purpose you just told the jury is the Lisa McPherson
Trust, correct?
 
A Correct.
 
Q Were you privy to watch some video in this case
while this trial proceeded yesterday?

Yes, I did.
Q
You heard it?

I saw it all.
Q
We heard you on the video, Mr. Minton, talk
about Lisa McPherson and where she was, and other things
of that nature, is that correct?
 
A Yes, I did.
 
Q And did you yourself bring a lawsuit involving
Lisa McPherson?
 
A No, I did not.
 
Q Had that begun before you had come into town to
start the Lisa McPherson Trust?
 
A Several years before, in fact the lawsuit, Lisa
McPherson died on December 5,1995, and I believe the
family’s lawsuit against the Church of Scientology was
filed in -- sometime in ‘96. I believe it was before the
middle of the year, I’m not sure when it was actually
filed.
 
Q And when had you started coming into town to
form this organization?
