4 Q. Well, Page 49 of the transcript of December

6 want to know who did you send e-mails to to falsely
7 exculpate?"
8 And your answer is, "George Levin, Frank

10 don't remember. I was in a -- to say that I was in a
11 bad state of mind would be the understatement of the
12 millennium. It was my intention, at that point in

15 answer?
16 A. Yes, at the time that I was sending
17 exculpatory e-mails I was doing that while I was
18 thinking about killing myself, yes.
19 Q. And are you familiar with the concept of a

24 MR. LAVECCHIO: Last time it meant that we
