Q Number two. Right here?
B Right.
Q Now, sir, then following that at
twenty-one fifty-six and twenty-one fifty-seven going
down to where you stopped your analysis at twenty-two
sixteen at two forty-five --
A Uh-huh.
@ -- where is the two forty-five tower?
A Tower two forty-five is our Monroe
tower.
Q Uh-huh. And if you would point that out
or I'll point it out for the jury.
A Sure.
Q Is it right here, sir?
A It's labeled number three, I believe.
Yes. Number three.
Q Now, do these towers have a certain
typical -- in the Alltel -- now, I'm talking about
Alltel -- I can't generalize to other networks -- but a
certain range of their effectiveness?
A They do.
Q And are you able to tell the jury from
plotting these phone calls specifically the area in
which these towers are hitting off during the time

period which you've testified to?
A. Yeah. I can be fairly accurate. What
you're looking at as far as the tower range, you're
looking at about six miles in radius from the tower.
That's before you start seeing a deplete in your
signal. After about eight and a half miles is when
you'll completely lose service.
Q If you're able, can you actually draw
that on the map to show the jury?
a 1 can do my best. It won't be to scale
Q Okay. And I know you don't have a
ruler. Okay.
MS. GARST: Now, Judge, does the Court
have a marker, like a highlighter or something
that would be little more colorful? I'm sorry
to ask. My pens have all died.
THE COURT: No, I don't.
MS. GARST: Okay. Here's a pink one.
That would be fine.
THE COURT: I have a black one that we
use to redact, but that's all.

Q + And specifically, if you would -- and
show the jury how you reached this analysis from where
the towers are reaching from, Mr. Moorman
A Sure.
Q -- beginning with your phone calls.
A Sure. You start with the phone call
at -- when he starts pulling off the High Peak tower at
twenty twenty-two, which would mean he was in range of
at least eight and a half miles from this tower. Bight
and a half miles would bring it down to -- this is
labeled six miles, which is not correct. That's way
too far to be six miles. Eight and a half miles would
probably bring it down to right around this area, and
remember, a tower does send off in a diameter, in a
circle, a full circle. He was -- this phone call was
made somewhere in this general vicinity of this tower
° At eight twenty-two.
A At eight twenty-two. And then all the
way down until twenty forty-nine, which is --
° And then at twenty forty-nine.
A Uh-huh.
Q All of those phone calls, sir, then your
testimony under oath, Mr. Moorman, based on your tower
technology --

A Uh-huh.
Q . -- are made in that circular kind of
pattern --
A Yes.
Q ~- correct?
A Yes.
Q Now, six, then moving on to that phone
call at twenty fifty-eight which is that two-nineteen
tower.
A Right. The-two nineteen tower is the
Flemming Mountain tower. The Flemming Mountain tower
is here. This tower also sends off about an eight and
a half mile radius before you completely loose signal
or are unable to attach yourself to that tower, which
it would look similar to this here. So what we were
looking at here as far as -- he was pulling from the
High Peak tower. We moved on to the tower two-nineteen
which is the Flemming tower. $o he would have to be in
range of that Flemming tower to actually move into it.
And with him pulling off of the two zero four, the High
Peak tower, means he would have to be in range of this
tower as well. Therefore, those phone calls had to be
made somewhere where these two towers --
Q In that general vicinity.
A Yes.

° And, sir, by saying that, that is the
eight fifty-eight time, shortly before nine o'clock --
A Correct.
Q -- correct, sir?
A Yes.
Q Now, six, going on then, if you would,
to that twenty-one o nine phone call, which is nine o
nine.
A Yes.
Q And that goes to the two o four tower
again which is, I think, you believe -- I called it
High Point, but it's High Peak.
A High Peak, yes.
Q Sorry.
A High Peak tower.
Q High Peak tower which you've labeled as
tower one. Would you show the significance? Again
it's that circular area that you testified previously
at the top; is that correct?
A Correct.
MS. GARST: And again for the record
it's a pink circle drawn at the top portion
reaching down, Your Honor, below the Monacan
Park by about a mile radius, mile to two mile
radius.

