A John Jones. Q Are you married at this time? A Yes, sir, I / am very glad to say that I am married to the best woman in the world. Q Have you ever been / married before? A No, sir. I have not been married at any other time. This is the first and only time / that I have been married. Q Do you have any children from this marriage? A No, sir. We hope that we will / have some very soon. I would love to have two or three of them as soon as possible. Q What is / your place of employment at this time. A I am a police officer. Q Thank you. But what is your place of / employment? In other words, where are you a police officer? What type of police officer are you? Do you work / for the city or for the county or for the state? A I work in the north part of Houston, Texas, / and I work for the city of Houston. At this time I work on the north side of the city./ Q Are you a police officer who works on the road as a traffic cop or do you work in an / office? A I am a city traffic police officer. I have been in this job for the past three years. Q Where / do you live at this time? A Harris County, Texas. I live in the city of Houston. Police officers have to / live in the city of Houston if they want to keep their job. It is one of the rules that / they give to you when you are a new police officer. Q How long have you been in the job that / you have? A I have had this job for three years. Before that, I was a new police officer, and I / had the same type of work, but it was not in the same part of the city. Q Officer, we are / here today about an accident that happened last year. At that time your car and another car came together in / a small crash on Front Street. Do you remember when that accident happened? A Yes, sir. I remember it like it / was yesterday. Q Can you recall what you were doing at the time that the accident happened? A Yes, sir, very well. / I was on my way to the home of my mother-in-law in the north part of town. Q You / were not on the job at that time; is that right? A Yes, sir. My shift is from two in the / morning until ten in the morning. I was not on duty at that time. Q If you remember, can you tell / us why you were on that street at that time? Before you answer that question, do you remember the name / of the street that you were on at the time of the accident? A It was over on Front Street. I / was on Front Street. Q That’s right. I had already asked you that question, did I not? A Yes, sir. That is / correct. Q So do you remember why you were on that street at that time? A Yes, sir, I do. As I / said, I was on my way to the home of my mother-in-law at the time that the accident / happened. Q Thank you. But do you recall why you were on that street? In other words, as far as the reason for why / you were on that street and not on any other street, why did you choose to take that route in / your trip to see your mother-in-law? A It is a small street, but it runs between two other streets. / I can miss some of the red lights if I go on Front Street. It saves a little bit of / time. Q As I recall Front Street is a north and south street; is that correct? A Yes, sir. That street runs / north and south. Q Which way were you going at the time of the accident in this case, if you remember? / A I was going from the south to the north. My mother-in-law lives a few more blocks to the / north. The accident happened just a few blocks before the block that my mother-in-law lives on. Q By the / way, what is the address of your mother-in-law; do you know it? A Do you want the address of / my mother-in-law at the time of the accident or her address at this time? Q Your mother-in-law / does not live at the same place now; is that correct? A That is correct. She has sold her home in / that area of the city and now she is living close to my wife and I. I wanted her to / move to our part of the city so that she could come over and visit more often than just two / or three times a week. Q So do you know her new address at this time? A. Yes, sir, I do know / her new address. It is 120 Lee Road. Q. At the time of the accident, do you recall if the / roads were wet or dry? A. If I recall correctly, they were dry at the time of the accident. Q. Had it / rained at all around the time that the accident happened, if you recall? A. Well, this has been a while ago, / but I believe that it had not rained for quite a few days at that time. Q Can you tell us / if there was anything blocking your view at the scene of the accident at that time? A From what I remember, / there was not anything blocking my view at the scene of the accident. Q Was there anything blocking the view of / the other driver of the car you were in this accident with? A I really could not say whether there was / or not. I did not have the same view as he did at the scene of the accident. Find free tests, programs, drills, advice, MP3s, books and more at Court Reporting Help.
