I worked in a couple of divisions.  Initially, in the

Miami-Dade County. 
Q.
And what year did you leave that job? 
A.
In 1997. 
Q.
Okay.  And I heard you indicate that you have a degree in 
mortuary science.  Can you tell us how you started in that 
background? 
A.
While employed with the Broward County Sheriff's Office, I 
ended up putting myself through school while I worked 
midnights, and I ended up -- it took me a lengthy time, but I 
got it done and I ended up with my degree. 
Q.
Okay.  And did you hold any jobs in that area? 
A.
I worked for various funeral homes trying to learn my 
craft and perfect it.  I worked for initially Mr. Bernard 
Siportir (phonetic) out of Miami, Florida.  I've worked for

home.  I was actually the funeral director in charge of

funeral home, I'm tasked with sanitation, preservation of the 
remains, just making sure that everything is done correctly 
when it comes to the remains.

Okay.  Does Wade Funeral Home sometimes work with other 
funeral homes?

Yes.

services, whether it be embalming, equipment to borrow,

vehicles to use, things of that -- et cetera.  And me being a 
funeral director, sometimes I do cover funerals for other 
funeral homes. 
Q.
Okay.  And are you familiar with the Rivero Funeral Home? 
A.
Yes.  Eduardo Rivero. 
Q.
Okay.  Who is Eduardo Rivero? 
A.
He is the owner of Rivero Funeral Home in Hollywood, 
Florida. 
Q.
And is Mr. Rivero married? 
A.
He's married to Ms. Haydee Granados.  That's her name if 
I'm correct. 
Q.
Okay.  Would you please describe your relationship to the 
jury -- your relationship with Mr. Rivero and Ms. Granados.  
A.
Well, I met him about six to seven years ago.  I've done 
numerous things within this industry with him as far as 
covering services.  I was contracted to be his licensed 
embalmer at one point in time.  I've gotten vehicles from him.  
He's gotten vehicles from me, et cetera, et cetera.  He has 
even invited me once -- his daughter was having a birthday 
party and he asked me to bring my daughter and I did bring my 
daughter to the party. 
Q.
Okay.  And do you know Haydee Granados? 
A.
I don't know her personally.  I know her and in 
conversation when I go by the funeral home, but I don't talk 
to her extensively like that.

Q.
Okay.  Now, do you have any information or knowledge about 
a PPP loan that your wife applied for back in 2021? 
A.
Yes, I do. 
Q.
Can you please tell us the basis of your knowledge?  
A.
Well, the basis of my knowledge came from me introducing 
it to my wife because Eduardo had introduced it to myself 
because they did one for myself. 
Q.
And when you say "they did one for myself" -- 
A.
His wife, Haydee. 
Q.
Okay.  And what year did Haydee and -- was it Haydee and 
Rivero or was it just Ms. Granados? 
A.
Well, I was told she was the one that handled the 
paperwork but he was the one that was in constant 
communication -- calling if she needed this or if she needed 
that. 
Q.
Now, so did there come a time when you were introduced to 
the idea of applying for a PPP loan? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Can you tell us who, if anyone, introduced you to that? 
A.
Eduardo Rivero. 
Q.
Okay.  And had you read up on the PPP loans? 
A.
No.  I told him I didn't know anything about it. 
Q.
Okay.  I mean, did you know the criteria? 
A.
No, not at all. 
Q.
Okay.  And so in terms of your making an application for

the PPP loan, were you required to produce anything for 
Mr. Rivero or his wife to commence the process? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
What were you asked to produce? 
A.
A copy of a voided check, a copy of my driver's license, 
and a copy of my Social Security card --
Q.
Okay.  And -- 
A.
-- and bank statements.  I'm sorry. 
Q.
Did you actually produce those things? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Did they ask you to produce any tax information? 
A.
Never.  Never. 
Q.
And so as a direct result of your having made an 
application, did at some point you receive a PPP loan? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Can you please tell us the amount? 
A.
The first amount was, I think, $20,833 and I think the 
second one was the same. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, let's talk about the first loan.  Now, were 
you made aware of whether or not you had to pay this loan back 
or these loans back? 
A.
The way it was explained was it's a process -- 
MR. ZACCA:  Objection.  It calls for hearsay. 
THE COURT:  Overruled.  Overruled.

Q.
You may answer, sir.  
A.
The way it was explained is it's a simple process.  Just 
give us the documents.  Let Haydee go ahead -- she's supposed 
to be an expert in doing it.  And she'll go ahead and get the 
process completed.  Once it's done, there's a forgiveness part 
of it that she will go ahead and take care of.  Just let her 
know once the documents -- or if you get any documents put in 
your email. 
Q.
Now, prior to your having produced these documents, were 
you required to pay a fee to them? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Was it your understanding that at some point you would 
have to pay a fee? 
A.
What he said was -- because you don't know -- you didn't 
know what you were going to get, so he said it's a percentage 
of whatever you qualify for is what we charge. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, you produced those documents; is that correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Now, tell us about your process in actually applying for 
the loan.  Did you have to fill out paperwork or anything? 
A.
No, I didn't fill out anything.  It was just certain 
requirements -- you know, he would periodically call me back 
to back, "Oh, you need to check your email.  You need to pay 
attention to your email" -- or "I'm texting you.  You've got 
to respond -- everything."  It was a rush-rush.  It's a

timely -- everything is in a timely manner. 
Q.
Now, Mr. Wade, were you ever asked to produce any type of 
credentials or login information to either Haydee or her 
husband? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Can you tell us what it was you were asked to produce? 
A.
If I'm correct, it was Womply access.  She asked for that.  
She asked for -- 
Q.
What do you mean Womply access? 
A.
Whatever the site or application process was being gone 
through, she asked for access to that.  Eventually, she asked 
for my access because I was taking too long -- access to my 
emails.  And her thing was, well, once it's all said and done, 
you can change it.  She -- 
Q.
Did you provide her that email address? 
A.
Yes.  Yes.  I ended up doing it.  
She also asked for my bank account login and I said, 
"No."  I wasn't going to give her that. 
Q.
So did you ever give her your bank account login 
information? 
A.
No.  No, I didn't. 
Q.
Now, did you ever become aware as to whether or not 
Ms. Granados or her husband actually utilized any of this 
credential information that you had given them? 
A.
Again, I didn't know what the process was.  I just trusted

him and her as doing business for a very long time, and I had 
no reason to be alarmed.  So I didn't know the process. 
Q.
Now, are you familiar with DocuSign? 
A.
Absolutely.  Yes. 
Q.
Were you ever asked to DocuSign something with your name 
or your initials? 
A.
I'm not -- probably so, yes, I will say.  I'm not sure.  
Q.
You don't -- 
A.
I can't recall.  I don't remember. 
Q.
Now, did there come a time when you received PPP proceeds? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Do you remember roughly how long it was from the time that 
you submitted information to Ms. Granados and the time that 
you received the moneys? 
A.
No, I don't remember the exact time frame of in between.  
I don't remember. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, what businesses did you make an application 
for? 
A.
Wade Funeral Home. 
Q.
Okay.  Two loans? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And they were in the amount of -- what was the amount of 
the first loan? 
A.
If I'm correct, it was $20,833. 
Q.
Okay.  And what about the second loan?

BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
Okay.  And did you receive the funds? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
I know you testified that the criteria was never explained 
to you.  To this day, are you aware of the criteria on 
which enabled you to procure loans in the amount of 20,833 -- 
A.
Now I am.  Yes, now. 
Q.
Now, did there come a time when your wife made an 
application for a PPP loan?

Q.
Okay.  And can you tell the members of the jury in what 
capacity she served? 
A.
She was a detention deputy. 
Q.
In Broward County? 
A.
In Broward County. 
Q.
Go ahead.  Tell us about your wife -- how your wife became 
aware of this PPP loan application.  
A.
So immediately -- because he knew I had got funded -- 
Q.
Who's he? 
A.
Eduardo Rivero.  He knew I had gotten funded before I knew 
and he called me, and he said, "So check your account."  And I 
looked and I was like, "Oh, wow."  And I guess it was actually 
true.  So he said, "Okay.  So now where's my money?"  You 
know, making a joke about it.  
So then when I took him his money, he said, "Your 
wife has a business.  Why don't you give me her 
information" -- 
Q.
So did you pay Mr. -- 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
-- Eduardo? 
A.
Eduardo Rivero.  I paid him whatever percentage it was 
that was required. 
Q.
Okay.  Do you remember how much you paid him? 
A.
Not offhand.  I don't remember the exact amount, but it 
was probably about $5,000 or $6,000, initially.

