On Tuesday, July 7th, Wendell Bolden takes the witness stand and is questioned by the prosecuting attorney, Sandra Petrocelli. Petrocelli asks Bolden why he was in jail at the time he spoke to Mr. Zinzi. Wendell tells Petrocelli that he was serving time for assault, but the charges were dropped. When Asa Briggs cross-examines Wendell Bolden, he mentions that Bolden's assault charges were dropped. Briggs then comments that Bolden saved himself some heavy time by pointing the finger at James King. Wendell Bolden's assault charges were dropped because he accepted a deal to testify against James King in the robbery and murder of Aguinaldo Nesbitt. While on the witness stand, Bolden says that he is simply trying to be a good citizen by telling the truth. The reality as to why Bolden is testifying is because he wants to lessen his sentence by getting his assault charge dropped.