THE WITNESS: That's correct.
BY MS, GARST: (Continuing)
Q And, sir, then-for that entire period as
you're at that twenty-one o nine through twenty-one
thirty-one it's your testimony under oath that based on
the tower technology of Alltel that that phone would
have been hitting in that general vicinity, correct?
A Yes. He would have had to have been
within range of the High Point -- High Peak tower.
Q Okay.
Now, sir, then going at twenty-one
forty-one it goes back to two thirty-two which we've
discussed as the Amherst tower, correct?
A That's correct.
Q Show the jury during that time period --
Amherst is further up. And I don't ask you to mark
that.
A Correct.
Q Okay. All right. You may be seated,
Mr. Moorman.
And during that time period then, sir,
while you looked at this, the significant portion of
the phone call going at twenty-one o nine which is at

Q . Mark it with the pink and then put an A
on it. Then go ahead and mark the approximate radius
of that.
A (Indicating.}
Q Now, when you mark these, if I +
understood your testimony, each of these towers has
approximately an eight and a half mile circular radius.
A Yes, sir.
2 Is that accurate?
A Approximately.
° So we're not talking about eight and a
half miles. We're talking about an eight and a half
mile circle.
A We're talking about an eight and a half
mile radius.
Q Radius circle.
A Which would make it seventeen miles
diameter.
Q But what's the area of that circle?
A The area of that circle? Pie times R
squared.
Q About thirty minutes?
aA Approximately, yeah.
Q So each of those towers has a

thirty-mile area of calls where they could be made.
A | ‘That's correct.
Q So then what you did is examine these
phone calls. And all you can say is that -- I!m not
sure what you're saying. Are you saying that you can
triangulate the position of the caller? Based.on what?
A Well, all I'm here to do is testify as
to where these towers are located --
Q Right.
A -- where the calls could have possibly
been made. If you're pulling off the High Peak tower
you need to be in range of the High Peak tower. If
you're pulling off the Flemming Mountain -
Q Now, when you make that point -~ and
that's what I'm trying to get to. when you make that
point --
A Uh-huh.
@ =- you could point anywhere in an
approximately thirty-mile circle.
A Sure.
Q So you must use some other variables to
try to pinpoint the location of the caller. That's
what I'm trying to find out, what that is. It must be
more than just the radius and the area of the circle
from the tower.10

A Correct. What you see is, when you have
a string of .phone calls made off of the High Peak tower
and then a string of phone calls going back off the
High Peak tower, what generally happens with cell
phones is a tower can become backed up with phone calls
and could push a caller to another tower. And that
seems to be what happened when you had a string of
phone calls from High Peak, a string of phone calls
again from High Peak and then a phone -- one phone call
in the middle from Flemming Mountain, which would mean
the High Peak tower at that time must have been
overloaded and could have possibly been pushed onto
another tower such as the Flemming Mountain tower.
Q So you can transfer a call from one
tower to the other -- the tower can transfer a call --
A sure.
Q from one tower to the other.
A As long as they're in range of both.
Q In range of both?
a Sure.
Q Okay.
Now, why would you make the assumption
that that's what happened when the other thing that
could have happened is he could have been in range of
the Flemming tower at that time?

A No. That's what we're saying. He
was -- when he made that phone.call he had to have been
in range of the Flemming Mountain tower.
Q Now, where does that overlap at? Is
that that big blob where those first two --
A Well, you have the Flemming Mountain
tower. You also have the High Peak tower.
Q Okay.
A And this approximately shows an overlap
of where those two towers may overlap.
Q And do you have any idea what the area
of that overlap is?
A I do not.
Q Okay.
A Not with any accuracy.
Q All right. So those are estimations.
A These are estimations, sure.
Q And they're not to scale.
A Nope.
Q Okay.
THE COURT: You can have a seat.
