[HOY] Ms. Wilken, I'm Robert Hoy,
the attorney representing Mr. Knodel.
This is a deposition in which
I will ask you questions,
and you must answer them
truthfully unless your attorney
tells you clearly
and directly not to answer.
[VOICE MUFFLED]
Although no judge is present,
this is a formal legal proceeding,
and just like testifying in court,
you're under the same legal
obligation to tell the truth,
the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
If you do not understand
any of my questions,
feel free to say so,
and I will rephrase it.
Before the deposition
can be used in court,
you will have the opportunity
to read it over
and correct any mistakes.
Do you understand this?
[MAGGIE] Yes.
[HOY] Let me show you what's
been marked as Exhibit Nine.
Do you recognize that?
Again, please say your answer
for the record.
Yes.
[HOY] During the course
of the investigation,
did Special Agent Mike Ness ask you
to draw this picture?
Yes.
[HOY] Which is of the Knodel
home as you recalled it?
Yes.
What was the occasion that you
were at the Knodels' home?
His wife was out of town.
[HOY] So, why were you there?
Aaron invited me.
Did you tell any of your friends
at the time
that you were going there?
Billie Dunton, Heather Schmidt, Snooka?
Snokla.
Correct. "Snokel."
And what, for the record,
is her last name?
Solomon.
[AARON] No.
Hmm?
That's wrong.
You think her last name is Solomon?
- Apparently, it's not.
- [HOY] I don't understand.
Well, I'm just saying
your client said that
that that's not her last name, so
You guys don't need to get into that.
- Just answer my question.
- Uh, then I don't know.
Her last name. I don't know.
- [HOY] Okay.
- Okay.
Did you tell any of your friends
that you were going there?
No.
[HOY] Did you tell anybody
that you'd been there?
No.
Let's talk about count three
for a moment.
Count three is alleged
to have taken place
at the Knodel residence.
Can you tell me how it took place
there was a sexual
encounter?
I-I got there around, um,
- eight o'clock.

[HOY] Ms. Wilken, I'm Robert Hoy,
the attorney representing Mr. Knodel.
This is a deposition in which
I will ask you questions,
and you must answer them
truthfully unless your attorney
tells you clearly
and directly not to answer.
[VOICE MUFFLED]
Although no judge is present,
this is a formal legal proceeding,
and just like testifying in court,
you're under the same legal
obligation to tell the truth,
the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
If you do not understand
any of my questions,
feel free to say so,
and I will rephrase it.
Before the deposition
can be used in court,
you will have the opportunity
to read it over
and correct any mistakes.
Do you understand this?
[MAGGIE] Yes.
[HOY] Let me show you what's
been marked as Exhibit Nine.
Do you recognize that?
Again, please say your answer
for the record.
Yes.
[HOY] During the course
of the investigation,
did Special Agent Mike Ness ask you
to draw this picture?
Yes.
[HOY] Which is of the Knodel
home as you recalled it?
Yes.
What was the occasion that you
were at the Knodels' home?
His wife was out of town.
[HOY] So, why were you there?
Aaron invited me.
Did you tell any of your friends
at the time
that you were going there?
Billie Dunton, Heather Schmidt, Snooka?
Snokla.
Correct. "Snokel."
And what, for the record,
is her last name?
Solomon.
[AARON] No.
Hmm?
That's wrong.
You think her last name is Solomon?
- Apparently, it's not.
- [HOY] I don't understand.
Well, I'm just saying
your client said that
that that's not her last name, so
You guys don't need to get into that.
- Just answer my question.
- Uh, then I don't know.
Her last name. I don't know.
- [HOY] Okay.
- Okay.
Did you tell any of your friends
that you were going there?
No.
[HOY] Did you tell anybody
that you'd been there?
No.
Let's talk about count three
for a moment.
Count three is alleged
to have taken place
at the Knodel residence.
Can you tell me how it took place
there was a sexual
encounter?