Q.
Okay.  And was that the total for both loans or was -- 
what did that represent, that -- 
A.
That was only the first one.  I'm not -- I'm not familiar 
or remember what the total amount was. 
Q.
Okay.  And this was back in 2021? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, your wife, did she have other employment? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Can you please tell the jury about that employment? 
A.
My wife owns 1 Step A-Head Hair Salon. 
Q.
Okay.  And how long has she run that business? 
A.
That business has been incorporated, if I'm correct -- I 
think she did it in 2015, if I'm correct. 
Q.
All right.  Does your wife hold any other licenses? 
A.
She's a licensed cosmetologist. 
Q.
Do you know for how long? 
A.
Before I met her. 
Q.
Okay.  And you met her -- I know you married, you said, 
around 2015? 
A.
Altogether, we've been together, I think -- you're trying 
to get me in trouble -- about 15 years. 
Q.
Okay.  So did there come a time when you actually 
approached Mrs. Wade about a PPP loan? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Prior to your having approached her, had she approached

you about her -- any interest in her applying for a loan? 
A.
She never heard of it before. 
Q.
And tell us what you told her.  
A.
I said, "Do you want to see if you qualify to get" -- and 
I explained it to her.  I said, "It was a PPP."  She said, 
"What is that?"  And I explained it to her.  And because of 
who I said was handling it and she know I trust him to handle 
things for me as far as the funeral business goes, she was 
like, "Okay."  She said, "But I don't think nothing is going 
to come of it because I don't really make that kind of money 
for them to give me anything."  
Q.
Okay.  And did there come a time when you represented to 
Mrs. Wade what, if any, documents she was going to need? 
A.
The same documents I gave. 
Q.
Now, did you just tell her that or did someone -- did 
someone mention it to you that she was going to need these 
documents also? 
A.
Yes.  Eduardo relayed to me, just the same as he did when 
I did it, "Hey, I need this document -- you already know the 
documents we need.  Get this, this, this, and that."
Q.
Tell us specifically what documents were asked for and 
what documents were given.  
A.
Her driver's license, her Social Security card, bank 
statements, and a voided check.  
Q.
Do you know if any requests were made for login

information? 
A.
Yes.  That was through me. 
Q.
Okay.  And tell the members of the jury what login 
information you told your wife was going to be needed.  
A.
Access to the Womply -- if I'm saying it correct -- the 
Womply entry -- wherever they do the applications at -- the 
same requests.  
She didn't ask initially because I told her I would 
handle everything for my wife because I thought I was familiar 
with it because they did the same thing for me.  But 
initially -- well, down the road she ended up getting her -- 
access to her Gmail account and -- 
Q.
Let me be clear on that.  She ended up giving access to 
her Gmail -- 
A.
I gave it to her.  I asked my wife because they kept 
calling me -- 
Q.
Yes.  They who? 
A.
Haydee Rivero and Eduardo Rivero.  And -- because they 
were, like, "You can trust me.  You can trust me.  You know, 
we're boys.  I'm not going to do nothing to you guys."  So we 
gave it to them. 
Q.
Okay.  And so you gave them access -- she gave them access 
to her Gmail account? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  What about DocuSign?  Did they give her access to

that? 
A.
They had access to everything. 
Q.
And they had requested that --
A.
Yes. 
Q.
-- as they had done with you? 
A.
Yes.  The very exact same thing they did with me. 
Q.
Now, were there times when follow-up information was 
requested by -- I'm sorry -- by either Haydee or Eduardo? 
A.
Once they got the initial information that they requested, 
no, not then. 
Q.
Now, who, if anyone, between you and your wife, was in 
touch with the Granados about Ms. Wade's application process? 
A.
Myself. 
Q.
And why was that? 
A.
Because she was employed.  So her hours were, I think, 
8:00 to 4:00, and she couldn't have her phone.  So it was 
impossible for them to have constant communication with her. 
Q.
Okay.  And phones are not allowed in the jail? 
A.
In the jail or the courtrooms. 
Q.
Okay.  And let's say if an individual who worked in the 
jail or the courtroom -- you worked for the sheriff's office; 
right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
How many years? 
A.
25.

Q.
If a person wanted to use a phone, could they walk out to 
the car or go to a locker -- 
A.
You could go to the locker and get your phone, depending 
on where you have it at. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, were there any times when information -- 
excuse me -- was requested of you and you would then contact 
your wife and -- 
A.
If it was something I didn't know and I had to call her or 
I sent her a text -- we have a child in common.  And at the 
time I think Taylor was -- Taylor was much younger.  So we 
would periodically talk throughout the day.  And if I knew it, 
then I would go ahead and take care of it. 
Q.
And if you talked to her -- I mean, would she leave the 
building?  How would she talk to you? 
A.
I'm not aware of if she left the building or not.  I can't 
answer that. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, when Ms. Wade was approached about applying 
for a loan, did you mention anything to her about fees? 
A.
No.  I just told her that -- how it was explained to me 
that depending on whatever you get, you have to pay whatever 
the percentage was of what you got. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, when you paid Eduardo, how did you pay him?  
What form did you pay him in? 
A.
I think I may have given him a check.  I don't -- I can't 
recall exactly how I paid him -- by check or Zelle.  I'm not

Q.

A.
No. 
Q.
-- corporate name? 
A.
No. 
Q.
That's a corporation name? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
It's not a corporation name? 
A.
It's a corporation name, but I'm not familiar with it. 
Q.
Okay.  And why would you make it out to Jersey City Group? 
A.
That's who I was instructed to make it out to. 
Q.
Okay.  And did you think anything of it when you were 
asked? 
A.
Didn't think anything of it. 
Q.
Were any instructions given to you as to what to put in 
the memo section of the check? 
A.
I can't exactly remember, but as far as the instruction 
was given, as far as the check and what to put on it, we were 
instructed on what to do as far as the check goes. 
Q.
Okay.  And now, with respect to your wife having -- and I 
believe it's been introduced into evidence -- a check that was 
made out to Jersey City, in the memo section it says -- you

put something about equipment.  Were you aware -- were you 
present when she was told -- if she was told to put that in 
there? 
A.
I was -- I don't recall.  That's been a while ago.  I 
don't recall if I was there or not. 
Q.
Okay.  But with respect to your check, they -- I don't 
know about they -- but was it Haydee or would it have been her 
husband that told you what to put in the check? 
A.
Eduardo. 
Q.
Eduardo instructed you what to put on the check? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  And did you have any reason to believe -- with 
respect to your loans, did you have any reason to believe that 
these people were engaging in some type of fraudulent 
behavior? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Were you aware if these individuals, the husband and wife, 
were doing PPP applications for others? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you knew Eduardo before the -- did you know Eduardo 
before the application process? 
A.
Yes, yes. 
Q.
Did you trust him? 
A.
Absolutely. 
Q.
Did you believe in him?

Q.
Where did that factor in when you approached your wife 
about applying for a loan? 
A.
I don't trust people that easy.  So if I trusted him, my 
wife -- she trusts me as her husband and she just agree with 
me. 
Q.
Okay.  And did you or your wife provide a Schedule C to 
either one of the -- either Mr. Eduardo or Ms. Granados? 
A.
No, sir.  We provided no tax information to them. 
Q.
Did they ever ask you for tax information? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
So after you submitted them the things that you've told us 
about already, did they tell you anything about what would be 
next in terms of submitting it? 
A.
Can you repeat that for me again?  
Q.
Yeah.  
After you submitted the documents and gave them the 
login information that you described to us already, can you 
tell us what, if anything, either Eduardo or Ms. Granados said 
to you would be next? 
A.
I think it was a review process or something like that to 
see if we got it approved or something. 
Q.
Now, are you aware of your wife being required to take a 
photograph in connection with this application process? 
A.
That's a part of the process.

with respect to this application? 
A.
No.  I don't recall seeing it, no. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, did you transmit any documentation -- let's 
talk about Granados -- Ms. Granados or her husband.  Did you 
ever transmit documentation to them? 
A.
Did I transmit?  Yes.  Yes, I have.  Yes, yes. 
Q.
Can you tell us where were you when you did so? 
A.
Probably at my office at the funeral home or even home, 
depending on what time of day it was. 
Q.
Okay.  And did you have access to your wife's email 
address? 
A.
Yes.  Yes. 
Q.
And did she have any other type of devices? 
A.
We had a laptop at that time at the apartment. 
Q.
What about a tablet? 
A.
Yes, a tablet. 
Q.
And did you ever use her tablet? 
A.
All the time. 
Q.
Did you ever use her tablet in connection with this? 
A.
I probably did at that time. 
Q.
Okay.  And what about her email?  With this process did 
you use her email address at all?

THE COURT:  Rephrase, please.  
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
Did there ever come a time when the Granados would submit 
information to you that they needed? 
A.
Yes, they did. 
Q.
And what did you have to do in order to get that 
information? 
A.
If I didn't have it, then I would try to make contact with 
my wife. 
Q.
Okay.  Were there ever any times when you would submit 
it -- when you would do that, were there times when you would 
get it back from her? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And what was the time frame sometimes? 
A.
I can't give you accurate times because it varied on 
multiple occasions. 
Q.
Okay.  And are you aware if Ms. Granados or Eduardo ever 
uploaded any information concerning your wife with this 
application process? 
A.
They uploaded all of it, if I'm correct.  I'm not sure if

Who did? 
A.
Haydee Granados. 
Q.
Were your loans forgiven? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  With respect to the forgiveness process, do you 
know if Mrs. Wade ever -- if an application was made for her 
loan to be forgiven? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Now, when did you find out about this claim -- not this 
claim but about a fraudulent tax return of 100 -- that 
included a $113,000 income figure?  When did you and your wife 
learn about that? 
A.
The night before. 
Q.
The night before what? 
A.
The night before the Broward Sheriff's Office came to our 
house to take her in. 
Q.
And that was just a few months ago? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Was this the Broward Sheriff's Office that came to take 
her in? 
A.
It was only the Broward County Sheriff's Office.  It was a 
task force. 
MR. MCCRAY:  I beg the Court's indulgence.

