Q1. "We wanted that private moment to discuss a question."
Q2. "Yes, I felt like we couldn't leave at that point."
Q3. "Yes, we don't conduct investigations like Interal Affairs.  We allow people to feel like it isn't an investigation, we keep it casual."
Q4. "I think that tactics are different and there are multiple ways to conduct an interview and investigations.  However, I felt like we were being treated like criminals."

Q10."Yes, Castillo was on administrative leave during the interview."
