1 MR. FAVISH: -- in the paragraph right under
2 that headnote section 3, you cite the Fiske report, you
3 cite Starr's report, and you talk about this matter
4 already being the subject of exhaustive investigations.
5 And as I point out in my papers, those investigations
6 are just totally untrustworthy.
7 I mean here you have a report that says that
8 Mr. Foster drove himself to the park in his grey car,
9 parked it in the parking lot, walked into the woods and
10 killed himself. The best evidence we have is that he
11 was certainly dead by 4:30 that afternoon. It was a
12 Tuesday afternoon. There are at least four known
13 witnesses who were in that parking lot between 4:30 and
14 just before 6:00 p.m., at a time when Mr. Foster was
15 dead, according to the best evidence we have. None of
16 them saw a grey car in that parking lot; they saw a
17 brown car. End of issue, as far as I'm concerned, with
18 regard to the trustworthiness of these records.
19 Mr. Starr tells us that the first of these
20 witnesses reported seeing a brown car. As to the next
21 three witnesses, Mr. Starr doesn't tell us what color
22 car they reported seeing. But we have those documents,
23 the underlying FBI, park police, so that's my problem,
24 your Honor. I'm just dealing with the facts and the
25 law, and that's all I want to guide this determination.
