“What did he say when he asked you?”
“He said he needed a gun because some guys were picking on him. I felt bad for him. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say things like that. But I did feel bad for him.”
“Tell us about buying the gun.”
“It was forty bucks.”
“Where did you buy it?”
“I drove to Compton and bought it in a park.”
“And why did you go to Compton?”
“Larry wanted a gun that couldn’t be traced.”
“And this was how long before the murder?”
“Couple weeks.”
There it was, twice. I skipped down to the cross examination to see if Larry’s attorney did anything with that. The defense attorney asked:
“You testified that you bought the gun in a park in Compton. Why did you go there?”
“To buy a gun.”
“Yes, but how did you know to go to Compton?”
“I guess I heard a rumor.”
“The person you bought the gun from, what did he look like?”
“He was, I guess, about twenty, skinny—”
“Black.”
“Um, yes, black.”
“So, you went to a black neighborhood to buy an illegal gun.”
“Yes.”
“Do you remember the young man’s name?”
“He didn’t tell me.”
“Not even a first name?”
“No.”
“Did the police take you back to the park to look for him?”
“No.”
“Can you tell us exactly where the park is?”
“It’s in Compton.”
“Where in Compton?”
