Q4: Do you know for certain that a one-way mirror was installed in the room or are you simply making an inference? "By way of fact? No, I don't know for certain.

So to answer definitively, yes, I was making an inference." Q5: Given that you were sat closest to the door, did you feel that the investigators were in a position to prevent you from leaving at any time?

Mainly due to the fact that they both had their firearms and we both did not."

"No." Q13: Did you or Mr. Castillo, at any point during the interview, ask if you could leave? "We asked to have a private moment. That consisted of either us leaving, or the investigators leaving. They refused to leave."

Within my unit, I was required to pass our SWAT School and our Team Leader school." Q6. Can you explain the role your rank plays within your agency? "From a general sense, I am required to assist in department wide recruiting, such as debating with other Captains and Commanders in regard to reinstatement applications, along with Bureau specific administrative tasks.

Myself and Sergeant Castillo did not possess his firearm during the interview, as I was instructed to lock my firearm up before entering the office area.

"No. Sergeant Castillo asked to speak with me privately during the interview, and the two investigators refused to leave the room. Based on that and both of us not having our firearms, I would say no." ** James Guanti steps down from the witness stand and returns to his seat. **
