Martinez heats up cross-examination of Chrisman, ex-cop who calls dead victim ‘irrational’ because of curse words

Juan Martinez: “This is when he – according to you – is cursing, right? You don’t find that offensive, do you?”

Defendant R. Chrisman: “No.”

Juan Martinez: “In fact, you’ve cursed yourself before, haven’t you? It’s something that many – part of the general lexicon – or part of people’s vocabularies, correct?”

Defendant R. Chrisman: “Yes.”

Juan Martinez: “That doesn’t mean he was being aggressive, does it? At that point, he was just saying things to you, wasn’t he?”

Defendant R. Chrisman: “He wasn’t being aggressive, advancing, he wasn’t grabbing or throwing anything.”

Juan Martinez: “He may have been saying ‘get the fuck out of my trailer’, right?” –

Defendant R. Chrisman: “Yes.”

Juan Martinez: “He may have been saying ‘where the fuck is the search warrant?’, right? Things like that, right?”

Defendant R. Chrisman: “Yes.”

Juan Martinez: “And you told him, ‘I don’t need no fuckin’ search warrant’, didn’t you tell him that?”

Defendant R. Chrisman: “No I did not.”

Juan Martinez: “You didn’t use the word motherfucker?’
