, get some water, use the restroom, not a
problem.
We usually break at around noon-ish,
one-ish to get some lunch and then well come back.
We'll be doing some testing throughout the day too.
We may break that up in between kind of the talking.
All right. Any questions, comments, concerns before
we start?
A. (Witness shakes head.)
Q. No. Okay. In general, I will kind of
start with your background and go forward.
Sometimes I will ask for dates that may be hard to
remember the exact date.
A. Yeah.
Q. Feel free to ballpark. Just kind of let
me know, around, I think, roughly. If I need
anything more specific, we'll try and narrow it
down.
A. Okay.

stuff out yourself, so —
I think they just started the camera, so
again I will introduce myself. My name is Dr. Hall.
I have been asked to see you in regards to a
lawsuit. So this is what we call a forensic
independent medical evaluation.
Anything you tell me may end up in my
report. And I think a copy goes to your lawyer, the
lawyers who retained me which are representing
Mr. Epstein, the judge may or may not read it, I
don't know exactly how all that works But just so
you're aware whatever you tell me could end up in
the report Usually when we see a doctor, there is
the expectation of confidentiality. It doesn't
apply to this situation.
All right. Also, 1 am not going to be
taking on treatment responsibilities for you. So, I
am not going to be treating you, making
recommendations, seeing you in the future. All

4
Q. Okay. And how much would he drink at a
5
time?
6
A. Maybe like a six pack.
7
Q. And what does the six pack do to him?
8
A. He's a happy drunk. He don't even, you
9

10
but other than that he don't argue. He don't fight. He

24
hear about them in the news and stuff.
25
A. They are good dogs, if you train them -- I

doctor's office, but I don't really ask questions like
2
that, so I don't know what that is from.
3
Q. Fair enough. Okay. So, there was one
1
distant cousin who may have tried suicide?
A. Yeah.
6
Q. Any history of substance use or alcohol
7
problems in the family?

20
21
22
23
24
25
Q. Okay.

A. But he recently had been to get, you know, a
job since it's so hard, they were Eking people. They
have been really keeping up on the drug testing stuff.
So as far as I know he's not doing nothing. But I mean,
you know, a little, you know, he's not like hard core
like going to get cocaine off the street or something,
Page 17
1

2
she's never bitten anyone, you know. I've had — she's
3
seven months old now. I've had her since she was
4
almost, you know, two months old or whatever and she's
5
never bit nobody.
6
I have a bad cat problem. This cat keeps
7
coming in my garden and stuff. And my cat, or my
8
dog doesn't chase her or nothing. She just looks at
9
her and tries to smell her, but she's a good dog.
10
My son doesn't like animals whatsoever.
11
Q. Okay.
12
A. So, you know, so -- but she's been around
13
other kids, you know, but my son, he won't go near no
14
kinds of animals. I don't know why, but he's scared of
15
them.

because before he was a — he hung drywall.
2
Q. Okay.
' 3
A. That's how, when I met him he was hanging
4
drywall but now he's on a grade crew.
5
Q. Okay. Again with the downturn in the
6
economy, working on roads is probably a little more
7
stable.
8
A. Yeah. That Chinese drywall didn't go too
9
well.
10
Q. Was he putting up the Chinese stuff or was
11
he?
12
A. Huh? Yeah. He was in Palm Beach working on
13
the island, and you know, Boca and stuff. So he —1
14
don't think he got any infection or anything from it
15
but, you know, I think it was only a couple of houses
16
they did, not too many.
17
Q. All right. And I think you said he was
18
your fiancee or something. So are you still seeing
19
Aaron?
20
A. Yeah. He is the father of my son.
21
Q. Okay. So, how long have the two of you

A. Since January of 2007. So, it will be three
24
years that I've been with him
25
Q. January 2007?
1
going to get married or just kind of a perpetual
2
engagement?
3
A. No. We don't have a date planned. I am still
4
trying to work on getting a stable, you know, car, and
5
place to live and you know, because we just barely moved
6
in like a couple of months ago. So, I am still waiting
7
on the ring.
8
Q. Understand. Has Aaron ever had any
9
nm-in's with the law or any problems?
10
A. Yeah. He got arrested in 2006 or 2005 or
11
something. He was, spent a year In jail for burglary
12
and he was put on probation after that, violated his
13
probation and in March of 2007 and got out of jail June
14
of 2007 and has not been back since or has any tickets
15
or nothing. I was kinds surprised he got his license
16
last year, no tickets or nothing so...
17
Q. What do you mean tickets like —
18
A. 'affle violations.
19
Q. Spading, seat belt?