A.
Familiar?  No. 
Q.
Do you know if she filed for tax returns in 2019? 
A.
She should have. 
Q.
But you don't know that? 
A.
I wouldn't know.  
Q.
Okay.  
A.
Well, I wouldn't know, but I -- yes, she filed them.  She 
filed them. 
Q.
Now, do you know -- did your wife have a relationship with 
Ms. Granados? 
A.
No. 
Q.
They weren't enemies, were they? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
I mean, did they really know each other?

No, sir.

Q.
Okay.  That's your wife's current email address? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
It's like ckidd or something -- 
A.
ckidd, I'm sorry, yes. 
Q.
Now, when you applied for your PPP loan account, how many 
bank accounts did you have? 
A.
I had a business account, I had a personal -- I think two 
personal accounts. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you and your wife have any joint accounts? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Did you have an account with USAA? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Was that a joint account with your wife? 
A.
Yes, it was. 
Q.
Okay.  Let me ask you.  Is there a portal connected with 
your bank account? 
A.
Yes, it is. 
Q.
Okay.  When we say portal -- when you are going to that 
bank account, are you necessarily going in that bank account 
for banking information? 
A.
No.

Q.
Can you tell us -- 
A.
When you put your code in and go onto USAA portal, it 
opens up and not only your bank account is there but if you 
have credit cards through USAA, car insurance, life insurance, 
any personal loans, you have access to all of that once you 
open a portal. 
Q.
So because if you look at, say, documentation concerning 
that account and it shows that you've gone and opened up that 
portal, do you -- must you have looked into your account where 
it talks about how much money you have in there? 
A.
I think the only person that probably can tell you 
what's -- what folder or whatever you went in would probably 
be USAA.  There's no way to tell that. 
Q.
Now, do you and your wife own a home in Coral Springs, 
Florida? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And how long have you all owned that home? 
A.
Two and a half years now. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you and your wife ever live outside of Broward 
County --
A.
Yes, sir, we did. 
Q.
-- in the last ten years? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Can you tell us where you lived? 
A.
Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Q.
Were you all still working in Broward County at that time? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And how were you getting to Broward County to work? 
A.
We would travel down, back and forth every day. 
Q.
Was your wife doing hair at the time? 
A.
Yes, she was. 
Q.
Where was she doing hair? 
A.
She would go to her clients because no one wanted to come 
up to Port St. Lucie. 
Q.
Okay.  And Port St. Lucie from, let's say, Pompano was 
roughly how many miles, would you estimate?  
A.
About 100 miles one way. 
Q.
Now, do you still own the house in Coral Springs? 
A.
Yes, we own a house in Coral Springs. 
Q.
And did there come a time when you sold a home that you 
owned? 
A.
Yes.  We also owned a prior home in Coral Springs. 
Q.
Okay.  When did you sell that home?  Well, first of all, 
when did you -- did you live in that home? 
A.
Yes, we did. 
Q.
When did you all move out, if you remember? 
A.
We moved out just, like, before the pandemic, if I'm 
correct. 
Q.
Okay.  And how much did you all sell that house for? 
A.
That, I can't -- I can't give you an exact number on that.

Q.
Okay.  And were those proceeds deposited into any 
accounts? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Was it a joint account? 
A.
It was a joint account at USAA. 
Q.
In terms of work that was done to process this loan, were 
you more active -- who would you say was most active on this 
account, you or your wife? 
A.
I was. 
Q.
Tell us why.  
A.
She had -- she really didn't have a clue.  She just 
went -- gathered the information that I required to get from 
her what they requested, which was Eduardo and Haydee.  
Certain things that she had to do was -- like, the photo, I 
couldn't take the photo.  But once she did that, she really 
had no interaction in getting it done.  She was actually 
surprised when -- when the funding came through. 
Q.
Okay.  And did she ever reach out, to your knowledge, to 
Eduardo --
A.
Not at all. 
Q.
-- regarding this loan, especially? 
A.
No. 
MR. MCCRAY:  I beg the Court's indulgence.  
Judge, at this time I have no further questions. 
THE COURT:  Cross-examination.

CROSS-EXAMINATION 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
I believe it's the afternoon.  Good afternoon.  
A.
Good afternoon, sir. 
Q.
Just so the jury knows, you and I have never spoken 
before; is that correct? 
A.
Not at all. 
Q.
It's the first time we're speaking; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You mentioned on direct examination your law enforcement 
career, which goes back to, I believe -- I was taking notes 
here.  So if I'm incorrect in stating something, please 
correct me.  But I'm taking notes because it's the first time 
we've spoken -- since 1993; is that right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
You worked with the Department of Corrections for several 
years? 
A.
Four years. 
Q.
Four years? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And then you started working for BSO; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir.

And when you get hired as a deputy detention officer -- 
let's go back to the Department of Corrections.  
When you get hired as a detention officer starting 
with the Department of Corrections, you don't get hired and 
just show up for work the first day and start working as an 
officer; correct?  You get some training? 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection.  Relevance, Judge. 
THE COURT:  Overruled. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Go ahead.  
A.
Actually, yes.  At South Florida Reception Center, yes, we 
did. 
Q.
You get some training? 
A.
No training. 
Q.
No training.  Okay.  
So you just showed up for work one day after being 
hired and started working as a -- 
A.
Not until you go to the academy. 
Q.
Okay.  So you went to the academy; is that right?  When 
did you go to the academy? 
A.
I can't remember that year, sir. 
Q.
Was that -- 
THE COURT:  Could you -- I'm sorry.  Please lean

BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Did you go to the academy when you became, at some point 
during your career, a detention officer for the Department of 
Corrections? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Did you go back to the academy when you got hired by BSO? 
A.
For?  
Q.
As a deputy detention officer for the Broward Sheriff's 
Office.  
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  All right.  So you went to the academy, I guess, 
sometime after -- what is it?  1993? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  And the academy is several weeks long of training; 
isn't that right? 
A.
About three months. 
Q.
Three months of training. 
And was that training the academy at Broward College? 
A.
I went to Miami Dade Community College for the corrections 
academy. 
Q.
So you went to corrections academy at Miami Dade College.  
And when you went to the academy, you got trained on various 
aspects of being a deputy detention officer; is that right? 
A.
Yes.

And you got trained on various aspects including the 
following:  You got trained on how to obtain statements and 
information from a particular individual you're interviewing; 
is that right? 
A.
Not in corrections, no. 
Q.
Well, let me ask you this.  When you started -- when you 
were working as -- once you passed the academy, if an incident 
happened at the jail and there's a fight -- right? -- did you 
have to write reports? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
At the academy, were you trained on how to write a report? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Were you trained on being very careful when writing a 
report? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You want to be accurate in writing a report; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You want to be detailed in writing a report; correct? 
A.
Yes.

Because the report is your account -- a record of whatever 
incident you're investigating; correct? 
A.
Correct.

Q.
And as a deputy detention officer both at the Department

would have to, at times, do investigations; is that right -- 
of incidents? 
A.
Okay. 
Q.
Is that fair? 
A.
Not really, but okay. 
Q.
Well, I don't want you to say okay.  You're the one 
testifying, sir.  
A.
No, I never conducted any investigations.
Q.
But you did write reports? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you do agree you have to be careful and accurate in 
your reports; right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
As part of your training and career as a detention 
officer, not only did there come times that you would have to 
write a report about an incident, but you would have to know 
about the various security levels of a particular inmate; 
correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  You would have to understand the classification 
process for assigning a security level to a particular inmate; 
correct? 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection to relevance.

what's involved in this case. 
MR. ZACCA:  I'll tie it up, Judge.  Fair enough. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
You mentioned that you became a police officer; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
When did you go to the police academy? 
A.
I went to the Cross Academy when I was employed by the 
Broward County Sheriff's Office. 
Q.
Okay.  And what year was that? 
A.
Maybe 1998, '99. 
Q.
Okay.  So the police academy is different from the 
detention officer academy; right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And at the police academy, you were also now trained to do 
investigations; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Trained to ask critical questions when doing an 
investigation; right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Trained on interviewing individuals; correct? 
A.
Well, that's when we believe a crime has been committed. 
Q.
Yes, sir.  
But the answer is yes?

Q.
And precise?  Yes? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  Now, during your direct testimony -- I didn't want 
to -- Judge, I'm sorry.  You were reading something and I did 
not want to speak while you were reading -- 
THE COURT:  Go right ahead. 
MR. ZACCA:  Okay.  Fair enough. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
All right.  We talked about your law enforcement career.  
We talked about your training at both academies.  And we 
also -- you also testified about how you went to school to 
become a licensed funeral director; is that correct? 
A.
A licensed funeral director and an embalmer. 
Q.
An embalmer? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And in order to be licensed, you have to go to school; 
correct? 
A.
Yes, sir.

correct me if I'm wrong -- you worked at various funeral 
homes; correct?

