Q.
Those two?

A. Yes.


Q.
Sam and Alphonso?
A.
That is right.
Q.
And they didn’t work the same time, they worked
shifts?
A.
Different shifts, yeah.
Q.
And your instructions to them were what?
A.
Don’t let her hurt herself.
And if the girls
inside -— if it gets violent or the girls inside start to
get hurt, you are going to have to help them. That is it.
 
Q.
How were they going to handle the potential
problem that if she wanted to leave the place and she’s
not of sound mind? I’m not suggesting that letting her
leave would be a bad or good thing, I’m just —— how was
that going to be handled?
 
A.
The only thing I can say, I mean, that is not
anything I specifically instructed them on, right, but it
would have been understood and I can see it would be
clearly understood if she would step out into the street
or step out into —— try to leave without her clothes on or
something like that, they would actually attempt to
persuade her to go back into the room. I expect that
would be the case. And gentle persuasion is the general
order that came on that point, without force.