22
A. Yeah.
23
Q. What's he got?
24
A. He has Palm Beach on his back.
25
Q. Okay.
Page 43
1.
A. Yes.
2
Q. Okay. And is it a good relationship?
3
A. Yeah.
4
Q. Any issues with domestic violence or
5
dating violence?
6
A. No.
7
Q. He's never hit you; you've never hit him?
8
A. No.
9
Q. All right. How does he get along with
10
your family?
11
A. Good. My mom's kind of a — she buys stuff
12
that's unnecessary. So like, she buys extra stuff,
13
like, you know, women do, if it's on sale they buy it
14
buy two or three or six of them. And Aaron is more like
15
a clean and neat person. So, you know, when we go over
16
there, because she lives right next to door to me.
17
So —
18
Q. Okay.
19
A. When we go over there, bring the baby over,
20
whatever, he complains about the clutter, about you
21
know, the mess. She's like leave my stuff alone. You
22
don't live hem. You know, I mean, they butt heads like
23
any in-laws do I guess with their daughter's boyfriend,
24
but they have learned to, I guess, love him.
25
Q. Do you guys have a date on when you're
Page 45
1
A. With the area code. Oh, my God. That's so
2
finny. I don't know why he did that. I mean, to brand
3
yourself, I guess. I don't have no tattoos.
4
Q. Okay. He's got the area code?
5
A. Yeah. It says Palm Beach and then 561.
6
Q. Okay. And as far as you know that tattoo
7
has no significance or no meaning?
8
A. Oh, well, he was born in Palm Beach and he was
9
born in Lake Worth. And i guess that's what it means to
10
him.
11
Q. Okay.
12
A. I think it's ninny.
13
Q. Because a lot of times gangs will?
14
A. No.
15
Q. Tattoos, area codes, and things like
16
that —
17
A. No. He is not —
18
Q. He is not part of a gang?
19
A. No, no.
20
Q. Because that's like an identification
21
thing?
22
A. No.
2 3
Q. So if you're in the same gang, you know
24
what area you're from or if you're in a different
2 5
gang, you know which turf.

11
you know, I don't — I was thinking about getting my
12
son's name on my back, but I even put off on that
13
because I don't like needles. And to do that your body

or funny or anything, but I mean, how has that
affected you long term?
A. I, I don't really !mow why he did it. I mean,

remember it was about. It was probably just the
littlest, dumbest, you know, thing, but I had to tell
his mom. That was the hardest thing.
Q. Okay. Do you avoid trying to talk about
it?
A. Yeah. Yeah. I avoid tying to talk about
anything emotional or like, you know, I mean like me and
Aaron talk about us but like pest stuff that like, you
know, I mean, people lose their lives all the time. I
mean, you know. I mean, I can't like stress my life
over it, like, you know, or with time with my son, like
precious, you know, good time that I could be spending
with him to think about him, and you know, like my past
issues that, you know, happened behind me. And I don't
know.
Q. Do you think about it when you walk by
where it happened?
A. Na really. I found the casing. I don't
know, like, there was from this -- it was from the same
gun, but you !mow I found it a while ago. L I still
have it. It's in my jewelry box but I don't look at it
or nothing. I don't talk his parents or his mom. I
don't even go around his friends or anything.
Q. Okay. Why not?
A. I mean, l don't know what to say to them, how
Page 56
1
Q. You said he was with me, so that's why I
2
was wondering —
3
A. Yeah, he's.
4
Q. — if you guys had moved in?
5
A. No. He was with me the night before, you
6
know. But when, before it happened, he left, you know.
7
I don't know. I don't think he called anybody just
8
hanging out with his friends or whatever. And I called
9
the friend that he was with that night and they said he
10
left and he was fine.
11
Q. Okay.
12
A. He was drunk but he was fine.
13
Q. And a little bit of an odd question
14
because again when you lose someone who was close to
15
you, that may be something you will never forget
16
but, how long do you think it significantly affected
17
you?
18
A. I don't know. It's — if I think about it, it
19
still affects me now. But I mean, like,' don't like,
20
you know, I just, it's a life that should not have been
21
lost, so that's why, you know.
22
Q. Over the last year if nobody brings him
23
up, how many times do you think about him?
24
A. Not that much.
25
Q. Okay. About a month, three months after
Page 55
he was with me and, you know, !don't really have — I
2
didn't do it. But I mean, in a way it makes me like
3
feel bad to have to tell all these people that I cared
about this person, you know, and that he died, and it's
5
not — because it's not fair to them.
6
Q. You main at the time you didn't want to go
7
around them or even today
A No. I seen--
9
Q. — you're still not going around than?
10
A No. I seen them afterwards, but only a
11
couple, I've only seen them a couple of days after, you
12
know, like the funeral and at, at you ;mow, at his morn's
13
house. But like after, I didn't really, you know, I
14
don't know if I should have, like, you know, but I don't
15
think that, you know, I was — they didn't really know,
16
want to hear from me. What do 1, you know, I had to
17
tell her, her baby died, her, her son, you know, it was
18
her youngest son. I had to tell her her baby died.
19
Q. How did she take the news?
20
A. Not well. She didn't like say anything to me
21
or was like mean to me, not at all. I just, you know.
22
Q. Was he living with you at the time or...
23