And in dealing with all these vendors that provide

And when you have these contracts, do you review them? 
A.
I initiate the contracts --
Q.
Yes.  
A.
-- to go into contracts or agreement with them. 
Q.
Right, right.  
But you don't just simply sign the agreement and 
that's it.  You want to understand the terms of the contract; 
correct? 
A.
It all depends on what kind of contract we're talking 
about. 
Q.
Okay.  All right.  Well, what are the types of contracts 
that you do read? 
A.
Anything pertaining to financial contracts that I make 
because that's what I'm regulated by the state board to do.  I 
have to -- I have to monitor those to make sure that

That I initiate as the funeral director. 
Q.
That's right.  
But do you read them, yes? 
A.
Because I have to. 
Q.
Okay.  And also if it's costing you money, you want to 
know how much money it's costing you; right?

Those don't cost me money.  Those are contracts I give to 
families.

How about the contracts that cost you money?  Do you read 
those?

I mean, those are kind of important things to know, how 
much you pay on a mortgage; right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
And interest rate; correct? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
Your funeral home is a successful funeral home, isn't it? 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection, Judge.  That's argumentative. 
THE WITNESS:  What's your definition -- 
THE COURT:  One moment.  One moment. 
On that basis, overruled. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
You may answer, sir.  
A.
What's your definition of success?  
Q.
Okay.  Is it profitable?  Do you make money? 
A.
It's profitable. 
Q.
In 2019, did you report that you made $345,000 in sales? 
A.
Sir, I cannot answer any questions on documents that I 
don't have.

asking you just so you know.  It's your business, sir.  
In 2019, did your funeral home make approximately 
$345,000 in sales? 
A.
Again, I'm not going to confirm nor deny any numbers that 
I'm not familiar with. 
THE COURT:  But the question is how much did you 
make?  Now, you need to be specific.  Gross?  What is it that 
you're asking?  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
And I'll repeat the question, Judge. 
In 2019, did you approximately make at Wade Funeral 
Homes in gross sales $345,359? 
A.
If that's what the documents say -- 
THE COURT:  That's not what he's asking you, sir.  
He's asking you what the amount was that the business grossed. 
THE WITNESS:  But honestly, Your Honor, I don't 
remember. 
THE COURT:  All right.  That's the answer. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
All right.  What do you remember your business made in 
2019 in gross sales?  What do you remember? 
A.
I don't remember.  Honestly, I don't. 
Q.
Okay.  How much in profits did your business make in 2019? 
A.
I don't think we made a profit.

Q.
200- or $300,000 in profit in 2020? 
A.
No.  I'm not sure because I don't have the documents, so 
I'm -- I don't want to say yes to something that I'm not sure 
about. 
Q.
But, sir, I'm not asking you for a precise number.  I'm 
asking you for an approximation.  That's it.  An 
approximation.  
A.
Approximately, between 100 or 200.  I'm not sure --
Q.
Okay.  
A.
-- if so. 
Q.
In 2021, approximately how much did Wade Funeral Home make 
in profits in the year 2021?  
A.
I can't give you the answers to those questions because I 
don't recall them.  I do my taxes annually.  I give them to my 
CPA.  If I owe, I owe.  If I don't -- I don't get any returns 
from it, so... 
Q.
So you can't tell this jury how much Wade Funeral Home 
made in profits in the year 2021? 
A.
No, I can't. 
Q.
How about the year 2022?

A.
I ended up owing about 7,000 or something dollars, if I'm 
correct. 
Q.
Who did you owe the money to?  I asked profits.  
A.
Say 200,000, I guess -- a hundred -- I'm not sure. 
Q.
How about in 2023 -- last year -- how much in profits did 
Wade Funeral Home make? 
A.
Sir, in all due honesty, I cannot answer your questions 
because I trust my CPA to handle that, and she's been my CPA 
from the inception of my business. 
Q.
Let me repeat my question.  
Can you give this jury an estimation -- an 
approximation based on your memory of how much Wade Funeral 
Home made in 2023?  We're talking about last year.  
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection.  Asked and answered, Judge. 
THE COURT:  Overruled.  
THE WITNESS:  I can't give you a definite answer 
because I don't remember or recall.  I don't know the numbers.  
If you have it, I can look at it and probably confirm it. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
You mentioned various vendors that you have contracts 
with -- some of which you have contracts with.  Can you name 
some of them?  What are some of the vendors? 
A.
Stericycle, Batesville, Matthews Caskets, floral 
companies -- multiple companies.  Limousine companies. 
Q.
And these contracts that you have with these various

vendors that you just described, are these contracts where 
they're paying Wade Funeral Home money or are you paying Wade 
Funeral Home money? 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection.  Relevance, Judge. 
THE COURT:  Let me have you all come sidebar, please. 
(The following proceedings were held sidebar:) 
THE COURT:  I'm having a little difficulty trying to 
figure out the relevance of where we're going.  And so where 
are we going with this?  
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, where I'm going is this.  He 
represented himself as trusting entirely Eduardo Rivero and 
being qualified for this loan -- this PPP loan.  He testified 
he got two PPP loans and then thought it was a good idea and 
gave it to his wife and didn't read anything, didn't review 
anything, which cuts against the sophisticated businessman -- 
THE COURT:  I don't know about that.  You know, if 
that's where you're going -- but you get one more question.  
Let's move on.  Let's try to get to the facts of this case. 
MR. ZACCA:  Okay.  Fair enough, Judge.  Fair enough. 
(The following proceedings were held in open court:) 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
I'm going to ask you one other question in this area and 
then we're going to move on to another area.  Okay? 
A.
Sure. 
Q.
All right.  With the various vendors that you talked about

and the various -- and some of those vendors you have written 
contracts with, do you have a habit of reading those contracts 
and the terms of those contracts? 
A.
I never said I had any written contracts with anyone. 
Q.
Okay.  So you don't have written agreements with these 
vendors that you've described? 
A.
No, sir. 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, I don't know if we could have the 
screen available for this particular witness and the jury.  
I'm showing an exhibit that's already in evidence in this 
case, Government Exhibit 600.  I would like to go over it with 
the witness. 
THE COURT:  Do you want to publish it with the 
screen?  
COURT CLERK:  You're connected. 
MR. ZACCA:  Okay.  Is it showing up?  I don't see it 
on the...  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Sir, I'm showing you what is marked as Government 
Exhibit 600.  It's in evidence.  
During your direct testimony, you mentioned a home in 
Coral Springs and you mentioned a home in Port St. Lucie.  Can 
you take a look at your screen here -- 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
-- and see the address -- I'll grab it for you so you can

A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
What address is that? 
A.
6110 Reese Road, Apartment 207. 
Q.
Davie, Florida.  Is that another property you have in 
Davie, Florida? 
A.
That's the apartment we lived in when we sold both 
properties. 
Q.
Okay.  So which properties?  The Port St. Lucie property 
and the Coral Springs property? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
When did you move to this Davie address? 
A.
I can't recall the dates on it. 
Q.
2019?  2020?  
A.
I guess '20, '21.  I'm not sure. 
Q.
Okay.  But you lived at this address? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you had Internet service at this address; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
I'm also going to -- let me see if I can highlight this.  
There's a contact email on Government Exhibit 600.  Do you see 
that? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
That's your wife's email; right?

her maiden name.

Her maiden name is Kidd --

You have Verizon -- correct? -- you and your wife?

(954) 274-6800. 
Q.
That's her phone; correct? 
A.
Yes, it is. 
Q.
It shows the phone number and a Note20 Ultra 5G; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You described your lack of knowledge about the Paycheck 
Protection Program; right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Now, in 2020, where did you live in Davie, that apartment 
we saw, or did you live in Coral Springs? 
A.
Before we moved in any apartment, we were in Coral 
Springs. 
Q.
So during the beginning of the pandemic, you lived in

Before that. 
Q.
Well, when did you move from Port St. Lucie to Coral 
Springs? 
A.
Can you read -- say what you're trying to say because I 
don't understand.  I'm not understanding you. 
Q.
Okay.  Quite frankly, I'm not understanding you.  
When did you have -- 
A.
You're asking me what year?  
THE COURT:  One moment.  One moment.  Questions, 
understood?  
MR. ZACCA:  Yes, sir. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
When did you move from Port St. Lucie to Coral Springs? 
A.
I'm not exactly accurate on the year of that either.  I 
can't tell you the year -- exact year. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, let's use the pandemic as a starting point -- 
as a reference point, rather.  The pandemic is -- would you 
agree the pandemic started around March -- the shutdowns in 
March of 2020? 
A.
Possibly, yes.  Possibly.  A little later in the year. 
Q.
Okay.  Spring of 2020, does that sound fair? 
A.
Okay.

