Thaci's lawyer rejects the prosecutor's question: It's speculation.

Responding to the prosecution's questions, the protected witness said he had heard that the person coded by number 1 had asked questions aloud.

Witness: One person has been asked a question in a loud voice.

“There have been questions posed louder than normal to ask a question. The sound has been very high, many details we've never heard of, listened to or understood. The word “because” has been very expression”, the witness said.

While prosecutor Sylvia Déscoli has asked her what she thinks happened in that room, that question has been rejected by Hashim Thaci's chief lawyer, Gregory Kehoe.

Prosecutor D'Assole: What do you think was going on in that room?

Lawyer Kehoe: These are speculations, it's asking what he thought when in fact it can be witnessed only what he heard.

Judge Smith agrees with opposition.

Prosecutor D'Assole: Could you hear what was going on inside the room?

Witness: Based on the meaning that I've reached with understanding there was an interview, because it's been asked to account for a certain person.

Prosecutor D'Assole: Anything else you remember about that case?

Witness: I can't make a check right now.

Prosecutor D'Assole: What happened next?

Witness: After 15 minutes or half an hour where the person stood, they left the facility, they left completely, by car, and we just went normal until we had it assigned.