nothing that morning. We were out there until like 12.

rock. But on top of that they take the glass and put it

on the, use it as, I guess, with the rocks or whatever
5
that are broken up on the ground There is a whole

Q. And when you had your son, did anybody
17
tell you were anemic or...

Q. But it's solid?
A. Yeah. It's, it's like, little chunks.
Q. Okay.

pills, but they made me sick also. I was sick through

3
throughout my whole pregnancy with him.

pregnancy.

like a couple of pills or whatever for when i started my
period.
But then when i became like 15 or 16, they

heaviness and the cramps and stuff and all that
other stuff. So, I got it, the birth control for

14
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder which is kind of a
15

A. I mean, I get my normal, get away from me and,
20
you know but I don't like snap or have like a breakdown
21
or you know, like, you know, start freaking out for

Lice, you know, like because of the salt on the ground
23
or like, youlmow, there is a dish, you know. I mean, I

14
A. Learning Skills or something.
15
Q. Learning Skills or Lorraine Scales?
16
A. Learning Skills.
17
Q. Learning Skills. Do you think the
18
accident was partly why you were using the drugs and
19
was there —
20
A. I don't think so. I don't — I just didn't go
21
on the interstate because of the accident and then like
22
it would cause me — because if I wanted to use drugs, I
23
would have taken the prescription that they were tying
24
to give me in the first place. You know, that would
25
make sense.
1
A. 1 guess you could say that.
2
Q. And again I don't want to put words in
3
your mouth. So if I say something that is not
4
right —
5
A. I mean —
6
Q. — just let me know.
7
A. That's bow it started. That's how, you know,
8
that's bow I got introduced to it. I was hanging out
9
and they were like, hey, you know, you want to come over
10
here, we're all, you know, hanging out, we're all —
11
that's how it shifted and then, now, then, I guess
12
started to like the way it felt more than the way I felt
13
normally. You know. I guess it's different. It was a
14
home away from home, you know, like in my own head.
15
Q. Ootcha. While we're talking about it, get
16
a little more, why don't we do the substance history
17
now. How old were you when you first had something
18
to drink?
19
A. I'm going to try, I think I was 13 when I
20
first started. I don't really like drinking.
21
Q. At your most how much have you had?
22
A. To drink? Like three cups. Like I said, I
23
have a weak stomach. I don't, thinking is not really...
24
Q. Have you ever developed tolerance to
25
alcohol, meaning you needed to drink more to get the
Page 75
1
Q. Well, I thought you said the program was a
2
dual program?
3
A. Yeah. But I was, I started my substance abuse
4
after that. And I don't know if it had, I don't think
5
it had anything to do with that. Oust think it had to
6
do with the place and the time. You know, some kids 1
7
guess try to fit in at first and then it becomes you
8
know, part of life, or...
9
Q. Okay.
10
A. Ora habit.
11
Q. So, using the drugs wasn't related to what
12
happened?
13
A. I don't think —
14
Q. — as part the accident?
15
A. — I was self-medicating because of my
16
accident.
17
Q. You don't thing so?
18
A. No. Because, I don't think. So but even then
19
it was not like I was driving or, you how.
20
Q Right
21
A. Where I'm on the interstate or nothing.
22
Q. No, DUI's or anything?
23
A. Yeah, because you know. I was just —
24
Q. So, substance use was mostly kind of fit
25
in with the people you were hanging out with?
Page 77