Q.
Well, based on your memory.  I mean, just based on your 
life.  If I asked you when do you recall the shutdowns began 
as a result of the pandemic? 
A.
Honestly, sir, I have so many things going on in my life I 
can't accurately deny or confirm what you're asking me. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, in the year 2020, you do recall there was 
shutdowns?  Yes? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You do recall there were shutdowns because of the 
pandemic?  Yes? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You do recall that as a result of the shutdowns, the 
United States Government came out with various programs to 
help businesses; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And those programs included the Paycheck Protection 
Program; correct? 
A.
At the time, I was unaware of it.  I didn't know the names 
of what the programs were. 
Q.
Okay.  So throughout the year of 2020, you never heard the 
term Paycheck Protection Program? 
A.
The first time I actually heard about the Paycheck 
Protection Program was when Eduardo Rivero approached me about

it. 
Q.
In 2021? 
A.
Whenever he approached me about it, that's when I heard 
about it. 
Q.
Well, the loan that we're all here for, when did that loan 
come out? 
A.
Say again.
Q.
The loan that's the subject of this case, what year was it 
obtained? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the exact dates on what you're asking 
me, so I can't ask you -- answer you with truthful answers. 
Q.
Okay.  So the answer is you don't know? 
A.
No, I don't. 
Q.
All right.  You do agree, though, that you knew of the 
loan program called the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program? 
A.
It sounds familiar through SBA or something like that. 
Q.
Through the SBA; that's right.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you know what the SBA is, don't you? 
A.
Small Business Association, if I'm correct. 
Q.
Small Business Administration? 
A.
Administration, yes. 
Q.
The Economic Injury Disaster Loan, otherwise known as 
EIDL; right?  You know about that? 
A.
Well, I don't know the name or the details of it.  I know

about the potential loan you're talking about. 
Q.
I'm just going to ask you flat out.  Did you get an 
Economic Injury Disaster Loan for Wade Funeral Home in the 
year 2020? 
A.
I don't know it to be that name.  I got an SBA loan which 
I do have through the SBA. 
Q.
Okay.  And you got that for your business Wade Funeral 
Home in 2020? 
A.
Okay.  
Q.
Yes? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And as part of that loan that you got from the SBA, you 
familiarized yourself with the qualifications to get an 
Economic Injury Disaster Loan in the year 2020; correct? 
A.
I wouldn't say I familiarized myself with it. 
Q.
Well -- 
A.
I just followed the process of what I knew to do going 
through it because it was -- you read the instructions and 
they would tell you what to do and submit what it asked you -- 
Q.
And you yourself did it; correct? 
A.
Okay.  Yes. 
Q.
You had the wherewithal to fill out the application, 
recognize what was qualified to get the loan, and submit it to 
the SBA; correct? 
A.
It didn't go through quite as easy as you're saying.  It

didn't go that way. 
Q.

A.
Eventually I got it. 
Q.
You got it in the year 2020? 
A.
I don't know exactly when, but I eventually got it. 
Q.
Okay.  If I showed you the loan agreement and promissory 
note that you signed for the EIDL loan, would that help 
refresh your recollection as to when you got it? 
A.
It will confirm the year, but I know about the loan.  I 
pay it every month. 
MR. MCCRAY:  Your Honor, Ms. Wade needs a bathroom 
break.

ladies and gentlemen.  
(Jury exited at 12:50 PM.) 
THE COURT:  You may step down, sir.  We will resume 
at 2:00 PM.  
So how long do you think this hearing is going to 
take?  How long do you think listening to testimony?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, I don't think it should -- from 
my side, probably 15 minutes or 20 minutes. 
THE COURT:  All right.  How many additional witnesses 
do you have for today?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, I believe this is going to be it.

I've spoken to my client.  She's not going to testify.  We 
have two exhibits that we've agreed will be produced. 
THE COURT:  So this is probably your last witness?  
MR. MCCRAY:  That's correct, Judge.  
THE COURT:  So why don't we have the evidentiary 
hearing when we complete your case in chief because really the 
relief you're seeking is independent of anything that we would 
do trialwise.  What if we find out that the witnesses are 
available -- if that's a possibility -- what would we do in 
that event?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Well, Judge, I guess perhaps we should 
proffer -- not proffer but do an in camera proceeding, but 
they've indicated to me unequivocally through their attorney 
that they would be invoking the Fifth, and I know I can't -- 
THE COURT:  Well, I don't know.  Maybe we have to 
find out if they have a legitimate Fifth Amendment privilege.  
People say they have the privilege but maybe they don't, so -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  That's why I still wanted them here.  I 
didn't excuse them. 
THE COURT:  Well, then they should be here.  
MR. MCCRAY:  They have been here.  They've been here 
since 9 o'clock this morning.  We're waiting for their 
attorney. 
THE COURT:  We'll break for lunch, we'll finish, 
we'll have the hearing, and then we can decide that we will do

from that point on.  Thank you.  We are in recess.  We're 
going to give you a draft of the instructions for your 
information.  Many of those are instructions that were 
submitted.  In some instances maybe the issue hasn't been 
raised sufficiently, but we'll see where we are at the 
conclusion of the evidence and then we can decide what 
instructions will be given. 
MR. SNIDER:  So, Your Honor, just -- sorry, Your 
Honor. 
THE COURT:  Yes, sir. 
MR. SNIDER:  So just for scheduling purposes, does 
the Court anticipate closing arguments today, or we don't know 
yet?  
THE COURT:  I'm not sure. 
MR. SNIDER:  Yeah. 
THE COURT:  I don't know how long the hearing is 
going to take and how long the redirect will be.  You know, 
we're getting close to the end of the day --

THE COURT:  -- so... 
MR. SNIDER:  What time was the Court thinking of 
adjourning for today?  
THE COURT:  4:30.  I'm not -- well, I don't know.  
Let's wait and see what happens. 
MR. SNIDER:  Very well.  Thank you, Judge.

MR. ZACCA:  Thank you, Judge. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Where we last left off, I was asking you questions about 
an Economic Injury Disaster Loan that you applied for in the 
year 2020.  And I believe my last question to you was, do you 
recall when you signed the note and the agreement, and you 
didn't recall; is that right? 
A.
Can you repeat the whole question?  
Q.
Sure. 
When did you sign your Economic Injury Disaster Loan 
in the year 2020 for your business Wade Funeral Home? 
A.
I don't know. 
Q.
If I showed you the loan agreement for the Economic Injury 
Disaster Loan with your signature, would that help refresh 
your recollection? 
A.
Yes, it would.
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, may I approach?  
THE COURT:  Yes, sir. 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, for the record, I am providing a 
document marked for identification as 2000.

And in the interest of time, I'll let you look through the 
whole document.  In fact, look through the whole document and 
if I can help you, it's on page -- if you actually go to the 
last page, you'll see a signature and you'll see it again on 
page 7 as well. 
Do you now recall the date that you signed this 
Economic Injury Disaster Loan? 
A.
Okay.  8/25/2020. 
Q.
2020? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  And when you signed this Economic Injury Disaster 
Loan, did you make sure that your representations to qualify 
for the loan were true and accurate? 
A.
I went back and forth with my CPA on getting this filled 
out. 
Q.
Okay.  But ultimately you signed it; right, sir? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And did you make sure that you were truthful and accurate 
before you signed that loan application? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  And it's your testimony that while you knew about 
the Economic Injury Disaster Loan in the year 2020, you did 
not know anything about the Paycheck Protection Program loan 
in the year 2020.  Is that your testimony?

A.
I don't know if the dates align.  I don't know. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, let me ask it this way.  
You just testified you signed this loan agreement --
A.
Yes. 
Q.
-- the Economic Injury Disaster Loan on August 25, 2020. 
The moment that you signed this agreement, did you 
know anything about the Paycheck Protection Program loan? 
A.
By signing this agreement?  
Q.
No.  
Did you know about it in general? 
A.
No.  No, sir.  
Q.
You were asked questions on direct examination about your 
wife's business.  Do you recall those questions? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
1 Step A-Head; is that right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
I'm showing you what has been introduced into evidence as 
Government Exhibit 201.  Do you see that in front of your 
screen? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
I represent to you that this is your wife's tax return on 
file with the IRS.  Do you have any reason to dispute that? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Was your wife's business a home business? 
A.
Yes, it was.

Q.
So -- and in this case, in 2019, it was a home business at 
your home in Coral Springs? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
It had nothing to do with Port St. Lucie, did it? 
A.
No.  We weren't in Port St. Lucie. 
Q.
So let's talk about your wife's business for a moment.  
Did she have a website? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Did she have any flyers for this business? 
A.
She had business cards. 
Q.
Business cards. 
Did she have any social media for this business? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Facebook? 
A.
No, sir.
Q.
Instagram? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Did she keep receipts for this business? 
A.
Yes, she did. 
Q.
Did she keep invoices for this business? 
A.
I can't ask -- I don't know the answers to all of that. 
Q.
Do you have photographs of the setup of this business at 
the house? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Can you describe how the setup is at the house back in

2019? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
You can't describe it? 
A.
Chairs -- just hairstylist equipment in our remodeled 
garage. 
Q.
So she cut hair in the garage? 
A.
She didn't cut hair. 
Q.
She styled hair in the garage? 
A.
Yeah.  
Q.
I'm sorry? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Just so the record is clear.  
Was this a profitable business? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
It's your wife.  It's your wife's business.  You had no 
idea about whether your wife's business made money? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
You never, in your years of marriage, never asked your 
wife, "Honey, how's the 1 Step A-Head business doing?" 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection.  Asked and answered, Judge. 
THE COURT:  On that basis, overruled. 
THE WITNESS:  Sir, may I explain -- 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Well -- 
A.
-- with that answer?

