her about her pregnancy? A Q Not at that time, no. Did you have any concern that it would throw

off the measurements and they wouldn't be accurate? A The only two measurements that were of

concern was from the neck to the gun belt from the front and the back. She would know what her chest size and

10 11 12

A Q

That is correct. So the measurements have to be fairly precise

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

on the officer? A The measurement as far as the waist and the

chest even on a man is what determines the size of cut that they will make on the body armor to where when worn it has elastic straps on the shoulders and two on each side to draw the body armor to the body. Q But going back to my question as far as

What was that? That I did not feel I had done anything wrong

to either of the officers, that I've treated them like they were my daughters and I would do anything for them. And Sergeant Reed assured me that Officer Hebets told him on more than one occasion that they are not mad at me, they are just after the chief. Q Did you ever make any attempt to contact
