It is categorically false for Judge Nash Holmes to assert, in the audio record on

asked Couglin and when, and what his res"onses were, and when some allegations !y

Judge Nash Holmes /Nash0. It a""ears to me in this case that the defendant is suffering from
some e#treme form of mental illness& during the trial I asked the defendant attorney
re"eatedly if he was recording the "roceedings he denied that vehemently a few times and
then he uote took the fifth a few other times and then he reuested to !e e#cused to go to the
!athroom and the %arshal later re"orted to me that while the gentleman was in the
!athroom he disassem!led a recording device in his "ocket and took the memory out of it
and it was later found in that, uh, !y the %arshal no one else had gone into the !athroom
and that was retrieved and it was "ut into his "ossession at the ,heriff1s office and when they
!ooked him into 2ail for the contem"t charge that was !ooked into evidence and I asked the
