Deputy DA: Can you describe what he was doing when you saw him? Set the scene, if you will.
Miss Stone: Yes. He was in the kitchen, working on the cabinets—my mother hired him to help renovate the kitchen. She was upstairs, folding laundry.
Deputy DA: Where exactly upstairs?
Miss Stone: In her room.
Deputy DA: What room?
Miss Stone: Bedroom.
Deputy DA: Did you talk to Mr. Cohen when you entered the house?
Miss Stone: No.
Deputy DA: How did you know he was in the kitchen?
Miss Stone: The way the house is laid out—you can see the kitchen when you walk into the front door.
Deputy DA: So you did not go into the kitchen?
Miss Stone: Not then, no.
Deputy DA: Where did you go?
Miss Stone: I went upstairs to find my mom.
Deputy DA: What was the nature of your visit to her?
Miss Stone: I wanted to talk to her about a few things with my house.
Deputy DA: What specifically?
Miss Stone: I’d recently discovered termites, so I wanted to talk to her about getting that fixed.
Deputy DA: Does your mother know how to exterminate termites?
Miss Stone: No, I needed—was requesting—her help with paying for it.
Deputy DA: Ah, I see. Termite treatment can be very expensive, I understand. Did your mother seem different in any way, during this visit?
Miss Stone: No.
Deputy DA: She didn’t seem particularly nervous, or scared, or uneasy?
Miss Stone: No.
Deputy DA: Distracted, maybe? Like something was on her mind?
Miss Stone: No.
Deputy DA: Do you remember what she was wearing that day?
Miss Stone: Yes. A house dress. Long. She has—had—a lot of those.
Deputy DA: What color dress was she wearing that day?
Miss Stone: White, with daisy prints all over it.
