Bruce, do you think this explains a motive for Felch?
FALCON: If Sue Felch was making accusations that Mike Delfino was using abusive language towards her and making gestures, facial and/or hand gestures, and you interviewed these people and presumably if a video camera had been placed, had access to that information, and the individuals that you contacted deny, apparently, if I read this, deny that any such thing was occurring towards Sue Felch, are you saying with that information it was still he said/she said?
POPPE: I will object to that question. It mischaracterizes the document. You can answer.
FALCON: Was that how you left it, though, basically, he said/she said?
HENNESSY: Mike and I had a discussion about that and it may have been a follow-up to the investigation, I don't recall, but where we had a discussion about his expressiveness. He indicated that he was a very expressive individual and that some people could misinterpret his expressions. He did not feel like he was directing anything particularly at Sue. He didn't feel like his use of inappropriate language was any better or worse than some other members of the lab. I don't recall exactly what was said after that, frankly.
FALCON: But how was this fair treatment plan resolved or ended from your point of view?
HENNESSY: I don't think it was ended. What I recall was that Mike had requested to meet with Dick Levy. And in and about the time that that request had occurred this lab incident, the sabotage thing came up. And I remember -- I don't know if it was directly from Dick or whether I had heard it from someone else, but I remember a comment that Dick didn't want to meet with anybody until that lab incident had been resolved. And that would have been the next step in the fair treatment. |
