Majors sounded beyond concerned, distraught, worried, Ruspoli testified.
Ive never heard him like the way he was on that call.
It was, he said, loud from the moment it started but progressively louder as it went on.
The agent said that Majors tone of voice was rushed theres fear in it.
He added, Stricken, fear, concerned, but the judge struck that portion of the answer.
Ruspoli denied that that was the case, explaining that his compensation was governed by a pre-existing contract.
Such a Hail Mary is a standard tactic in such trials.
In late October, Jabbari presented herself at a NYPD precinct station and was arrested.
Majors himself arrived at court before 9 a.m.
He wore a dark gray suit and a dark blue patterned tie into the courtroom.
It was unclear as of today whether developments in the trial have made Majors testimony more likely.
Theyve heard from doctors, trauma experts and more.
Im a great man … doing great things, Majors said on the recording.
The woman that supports me …needs to be a great woman and make sacrifices.
The trial was projected to last about two weeks when opening statements were presented on Dec. 4.
Court sources indicate that they believe that schedule will still stand.