same effects?

11
A. I had — what's today? Todays were in
12
November, right?
13
Q.
14
A. Inn& have had -- I had beer on

19 •
A. Thirty-first. It was Halloween.
20
Q. Halloween.
21
A. After my trick or treating, and yeah, I was
22
already pooped out and ready to go outside. Kids and
23
candy don't work. They don't. Knocking on strangers'
24
doors so, yeah, I needed it. But yeah, like I said, I
2 5
don't really have to drink, so I like, I don't even

10
1 could wait to go home and like give him a candy, and
11
flip through it, or like switch his candy for my candy
12
or something, you know. It didn't work that way. It
13
was like he wants it now. And he just started learning,

you know, words like yes, no. Like he knows what it
15
means, tells me, you know, very demanding.

17
point of my using, but I mean, it wasn't like1caused

it or like, you know, I had anything to do with It. 1
19
wasn't even like coming back from somebodys house. I
20

BY DR. HALL:
2
Q. All right. I have another test here for
3
you. It's similar to the other one. And this is
4
the MMPI. It's lightly longer. I'll read the
5
instructions to you here: This inventory consists
6
of numbered statements. Read each statement and
7
decide whether it is true as applied to you, or
8
false as applied to you.
9
You are to mark your answers on the answer
10
sheet you have. Look at the example of the answer
11
sheet shown at the right. So, again, if it's true,
12
you bubble in true; false, bubble in false.
13
If a statement is true or mostly true as
14
applied to you, blacken the circle marked T. If a
15
statement is false or not usually true as applied to
16
you, blacken the circle marked F. If a statement
17
does not apply to you or if it is something that you
18
don't know about, make no mark on the answer sheet,
19
but try to give a response to every statement.
20
Remember to give your own opinion of yourself.
21
In marking your answers on the answer
22
sheet, be sure that the number of the statement
23
agrees with the number on the answer sheet. Make
24
your marks heavy in black. Erase completely any
25
answers you wish to change. Do not make any marks
1
morning and I have a headache.

Q. Ileadache. Okay. Have you taken any
3
medicines or anything today or anything that --

10
Q. Okay. Is any of this nerves related to
11.
coming to see me?
12
A. Yeah, I almost got into an accident on the way
13

14
Q. Okay. Were you driving or someone else
15
driving?
16
A. No, I was driving.
17
Q. Okay. Again, if there's things going on
18
or you're having trouble, let me !mow. Or if you
19
don't understand something I ask or if you need me
20
to slow down, or as again, this, this isn't an
21
endurance competition. Anything we can do to make
22
it more comfortable for you, then let me know.
23
Okay?
24
A. Yeah.

A. We both got arrested and there was a bag of
weed and he took, it was his or he said it was his or

I was pregnant with my son, and I got out
like a month later. And well, I think all charges
were dropped. I'm not sure. I don't know if they
extended more of my probation, or I think they might
have extended my house west. I'm not sure.
Q. Okay. Are you still on probation, or is
that all done?
A. No, I'm all done.
Q. Okay. How was the experience in jail?
A. Not very good.
Q. Okay. What happened?
A. Nothing. I was 16,17 with a bunch of grown
women.
Q. Okay. So, this all happened when you were
under 18?
A. Yeah. But I was charged as an adult, so...
Q. Okay. Why was that?
A. My lawyer was trying to gel me -- I was —
when I first got arrested, I was sitting in the
detention center, and they were waiting for court or to
figure out what was going to happen. And so he, I
guess, made some kind of arrangements to charge me as an
adult to send me to Gun Club, so then I can get bonded
out and all that other good stuff
Q. Okay. So it was a legal strategy instead

