Transcript of Brian Higgins's sworn testimony at a June 1, 2023 hearing.
About
Used in cross-examination to revisit four areas of Higgins's prior testimony: his qualified account of a tall, dark-haired male briefly entering the Albert house; phone records reflecting a one-second incoming call from Brian Albert at 2:22:35 a.m. and a 22-second return call 17 seconds later, which Higgins said he did not recall; whether he relayed information about a taillight fragment between Chief Berkowitz and Brian Albert, where Higgins acknowledged his prior words but testified at trial that the information came to him from both men and he gave it to neither; and his statement, "I made sure that somebody couldn't put it in their phone." On the last topic, the defense advanced a theory that Higgins removed or damaged a SIM card and disposed of the phone. Higgins testified that he threw the phone away, said SIM removal was possible, and denied the separate-dumpster account; the exchange does not resolve whether the SIM was destroyed or why.