Q.
-- you can explain -- certainly you can explain.  But is 
the answer yes or no?  And then you can provide an 
explanation, if necessary.  
A.
So can you repeat your question, please?  
Q.
Did you ever, in your years of marriage with your wife, 
ever talk about the profitability of 1 Step A-Head? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Is there an explanation that you wanted to add to that?  
A.
In all of our years of being together, my wife has never 
asked me about the profit of Wade Funeral Home. 
Q.
Okay.  In 2019 -- your wife did her own taxes; right? 
A.
I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
You don't know if she self-prepared her own taxes? 
A.
No, I do not. 
Q.
Do you know if she hired an accountant? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
Well, in 2019, $6,770 was reported in car and truck 
expenses for 1 Step A-Head.  Any idea what those expenses were 
for? 
A.
It could have been for maintenance on the vehicle.  It 
could have been for gas.  It could have been for tires.  It 
could have been for bunches of things.
Q.
But she didn't travel anywhere to see customers.  
Customers came to her at the garage.  
A.
She went to conventions.  She went to people's houses.

Yes, she did.  
Q.
Now, she reported total expenses in the year 2019 of 
$25,000.  Does that sound about right, as far as you know?  
A.
I don't understand the question, sir. 
Q.
You don't know -- 
A.
You're asking me is that what I'm seeing here or is that 
an accurate number?  
Q.
Does that seem accurate to you seeing that number there on 
the tax return? 
A.
Sir, I don't know where the number came from because I 
don't know what expenses she had, so I can't answer it. 
Q.
Okay.  Would it surprise you to know that in the year 2019 
she reported -- well, let's get to the right line -- that she 
reported a loss of $18,615? 
A.
Would it surprise me?  
Q.
Yes.  
A.
No, not at all because I've never looked at any of her 
taxes to be surprised in a positive or negative way. 
Q.
Okay.  Let's look at the year 2018, the year before.  
In the year 2018, she reported a loss of $30,330 for 
this home hairstylist business that apparently was in your 
Coral Springs garage.  Does that surprise you? 
A.
I'm not surprised either/or. 
Q.
And reported a gross income of $3,500.  Does that sound 
about right?

Q.
In the year 2019, she reported a gross income of $6,800.  
Does that sound about right for the year 2019? 
A.
Sir, again, I don't know the answers to her tax documents. 
Q.
Would your answers be the same for 2020?  Do you have any 
idea about 2020 -- her taxes?  Does your answer change? 
A.
Sir, I don't know anything about any of her taxes. 
Q.
Okay.  And the business is 1 Step A-Head; correct?  The 
name.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
The name is not Carolyn Wade, is it? 
A.
No, it's not. 
Q.
Does it surprise you -- 
THE COURT:  Mr. Zacca. 
MR. ZACCA:  Yes, sir. 
THE COURT:  You have to lay a foundation that he 
knows anything about which you are asking him because we're -- 
MR. ZACCA:  I'll move on.  I'll move on.  
THE COURT:  Okay.  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
You testified earlier that while you were a detention 
officer with the Broward County Sheriff's Office you also 
owned Wade Funeral Home; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And I think you said you owned Wade Funeral Home starting

in 2010? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
You're familiar with a policy at the Broward County 
Sheriff's Office of reporting any outside employment; correct? 
A.
Absolutely. 
Q.
And you're aware of the policy of reporting any business 
that you own outside of employment at Broward County Sheriff's 
Office? 
A.
Yes, I am. 
Q.
So then in light of that policy, you knew to report Wade 
Funeral Home to the Broward County Sheriff's Office; correct? 
A.
I did not do it every year. 
Q.
Well, you did it in the year -- well, you reported your 
work as a licensed funeral director in the year 2010; is that 
right? 
A.
I did it periodically.  It wasn't done every year. 
Q.
Okay.  Do you remember doing it in 2010? 
A.
I don't know what year, but I have done it there. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you report your business Wade Funeral Home in 
the year 2013? 
A.
If you have it, yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, do you have any reason to dispute that? 
A.
No.  What I'm saying is I did it periodically.  It's not 
something that's enforced with the sheriff's office. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, if I showed you your off-duty employment form

for the years that you filed it, would that refresh your

A.
I'm not denying I didn't do it.  I did it some years. 
Q.
No, and I agree that you did.  
But I want to ask you what years you remember doing 
it, the years you filed it.  
A.
Oh, I don't know the years. 
Q.
Okay, but if I showed you the forms, would that help 
refresh your recollection as to the years? 
A.
Yes. 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, may I approach the witness?  
THE COURT:  Sure. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
You can look through these pages here, and I'll ask you 
questions about the years, see if it refreshes your 
recollection.  
A.
Okay.  I'm ready. 
Q.
Did you report outside employment to the Broward County 
Sheriff's Office as a licensed funeral director in the year 
2010?  You can go to the last page of that set of documents.  
A.
2010, yes. 
Q.
Did you report your ownership of Wade Funeral Home and 
outside employment in the year 2013? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
In the year -- and, again, for Wade Funeral Home in the

A.
Yes. 
Q.
And in the year 2017? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
I'll retrieve that document now.  Thank you. 
And you did this because you had, in fact, a business 
to report; correct? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Well, it was the policy of the Broward County Sheriff's 
Office? 
A.
But that policy is only enforced based on the command that 
you're under.  It's a known fact a lot of deputies did have 
outside employment that do not do that. 
Q.
And yet you did it? 
A.
Periodically. 
Q.
I want to show you Government Exhibit 601.  
You had Internet service at Wade Funeral Home; 
correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And Wade Funeral Home was located at 315 Pembroke Road in 
Hallandale Beach, Florida; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And that's where the service went; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Mr. Wade, on May 4, 2021, you created an account for

Carolyn Wade.  Is that your testimony? 
A.
No, I'm not saying I created an account.  I don't recall 
what happened.  I just know that I spoke with Eduardo Rivero, 
got whatever information at that given time following the 
instruction.  So to give you the exact order in which it went 
and what I did, I don't know the exact answers to that. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, let's talk about Eduardo Rivero. 
You said you knew him through the funeral home 
business; is that right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
But you really had -- if I understood your testimony 
correctly, you really had conversations with Eduardo Rivero, 
not so much Haydee Granados; is that right? 
A.
I had conversations with her. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, how many conversations did you have with 
Haydee Granados prior to May 4th, 2021? 
A.
A conversation here or there pertaining to preneed and 
something -- or pertaining to the funeral homes. 
Q.
Is Haydee Granados a CPA? 
A.
I don't know exactly what Haydee Granados is. 
Q.
So you took advice from somebody whose background you know 
nothing about? 
A.
I had no reason to disbelieve.  I had no reason not to 
trust them. 
Q.
But you never bothered to ask whether Haydee Granados had

some sort of background in PPP loans? 
A.
Well, based on our history and the professional 
relationship based on her and me being aware of her doing 
immigration and other things as far as the funeral home went, 
I, again, had no reason not to trust her or him for that fact. 
Q.
I want to make sure I understand your testimony correctly.  
Is it your testimony that you did nothing with regard to the 
Womply application process for the PPP loan, the Paycheck 
Protection Program loan, for Carolyn Wade? 
A.
That's not what I'm saying, no, sir.  I'm saying that I 
did pretty much 90 percent of what they instructed me to do, 
and then I turned over whatever sign-in -- login information 
to Haydee Granados and she completed everything that was 
there. 
Q.
Okay.  So let's go through that, then.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
You started this process on May 4, 2021; is that right? 
A.
Okay.  Yes. 
Q.
Well, let me ask you.  Do you have any reason to disagree 
with what's on your screen? 
A.
No.  I just want to find the date; that's all. 
Q.
Okay.  All right.  So walk us through it.  On May 4, 2021, 
from Wade Funeral Home, you what? 
A.
I can't walk you through it because it's back and forth 
phone calls.  I'm running my business, and I'm getting back

and forth phone calls with instructions on what needs to 
happen in a timely manner.  So I can't recollect that at this 
given time. 
Q.
All right.  Did you put in the name of the business? 
A.
I don't recall what I put in. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, if the name of the business on the Paycheck 
Protection Program loan is Carolyn Wade, that must have been 
typed in by you? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  So then you're saying -- who typed it in? 
A.
Everything that I sent to Haydee Granados said 1 Step 
A-Head.  Everything. 
Q.
Everything here on your screen -- and I represent to you 
everything on your screen here is IP address information in 
this case that's been introduced as evidence showing 
transactions to the Carolyn Wade Paycheck Protection Program 
application from Wade Funeral Home on May 4, 2021.  Did you 
make those Womply transactions? 
A.
If -- I need to know which transactions are they to verify 
it.  If you're saying the funeral home's IP address, then I 
must have. 
Q.
Okay.  So you did do transactions yourself? 
A.
But I don't know what transactions we're referring to. 
Q.
So this is not a situation where Haydee Granados is 
sitting next to you at Wade Funeral Home doing the application

From?  
Q.
From Wade Funeral Home on May 4, 2021.  
A.
Sir, I wouldn't know how to fill it out. 
Q.
Okay.  So then you're saying Haydee Granados was next to 
you at Wade Funeral Home filling this out? 
A.
No.  We were back and forth on the phone conversations 
with the Verizon phone log proofs. 
Q.
Okay.  So then you're the one at Wade Funeral Home making 
these Womply transactions on May 4, 2021? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay -- 
THE COURT:  We're hearing some odd noises.  I'm not 
sure of the source.  It sounds like it may be coming from 
Floor 14.  
MR. ZACCA:  May I continue, Judge?  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
On your screen is Government Exhibit 102.2E.  It's an 
Excel spreadsheet which provides more detailed information 
with regard to the Womply transactions.  
You don't dispute, since you're the one there at Wade 
Funeral Home, putting in the name of the business, the phone 
number -- you don't need Haydee Granados to know the name of 
your wife's business, do you?

