THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE ... - The Putnam Pit

1 Gibson's being forced to testify". There was a point at
2 the trial that the defense tried to call me as a witness
3 in their case for some unknown reason.
4 "How we would feel if Gibson were committed to a
5 psychiatric hospital, driven in one of Sheriff Jerry
6 Abston's cars, two weeks before the trial, just before he
7 was to testify about setting up Byron Looper." I'm not
8 sure, except it may refer to a gentleman named John Wayne
9 Dedmon, who said that he had conspired with Looper to set
10 me up.
11 "How we would feel if we had been fed lies?"
12 MR. HARRIS: I'm going to object and move to
13 strike that as hearsay as to what John Wayne Dedmon said.
14 That statement should be stricken.
15 WITNESS: John Wayne Deadmon said it in...
16 MR. DUFFY: (Interposing) It's not offered
17 for the truth.
18 WITNESS: "How we would feel about
19 corruption, conniving and justice disregarded. How we
20 would feel about political use of the criminal justice
21 system." Some theory that the Looper prosecution for the
22 murder of Senator Burks was political.
23 MR. HARRIS: And I'm going to object to this
24 speculation as to his testimony as to what... how Bill
25 Gibson interprets this.
