MR. LALLY: Good morning, Miss Albert. Now, with reference to — you were asked a question about 67 calls over a period from January — oh, sorry — February to September, correct?

3 1:14:41

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

4 1:14:41

MR. LALLY: That's about 7 months. Is that right?

5 1:14:44
6 1:14:44

MR. LALLY: And roughly about 210 days or so?

7 1:14:47
8 1:14:48

MR. LALLY: Do you have other friends besides McCabe?

9 1:14:51
10 1:14:51

MR. LALLY: And versus some of your other friends, as far as those phone calls — 67 times over 210 days — is that more, less, or on average?

11 1:15:03

MS. ALBERT: Less.

12 1:15:04

MR. LALLY: And at no point in time did you speak to McCabe that you would call about this case, or talk to Trooper Proctor outside of that interview, correct?

13 1:15:16

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

14 1:15:16

MR. LALLY: In the interview that you had with Trooper Proctor, there was another Trooper present, correct?

15 1:15:23
16 1:15:23

MR. LALLY: And you were just asked some questions about meeting with some other Troopers this year, in 2024, correct?

17 1:15:31

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

18 1:15:32

MR. LALLY: And none of those Troopers was Trooper Proctor, correct?

19 1:15:35

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

20 1:15:36

MR. LALLY: That also wasn't the Trooper that was with Trooper Proctor when he spoke to you, correct? And they asked you questions. You had at least two interviews with them, is that correct?

21 1:15:49

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

22 1:15:49

MR. LALLY: And you voluntarily went to those interviews?

23 1:15:52

MR. LALLY: You answered their questions?

25 1:15:54
26 1:15:55

MR. LALLY: They asked for your phone?

27 1:15:57

MS. ALBERT: Yes. When I was sitting there, they looked through my phone.

28 1:16:01

MR. LALLY: So they asked for your phone, you provided your phone?

29 1:16:06

MS. ALBERT: Yes, voluntarily.

30 1:16:09

MR. LALLY: Nobody threatened you with a search warrant or anything like that?

31 1:16:27
32 1:16:29

MR. LALLY: You were asked some questions about timing, and I promise there's no math I'm asking in this, but you've had to walk outside when it's cold outside, correct?

33 1:16:29
34 1:16:29

MR. LALLY: You tend to walk faster or slower when it's cold outside?

35 1:16:29

MS. ALBERT: Faster. Me personally.

36 1:16:31

MR. LALLY: When you went over to your in-laws' house on the morning of January 29th to drop off donuts for your nephew, you weren't expecting to go inside, correct?

37 1:16:50

MS. ALBERT: Correct.

38 1:16:51

MR. LALLY: You weren't expecting to be standing around talking to people about a friend of yours potentially having died at that point?

39 1:17:05
40 1:17:05

MR. LALLY: Nothing further.

41 1:17:07

MR. YANNETTI: May we approach?
