Leonard Cohen And The Prosecutor Lie About A Dallas FBI Investigation Into The Aryan Nation -
Somehow It Is Blamed On Kelley Lynch; Leonard Cohen Will Say Anything On The Stand
Streeter: ... Do you recall hearing mention of the Aryan Nation in that voice mail message? Cohen: Yes, I heard the mention of the Aryan Nation. Streeter: What is your faith, Mr. Cohen? Kelly: Objection ... relevance. Court: Overruled. Cohen: I’m a Jew. Streeter: ... Had Ms. Lynch ... either in voice mail messages or in emails, made reference to the Aryan Nation? Kelly: Objection; 352. May we have a sidebar. Court: We can have a sidebar, but it will be brief.
Sidebar: Court: I don’t think I need to hear argument. The element of the crime under 653 says the communications be sent with a specific intent to annoy and harass. This aspect of the call is a critical element of the crime. I meant the questioning is critical to the element of the crime. Kelly: ... I have a good faith belief based on what Ms. Streeter showed me beforehand the email she’s referring to right now was made in 2008 which was not part of the crime. Court: But it still goes to intent. It still reflects on the intent of the person in making this reference in this email, in this voice mail. Streeter: That’s the people’s position. (RT 131) Kelly: And ... the voice mail says that Aryan Nation is after her son. Court: You can argue that. Thank you. (RT 132) Streeter: Looking at People’s 14 [February 17, 2008 email], was there any mention of the Aryan Nation or Brotherhood in that email, Mr. Cohen? Cohen: In this email, yes, Ma’am, there is. (RT 133) Kelly: As per the rule of completeness, I ask that the context be stated. Court: I’m not sure I understand. Kelly: Counsel just picked and chose one word from an email without any context. I think per the rules of completeness -- Court: On cross-examination you can bring out whatever you wish. Streeter: Now, when Ms. Lynch was in your employ, did you -- did you ever celebrate any Jewish holy days and invite Ms. Lynch to those celebrations? Streeter: Yes. Our family celebrates the Sabbath on Friday Night,
and Ms. Lynch was often invited to that evening ... Streeter: And are you saying that for the entire 15 years every -- you would celebrate every Sabbath? Cohen: We occasionally missed, some of us were out of town. More or less is the custom of the family. Streeter: And did you ever express to Ms. Lynch how important your Jewish faith was to her? Cohen: I think she was well aware of that. Streeter: ... how did it feel to get an email from Ms. Lynch that mentioned the Aryan Nation sent to you? Cohen: Well, I understood the implied threat.. Kelly: Objection; speculation. Court: Overruled. It’s -- the witness is testifying as to his own objective feeling in that. (RT 134) Cohen: ... I felt whenever the Aryan Nation entered into her discourse, it was -- it was a sense of intended menace. Kelly: Objection ... Court: Overruled. Kelly: Calls for speculation. It goes to the ultimate issue. Court: Overruled. (RT 135)
You also mentioned that you were threatened with an email about the Aryan Nation. Do you remember that? Correct. (RT 309) Now, the actual sentence says, “P.S. more than one member of the Aryan Nation, so to speak, ended up protecting me on the streets of Santa Monica.” That’s what the whole sentence says, correct? And you’re aware that Ms. Lynch was actually homeless on the streets of Santa Monica? (RT 309) Correct. Nowhere does that sentence say anything about you, correct? ... This particular email has no reference to me, no. Okay, and -- Although there is an implied menace there. So that was an implied menace to you? Yes, Sir. When an enemy tells you that the Aryan Nation is protecting her, you would be concerned. Do you consider Ms. Lynch an enemy? She considers me an enemy. (RT 310)
