I nodded at Yuki as I went through the gate, then continued to the witness box, where I placed my hand on the Bible and swore to tell the whole truth, so help me God

When I was seated, my dear friend Yuki approached me

She askedI had been with the SFPD, what department, how many coht in question

Yuki is a fast talker, but I’m used to her pace She snapped out the questions, and I answered without hesitation or embellishment

She said, “Sergeant Boxer, were you working at 7:23 pht of the Sci-Tron incident?”

I said “No, I was having dinner with my husband in a restaurant on Pier 9 directly opposite Pier 15 We had a clear view of Sci-Tron”

She askedwith ouron the explosion, our departure from the restaurant, and our race to the scene a short way up the street

I said, “Croere fleeing the site of the bo at the edge of the sidewalk My husband—his naency support, and I aiting with hi stock-still in thecrowd”

“Do you see that man in the room now?”

“Yes I saw the defendant”

“Okay,” Yuki said “Please tell the jury what happened next”

I recalledto Grant, and I repeated what I had said to him, what he had said to me

“I took him to be a witness and I asked hi with me, and we both heard Mr Grant take full and individual credit for blowing up the museum

“He told me that he hadn’t simply witnessed the explosion, he had created it,” I told the court “He said that it was beautiful and that he awarded himself an A-plus with extra points for the sunset”

“And did you find this answer believable?”