Q.
Okay.  
A.
So I don't know how the original application got started.  
I was just prompted to go ahead and do this or that. 
Q.
Okay.  On May 4th, 2021, if all the information comes from 
Wade Funeral Home, according to the IP address information, 
that's coming from you; correct? 
A.
If you're saying I put it in, but there's no way all of it 
could have come from Wade Funeral Home on that date. 
Q.
So is it your testimony that prior to May 4, 2021, other 
data was entered into Womply for your wife? 
A.
Can you repeat that question?  
Q.
Yes.  
Are you here testifying that prior to May 4, 2021, 
someone else put information into the Womply website with 
regard to your wife's Paycheck Protection Program loan? 
A.
I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, do you have any reason to dispute that it 
started at your funeral home on May 4, 2021? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
But you can't tell this jury when other information was 
put into Womply prior to May 4, 2021? 
A.
Sir, with all due respect, I can barely remember what 
happened yesterday.  
Q.
Okay.  We talked about May 4, 2021, and the Womply

transactions occurring from Wade Funeral Home.  I'm going to 
move on to another slide which provides some more detail about 
the Womply -- about the events taking place on your wife's 
Paycheck Protection Program loan -- and by the way, she was 
getting a paycheck from Broward County Sheriff's Office in 
2021; right?  She working for them.  
A.
Yeah, she was. 
Q.
And you testified earlier that you didn't understand what 
the Paycheck Protection Program was; right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
And you relied on what Eduardo Rivero told you; right? 
A.
Correct. 
Q.
But don't you agree the name says it all, Paycheck 
Protection Program?  
A.
Well, the way it was explained, you put your documentation 
in -- as long as you're a legitimate business, put your 
documentation in and you see if you qualify.  The objective 
was to see if we qualified. 
Q.
Okay.  But you would agree, Mr. Wade, the name says it 
all, Paycheck Protection Program? 
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection, Judge.  Argumentative.  
THE COURT:  Overruled. 
THE WITNESS:  Yes. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Okay.  I mean, it's not that hard to figure out.  It's in

the title.  You would agree with that; right? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
All right.  We're now looking at some more detailed events 
occurring on May 4, 2021.  
Here you don't dispute the fact that you are the one 
that uploaded a bank document on May 4, 2021; correct? 
A.
So does this relate to the other Excel spreadsheet that 
you showed me?  
Q.
Yes.  But this is another piece of evidence that this jury 
has seen.  And as you can see there, you look in the far left, 
there's a time stamp of May 4, 2021.  And my question to you 
is this:  Did you upload a bank document from Wade Funeral 
Home with regard to this Carolyn Wade Paycheck Protection 
Program application? 
A.
Yes.  Now that I see the documents, so that would explain 
why the Excel spreadsheet shows multiple uploads because it's 
multiple bank statements. 
Q.
And you did it from a Windows desktop; correct? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Because that's the computer you have at Wade Funeral Home; 
correct? 
A.
I have multiple computers, but yes, sir. 
Q.
But in this case you did it from a desktop, a Windows 10 
desktop; correct? 
A.
Where is that on here?  Yes.

Q.
Okay.  On May 13th -- I'm going to go back to slide four 
in Government Exhibit 1000.  
After that event happened on May 4th, the next thing 
that happens is an email is sent to ckidd1226@gmail.com.  
That's your wife's email; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And it's an email from Womply reminding your wife, hey, 
the application's pending.  Let's get it moving.  Do you agree 
with that?  Do you remember that? 
A.
No, I don't remember it. 
Q.
But this is going to your wife's email; correct? 
A.
Where is that -- yes, I see it there. 
Q.
Okay.  And then that triggers various login attempts to 
the Paycheck Protection Program application, and we see here 
that on May 13th -- and we're now looking at slide six -- you 
are now accessing Wade Funeral Home; correct?  Excuse me.  
You're accessing the application from Wade Funeral Home.  
Forgive my question.  
A.
Yes. 
Q.
All right.  And, again, you're doing it from your 
Windows 10 desktop; correct? 
A.
I can't confirm if it's Windows 10 or not. 
Q.
But you're doing it from a computer at Wade Funeral Home?  
Yes? 
A.
Yes.

Q.
All right.  Then later that same day -- in fact, your 
access is at 82317 -- right? -- and 92117?  Yes?  Do you 
disagree? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Yes, you disagree or yes, you agree? 
A.
Yes, I see it on the document. 
Q.
Okay.  And I want to point something else out here.  Much 
has been said about an IP address 125.  I'm looking now, for 
the record, at slide five.  
And do you see that in the third row, IP address 125? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
But below that, you see the IP address ending in .166.  
And it's again from a Windows computer.  If I can just scroll 
up, I'm going to show you .166. 
Do you disagree that the IP address ending in .166, 
according to slide three, is Internet service coming from Wade 
Funeral Home? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
You agree with that? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Okay.  So going back to May 13th, we see at 8:23 AM on 
May 13th you logging in from .166.  Then at 8:34 we see one 
login from IP address 125.  Then at 9:21, back to you, .166.  
With me so far?  
A.
Yes.

Q.
And then after, there's a bunch of logins on that same 
date from IP address .184 from an Android Chrome mobile.  Do 
you see that? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Now, I want to point something out here.  At 9:21 AM 
you're at Wade Funeral Home, .166; correct?  Do you disagree 
with that? 
A.
Yes.  Okay. 
Q.
You agree.  Okay. 
So I'm now sliding to slide six, which again is more 
detail of that activity on May 13, 2021.  823, 921, Wade 
Funeral Home.  And then after that, just -- let's see 921 -- 
less than an hour later that morning, at 10:04, we see 
activity from an Android 11, Model SM-N986U.  That's your 
wife.  That's her phone; correct? 
A.
I don't know, sir. 
Q.
You don't know? 
A.
No, I don't. 
Q.
But you're at Wade Funeral Home and there's another model 
phone -- Samsung phone logging into the Paycheck Protection 
Program application; correct? 
A.
I'm not sure.  You lost me. 
Q.
Okay.  Well, you don't know.  You can't explain this 
activity? 
A.
I'm really lost.  You --

Q.
Well, I'll just make it simple.  
A.
Okay.  
Q.
We're looking at slide seven here in Government 
Exhibit 1000.  
Can you explain the activity following the login that 
I showed you coming from Wade Funeral Home.  Because this is 
afterward.  This is beginning at 10:04 AM.  There's login 
activity from a Note Ultra 5G.  That's your wife's phone.  
A.
The problem with that is she doesn't get rid of her older 
phones.  And those of us that know how phones operate, you can 
have an unactivated phone that's still able to operate as long 
as you have Internet access.  
She keeps a lot of her personal information on phones 
that she's no longer using.  That does not mean the phone is 
inoperable, so I cannot confirm that that's her actual phone. 
Q.
Well, okay.  But according to Womply -- let's look at the 
columns here.  The identifier is a phone number 
1-954-274-6800.  That's your wife's phone number? 
A.
Yes, it is. 
Q.
Okay.  We have an attempted login after your login from 
Wade Funeral Home at 10:04 AM, less than an hour later.  Do 
you see that?  I'm just asking do you see it.  
A.
Yes, sir, I see it. 
Q.
And it's coming from -- it's coming from your wife's 
phone, is it not?

