Tim Mapes perjury trial opens in earnest with clash over alleged lies in sprawling federal probe
Jurors likely would not be able to remember, for example, the color of their prom corsage or who won a specific high school ballgame, Hill contended, just like Mapes could not remember details of what happened in conversations a few years ago.
Hill strongly disputed the allegations, saying prosecutors chose to charge Mapes over a few statements cherrypicked from the grand jury session. Only once during his testimony was Mapes provided with a document or recording that could have refreshed his memory, she said. “Someone in Tim’s position would not have considered what McClain said to be the gospel truth about what Madigan actually said or wanted,” Hill said. “Tim knew better than to presume he knew anything about those private conversations.”