8
Q. Did you think about calling the police?

A. The only reason that this is even going on is

me if — I think she called me one time and asked me if
I wanted to go back, and I like, hung up on her and told
her no or like, you know, like, I even talked to her. I
told her no and hung up. I was just...
Q. Okay. How do you think this episode has
affected you?
A. I don't know. I mean, getting out of, you
know, the therapist's office, and I went to a
after
my program I was — they sent me to Columbia because
they said I was trying to kill myself or hurt myself or
something. I mean, I've attempted, but it was never
like, you know, had to go to the hospital for it. Never
really, it was more like self-mutilating instead of like
suicide. But it didn't happen in my program. It didn't
even happen around then. It was before then, but I had
a history of it, so they sent me to Columbia.

4
trying to forget.

Q. And I don't want to know anything that you
6
have discussed with your lawyers, but without
7
getting into those conversations, why did you decide
8
to join the lawsuit?
9
A. Because ifs not fair. It's not fair that he
10
like does this to people, like to little girls. 1, I
11
don't even know what 1 would do if my son was ever hurt
12
in any kind of way like, you know, any kind of child
13
abuse, neglect is wrong. And it's not even like, you
14
know, I was looking for, you know, something. I don't
15

16
had to tell somebody.

Q. Okay. Were you on both at the same time
2
er did you scan ono and then the other?
3
A. I think I was on both at the same time. I'm
4
not really sure.
5
Q. Okay. So if I put down possibly both, you
6
think that's more correct than...
7
A. Yeah.
8
Q. Seroquel usually makes people tired.
9
Prozac usually actually gives people a little
10
energy. So that's why I was wondering if you were
11
on both at the same time or starting one than the
12
other.
13
A. Yeah, that's why, I don't really know because
14
I know Prozac was for the depression and then the
15
Seroquel was for like my anxiety or whatever. That's
16
what it was supposed to be for. But for like, you know,
17
when I slept and I had my dreams or like when I was, you
18
know, on the street and was like freaking out in a car
19
because I thought we were going to get into an accident
20
or something.
21
Q. How old were you when you were prescribed
22

day, and I only went to her one time. And I think there
was another lady. I don't remember, I don't even
remember her name. That person — my program had thel7
own therapist. I was court ordered a therapist by my
probation. And that was the longest I've ever been at
probation, or at therapy only because it was court
ordered. So, I've never had, like, therapists long
enough to know their name or like know where their
office is at, or stuff like that.
Q. So you went to -- it sounds like two or
three just one time?
A. I went, yeah, I went to a couple like one time
Q. What age did you start doing that?
A. Little bit after my accident. It was when my
mom started to try to take me.
Q. Did the car accident happen before Epstein
or after Epstein?
A. I think it was after.
Q. Do you remember the name of your court
ordered therapist?
A. Nibs (phonetic) something. I don't remember
her last name.
Q. Okay. How long did you see her?
A. Like a couple of months, maybe like four or

feel.
2
Q. Did the therapist know about Epstein?
3
A. No. I never told anybody.
4
Q. What did the therapist think the
5
depression was related to?
6
A. I don't know because I didn't — I think that
1
was before I went to my program, so it wasn't like they
8
knew that I had a ding problem or something. They just
9
thought, I guess, I was troubled or something. I don't
10
know because I never really talked to them.
11
Q. Okay. Do you remember the name of that
12
therapist?
13
A. No, I remember the place. It's called
14
Multilingual or something. It's on Palm Beach Lakes.
15
Q. Okay. How many times did you go?
16
A. Couple of times.
17
Q. Now, the Prozac and Seroquel, I know you
18
said you didn't talk it long. Aro we talking like a
19
wed, a month?
20
A. Maybe a couple of months. I don't really
21
remember.
22
Q. Okay. And besides Multilingual, apart
23
from the program did you see anyone else?
24
A. There's was a therapist that, before, I don't

