Jerome Facher: You were aware that when you moved the Woburn the water didn't taste good

Richard Aufiero: [during his deposition] A lot of places the water doesn't taste good

Jerome Facher: Do you ever use bottled water?

Richard Aufiero: We use bottled water off and on, we cook with regular tap water if were to make something like orange juice we'd use half bottled water and half tap water but to drink straight water we'd drink bottled water

Jerome Facher: Has any doctor ever tell you, you had any dysfunction with your immune system?

Richard Aufiero: No, when my son died they told us that's why he died his immune system tore down to nothing

Jerome Facher: Why'd you have him autopsied?

Richard Aufiero: Because he was doing good he only lived three months with Leukemia he looked fine

Jerome Facher: Did you talk to the doctor after?

Richard Aufiero: More like a "violent" talk

Jerome Facher: "Violent" meaning you were angry?

Richard Aufiero: Yelling at him

Jerome Facher: Your son seemed to be doing alright he was admission and doctors were optimistic about his future suddenly he became ill and died

Richard Aufiero: They said that was expected and anybody with a disease like leukemia could die at any minute, you can tell if your child isn't feeling good you try to explain it over the phone and they'll ask "does he have a temperature?" I said "no, they said doesn't worry he'll be fine bring him into the clinic Monday morning, he died Monday morning

John Riley: [during his deposition in Jan's office] I started working for my father sweeping the beam house floors for my father which he swept for his father when he was seven years old which my boys swept when they were seven years old...

Jan Schlichtmann: [interrupts him] Please answer the question I asked and not one I didn't. Silicon and trichloroethylene mixed together are used to waterproof leather, are they not?

John Riley: [pours a glass of water on the conference table]

Jan Schlichtmann: Let the record show the witness has emptied a glass of water on the table. Mr. Riley, what do you intend to say by pouring a glass of water on my conference table?

John Riley: This is how silicon is applied to leather to waterproof it. I'm answering your question.

Jan Schlichtmann: It's poured on. Some of it must spill off on to the floor, like the water spilling off the conference table and on to my rug. That's the part I'm interested in. How was the silicon and trichlorethylene cleaned up?

John Riley: We never used TCE.

Jan Schlichtmann: "TCE"? I didn't say "TCE". I said "trichlorethylene". You said "TCE", as it commonly known to those who use it. Mr. Riley, do you mind if we check your purchase orders, receipts, ect?

John Riley: Be my guest. We have those records going back three years. Everything else, we dumped.
