REVIEW-JOURNAL
Prosecutors allege former Crazy Horse Too cocktail waitress Paula McBride provided false testimony to a federal grand jury regarding the September 2001 incident in which tourist Kirk Henry was paralyzed. Excerpts of testimony prosecutors describe as false are below:
PROSECUTOR: During your interview with the agents on Aug. 20, 2002, did you advise the agents that when you saw Mr. D'Apice come walking up behind Mr. Henry as he was leaving the club, you observed both of them exit the front doors of the Crazy Horse Too in an aggressive, quick and hurried fashion?
McBRIDE: No.
PROSECUTOR: Did you advise the agents that after seeing Mr. D'Apice and Mr. Henry exit the front doors of the Crazy Horse Too on the morning of Sept. 20, 2001, that Mr. D'Apice remained outside the Crazy Horse Too for approximately 2 minutes before returning inside?
McBRIDE: No.
Prosecutors also allege Robert D'Apice provided false testimony before a federal grand jury. Excerpts of testimony prosecutors describe as false are below:
PROSECUTOR: At any time on Sept. 20, 2001, did you have any occasion in which you threw Mr. Henry down onto the ground?
D'APICE: No, sir.
PROSECUTOR: Have you ever become involved in any physical altercation with any of the patrons?
D'APICE: Maybe once or twice where the customer didn't want to leave, took a swing at us.
PROSECUTOR: OK.
D'APICE: And then physically taking them out, just carrying them out the door and let him go, if he doesn't want to leave, at that time if he doesn't want to leave, you call the cops, police officers, and they read them the trespassing law.
PROSECUTOR: Can you think of any occasion in which you utilized some level of physical force to take a customer to an ATM machine at the Crazy Horse Too to take out money to pay a dancer?
D'APICE: No, sir.
PROSECUTOR: Can you think of any occasion at the Crazy Horse Too in which you or an employee of the Crazy Horse Too verbally threatened or intimidated a customer to pay a charge?
D'APICE: No, sir.
