Rivera's second deposition transcript (USP Tucson)
The deposition transcript from USP Tucson was introduced during cross-examination of Rivera in the Magbanua retrial. Defense counsel used page 279 to challenge Rivera's testimony regarding gun disposal and his awareness of federal charges, and used page 103, lines 16–24, to highlight a reference to a third trip that differed from his trial account. The transcript was rated high materiality in this proceeding.