Q. Did she help?
A. She was nice. I was pregnant, so she helped
me try to work on, you know, becoming a new mom and
whatever.
Q. Okay. Had you tried Xanax and things like
that before meeting Epstein?
A. No.
Q. Was there anything — did he have any
scars, tattoos, any deformities?
A. Who?
Q. Epstein.
A. I don't really remember. .1 mean, I don't
think he had any tattoos or nothing, but like scars or
like, you know.
Q. Any deformities of any kind?
A. I don't remember. I know he didn't have no
tattoos, but I don't really remember.
Q. Were you ever on any other meds beside the
Prom and Seroquel?
A. No.
Q. I think you had mentioned something about
Columbia Hospital. What happened there?

program, they don't let you talk to your family tmtil
2
you're on like, you know, past your first and second

4
you can't talk to your fatuity until you're — youlmow,
5
you're ready to — you know, admit you have a problem or
6
whatever. So I was already in there like almost ■
7
month, and they were telling me I couldn't talk to my
8
parents about, you know, like them trying to court order
9
me to stay in this program and all this other stuff.
10
So, you know, I, I probably — well, I
11
know I said some things that I probably have
12
shouldn't, but they took it as my trying to like
13
hurt myself or wanting to kill myself and then they
14
sent me to Columbia.
15
Q. What did you say?
16
A. I don't really remember. I was angry. I was,
17
you know, I wanted to go home. I didn't want to be
18
there no more. I wanted to see my family so...
19
Q. How did you do being kind of held against
20
your will there?
21
A. I, I didn't — I refused treatment_ I just

13
you know, has this thing with the judge or, you know,
14
like that, you know.
15
Q. Now, I apologize. I thought I miss, I
16
thought you said earlier that you were in a program
17
while you were under court order or in detention or
18
something?

A. Well, no, they were hying to court order me
13
to go to it. My mom -- the program, sane kind of
14
private program or something. So they told my mom that
15
she had to put some kind of down payment of like 5,000
16
or like 3,000 or something, so I could go to the
17
program, and then pay them every month a certain amount
18
or something. It was like a $20,000 program and...
19
Q. Okay. So, this was something your parents
20
were doing to try to get you help?
21
A. Yes.
22
Q. Okay.

depressed like.
Q. Okay. So stuck in a rut, sad state of
mind. How long do you think you felt that way for?

I, I don't know, I guess you could say I didn't have —
you know, like if I had a boyfriend, if I got one, it
didn't really last tomb actually, you know, like even
be an actual couple. So I think I didn't have really
good things with guys. They were just like, you know.
I didn't have good relationships with men
or, you know, Iliad all right with friends but like,
I didn't get along with too many girls because —
Page 147

Q. Okay. So you were looking for somebody
3

5
Q. And then fad out they had girlfriends or
6
other friends?
7
A. Yeah. I didn't really have too great a, you
8
know, relationships with guys. That's why I never
9
really did anything with them is because, you know, it
10
was like, you could never really trust them, trust what
11
they would say or what would happen or, you know.
12
Q. And how do you and Aaron get along with
13
all that?
14
A. Now we're a lot better. I mean, Aaron is like
15
my best Mend. Like I can tell him anything and we
16
hang out all the tint. Say, like we have friends that
17
like, you know, I hang out with the guy's girlfriend and
18
he hangs out with the guy or whatever. And then they
19
have their kids or whatever and they hang out with our
20
kids.
21.
But you know, it's more like a family, you
22
know, like a play date kind of thing, you know. Me
23
and Aaron are more like our own friends. Like, you
24
know, we hang out with each other and, you know, I
25
don't — I've never had that problem with him lying

it's not that we don't love each other. its that, you
know, like I just, I feel like sex has gotten lace, you
know, like, it becomes more of like, you know, hey,
let's; do you want to do it or what? Or you know, like
instead of being like a spontaneous type of, you know —
I don't know. It's not that I don't love him or
anything, or that I'm looking for something else. It's
just like I'm not that interested in it, you know. Like
I had a long day and like, I'm just, you know, Pm
tired. I don't, you know, feel like doing it You
know.
Q. When you are intimate, are you able to

if that's on a good week.
Q. Okay.
A. I guess that's why I don't have no fetishes or
like experience like, you know, all that. I don't even

5
sleep and get dinner ready. Because, you know I have to
6
do all that when I got home.
7
So, you 'mow, like I guess it's better
8
than it could be, because, you know, it could be
9
worse. We could not see each other at all and like
10
work all the time and only see each other at night
11
and fall asleep, you know, together.

the door. It's like, he sees somebody or he sees
something, he runs for it. He don't walk. He runs.

get him to eat fruits, but vegetables rarely. I have to
mix it with food. And i have to like trick him. So, he
eats pasta. I can get him to eat spaghetti with the
sauce and stuff, but he will pick out like the chunks of
tomatoes and the onion. He will just, like, throw it on

Q. Okay.
2
A. I don't know about under stress only because,
3
you know, like I probably need a second opinion or
4
somebody to like see what they thing about it but other
5
than that, fine.
6
Q. But you generally are, you make decisions,
7
you're a decisive person?
8
A. Yeah, in my house, yeah. I make most of the
9
decisions.
10
Q. How are you with attendance? I mean, I
11
you're not actively working. but i mean if you
12

13
think you could make it or do you think you would be
14

15
A. No, I would be there.
16
Q. Okay. How are you with keeping schedules?
17
A. Good.
18
Q. Okay. Finishing things you start?
19
A. If ifs stuff to do with the house, like i

21
finish it. But 1 mean stuff like that, like stuff that
22
has to do with me, I don't really finish too much.
23
Q. Okay.
24
A. But like, to do with the house or, you know —
25
Q. Okay. So something that needs to get
Page 196
1
yell at people when they cut me off, but it doesn't go
2
to like me trying to chase them down or getting out of
3
my car like, you know.
4
Q. Okay. I know you're not actively working
5
but how do you think you do with working with
6
supervisors or peers?
7
A. All right, I guess. When I was training at
8
Little Caesars, I was fine, but they just didn't give me
9
the job. So it wasn't like, you know, I had bad
10
workmen's skills or whatever. I just was too short for
11
the register they told me.
12
Q. They could use a stool if they wanted to
13
but, I guess —
14
A. Yeah. I asked them that. They-
15
Q. Okay.
16
A. it would have gotten in the way.
17

24
A. Yeah.
25
Q. I think I forgot to ask earlier, was DCF
Page 195
1
done, gets done?
2
A. Yeah, it gets done.
2
3
Q. But a project kind of for yourself --
3
4
A. Yeah, its a little —
4
5
Q. it may get placed —
5
6
A. Yeah. Its a little —
6
7
Q.
in the background.
7
8
A. Yeah, it's a slow but i get around to it
9
sometimes.
9
10
Q. How are you with handling criticism?
10
11
A. I'm all right, l guess. I try - i make new
11
12
foods so I, you blow, i get people to try it. It
12
13
doesn't always come out as great as I'd like it. So, I
13
14
don't really like, you know, care about it. It doesn't
14
15
really bother me.
15
16
Q. Do you have any problems with anger or
16
17
rage?
17
18
A. Not, no, no — I may be angry, but it's not
18
19
like I start breaking stuff or punching things or you
19
20
know, saying very mean things. I mean, I get mad but --
20
21
Q. You get angry but you don't lose control
21
22
or do things you regret?
22
23
A. Yeah, no, not at all.
23
24
Q. Any issues with road rage or
24
25
A. No, not really. I mean, i don't —I kind of
25
Page 197
ever involved with your family?
A. One time they were called. They, my mom had a
problem with them, but that's it. It was like they did
a little investigation. Like they, they said my parents
were getting high or something. So then they took some
urine and then they came back one time to ask me how I
was doing, and that's it. I think that's where the
investigation ended or whatever.
Q. Okay. Anyone close in your life besides
the boyfriend we talked about pass away?
A. I found my grandma in her house. She had a
heart attack
Q. How was that for you?
A. Pretty hard. i have never seen a dead body
and you know, other than lames, but you know.
Q. How old were you when it happened?
A. I was 16 when my grandmother died.
Q. Again when you lose a loved one, I mean,
it's maybe something you never forget but how long
do you think it greatly affected you for?
A. Maybe like a month, because, you know, I know
my grandma, like as she — we took, my mom took good
care of her. You know, she like — my grandma didn't
have like very good school skills. She didn't know how
to like use a phone to write her name or nothing. So,