A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
So she is accessing and logging in to see this 
application? 
A.
But what actions is she conducting?  
Q.
Well, my question is, you don't dispute the fact that she 
is accessing the application? 
A.
No, sir.  We never say she didn't. 
Q.
Okay.  So she did access the application? 
A.
At some point she had to. 
Q.
Well, at multiple points, according to what we're looking 
at on slide seven.  Fair?  
A.
Not quite, but yes. 
Q.
Okay.  Is Womply's computer wrong?  
A.
I don't know how to explain that to you, sir. 
Q.
Well, maybe the simple explanation is yes, she's logging 
in several times.  
A.
Right.  Because when she actually went in it -- at the 
time she went in, certain transactions didn't go through and 
she had to go back to redo it again. 
Q.
Let me ask you a question, Mr. Wade.  
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
On May 13, 2021, we just showed how earlier that morning, 
just less than an hour earlier, you were at Wade Funeral Home 
at your desktop working.  You cannot possibly be next to your 
wife less than an hour later -- well, let me ask you this

way -- I'll rephrase the question. 
The bottom line.  You have one, two, three, four, 
five login attempts.  You're not with your wife 24/7, are you? 
A.
No. 
Q.
Of course not.  
A.
No. 
Q.
So when she's not around you, you don't know what she's 
doing; correct? 
A.
But when we lived in the apartment, it was 15 minutes 
apart from the funeral home. 
Q.
Okay.  Coral Springs is 15 minutes from Hallandale Beach, 
Florida? 
A.
I thought you were talking about 6110 Reese Road. 
Q.
So, then, is it your testimony you raced home and then 
grabbed her phone and did all of those logins? 
A.
No, I'm not saying anything.  I'm just saying you said I 
couldn't be there within an hour. 
Q.
I mean, you didn't have to go home.  I mean, you're there 
in front of your computer.  You could finish the job right 
there in front of your desktop at Wade Funeral Home; correct? 
A.
Unless I had a document at the house. 
Q.
Okay.  So you did drive home and grab her phone and do all 
these logins? 
A.
I'm not confirming it, so I don't know. 
Q.
Okay.  I'm going to show you slide eight.  And much has

been talked about with the first row at 8:59 AM.  There's a 
tax document, a Schedule C.  You testified about various 
documents and information, according to you, that was provided 
to Haydee Granados.  Do you recall that? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Bank statements; right? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
A Social Security card? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
A driver's license? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
The one thing you did not say was her Schedule C.  You 
would agree with that; right? 
A.
I did not say it. 
Q.
You didn't say it, okay. 
Did you at any point in time provide the 
Schedule C -- the 2019 Schedule C on file with the IRS -- that 
she filed with the IRS to Haydee Granados? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
So looking at slide eight, we see some more activity 
coming back to an Android 11, Model SM-N986U.  And we see a 
bank document uploaded at 10:44 after that Schedule C.  In 
fact, we see three bank documents and three bank links. 
That's your wife.  That's not you.  
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection, Judge.  There's no question.

MR. ZACCA:  I'll rephrase, Judge.  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Is that you uploading these bank documents and linking 
bank accounts from a Note20 Ultra 5G?  Is that you? 
A.
I don't know the answer to that because she worked 8:00 to 
4:00.  I don't know what day that is.  I was working midnight, 
so I was off during the days. 
Q.
Okay.  We're now looking at slide nine.  Actually, that's 
just more detailed information of Womply transactions taking 
place earlier that morning that we've already talked about 
from Wade Funeral Home, so I'm going to move on.  
And this, again, is slide ten, some more Womply 
transactions coming from the Android app.  That's your wife -- 
correct? -- slide 11? 
A.
Yes, it is. 
Q.
So she did these selfies; correct? 
A.
Yes, she did. 
Q.
And she did it on May 13; right? 
A.
I can't confirm the date, sir. 
Q.
Well, she had to have her phone with her when she took 
these pictures.  
MR. MCCRAY:  Objection, Judge.  There's not a 
question.  Move to strike as to form.

MR. ZACCA:  I'll rephrase. 
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Do you agree with the notion that she had her phone with 
her in order to take these pictures? 
A.
At that time she -- well, she could have used her notepad.  
I don't know.  She didn't have to have her phone. 
Q.
Okay.  I'm now showing you -- that was a session at 
10:09 AM.  I'm showing you slide twelve.  Again, you don't 
disagree that's your wife; right? 
A.
No, I don't. 
Q.
On May 13; correct?  10:20 AM.  
A.
That's what it says on the document. 
Q.
Okay.  It's your testimony -- well, your wife certainly 
signed this; correct? 
A.
I couldn't testify to that, sir.  I don't know. 
Q.
So you're not here to tell this jury that she did not sign 
this loan application on May 18, 2021, because you can't 
testify to it?
A.
Right.  I wasn't there. 
Q.
Okay.  And the same way you weren't there for that signing 
on May 18th, you can't say -- if I can get there.  Bear with 
me.  Well, let me just pull it up.  Government Exhibit 117.  
We're now looking at the loan application signed on May 28th.  
You yourself can't say whether she signed that document

because you weren't there? 
A.
Where was it signed at?  Because I did sign -- I did sign 
her signature with a DocuSign at the funeral home. 
Q.
Well, was it the May 18th loan document, which -- you said 
you weren't there for that signing.  So was it this one that 
you signed, May 28th? 
A.
If I could see the IP address, then I'll tell you which 
one.  
Q.
Showing you page 20 of Government Exhibit 117, that's not 
the -- the IP address ending in .85, that's not the .166 
coming to Wade Funeral Home? 
A.
If I may.  Can I see the seconds that I was in there 
because I would recognize.  It was like 2:15 something.  I was 
only in there for a matter of seconds to get it signed.  I 
clicked it real fast.  That's how I remember it. 
Q.
Do you want me to -- I'll zoom in.  I'll grab it and show 
it to you.  
A.
This is the document I signed. 
Q.
Okay.  So your wife signed the first one.  You signed this 
second one? 
A.
No, I'm not saying she signed anything.  I don't know if 
she signed it or not.  I just know I signed -- 
Q.
You signed this one.  Where were you at when you signed 
it? 
A.
Sir, I can't recall, but I know I signed it.

Economic Injury Disaster Loan that you signed.  Do you 
remember that?  Back in August of 2020.  
A.
The SBA loan I signed?  
Q.
Yes.  
A.
Okay. 
Q.
Do you remember that?  And we talked about how you 
reviewed the application and you wanted to be accurate.  It's 
important.  You know it needs to be accurate.  I mean, you're 
in law enforcement; right?  Right? 
A.
What I said was I went over it with my CPA to make sure 
that everything I put was accurate based on her doing my 
accounting. 
Q.
Okay.  And you verified that it was accurate; correct? 
A.
From what I put in, yes. 
Q.
So you say that you signed Government 117 on May 28th -- 
and I'll go right down to it.  May 28, 2021; right?  We just 
went over that.  
A.
If that's the one I said I signed, yes. 
Q.
Yes.  Okay.  
Before you signed it, did you review it for accuracy? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
You just signed it?

As DocuSign is, I was advised that it was a document ready 
to sign by a phone call.  I went in there and I click, click, 
click, click, click, because it goes to the next, to the next, 
to the next.  I didn't look at anything on it.  I didn't 
review it.  I didn't feel it was a need to review because all 
the information that we gave them was accurate. 
Q.
Well, first of all, I want to point something out here.  
What does it say there is the legal business name? 
A.
Carolyn Wade. 
Q.
Well, that's not the legal business name, is it? 
A.
No, it's not. 
Q.
But you're the one that initiated the application back on 
May 4, 2021, at Wade Funeral Home? 
A.
But the only time I saw this was the night before she was 
taken into custody.  That was my first time laying eyes on her 
name being a business. 
Q.
And then with regard to the claimed gross income, it's 
your -- by the way, you didn't see that number of gross 
income, $113,560? 
A.
No, sir, not until the night before. 
Q.
And you know that your wife's business 1 Step A-Head did 
not gross $113,560? 
A.
As soon as I saw it the night before, I immediately called 
Haydee Granados and asked her why did she input that number 
without authorization, and she said she was advised to put it

in there. 
Q.
You know, you mentioned earlier that you first got two PPP 
loans; right?  Right? 
A.
Yes.  Yes.  Yes, sir. 
Q.
You got two PPP loans and that it worked out for you; 
right? 
A.
To the best of my knowledge, yes. 
Q.
And then later on, Haydee Granados came up to you and 
said, "Why don't you get one for your wife?"  Do you remember 
that? 
A.
No, she didn't.  Her husband did. 
Q.
Her husband did.  Okay.  
So you first got two loans, and then the idea came.  
Let me go and get -- Eduardo said, "Hey, why don't we get one 
for your wife?"  Right? 
A.
No.  His exact words were, "Let's see if your wife 
qualifies for one." 
Q.
Okay.  So -- 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, if I can have one second.  I'm 
trying to find my notebook.  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
When did you first get your first PPP loan? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer. 
Q.
Well, let's use May 4, 2021, since we've been talking 
about that day a lot.  Let's use that date as a reference

point.  
How long before May 4, 2021, did you get your first 
PPP loan? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
Was it a couple months?  Three months?  Four months? 
A.
Sir, I do not know the answer to that time frame. 
Q.
Okay.  How about the second loan?  How long before May 4, 
2021, did you get your second loan? 
A.
I don't know the answer to that either, sir. 
Q.
Can you approximate?  Two?  Three months? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the answer to that. 
Q.
Okay.  How much time between both loans, the first loan 
and the second loan? 
A.
I don't know the exact answer.  Maybe a couple of months.  
I'm not sure.  A couple of weeks.  I don't know. 
Q.
And was the loan -- is that it?  You only got two loans -- 
Paycheck Protection Program loans? 
A.
That's all I recall I received. 
Q.
And was it again through Eduardo Rivero and Haydee 
Granados?  Is that your testimony? 
A.
Everything was done through them. 
Q.
And then just like we saw before, did you have to sign a 
note just like you did for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan?  
Did you have to sign a documentation, a note, or a loan 
application to get those two loans?

MR. ZACCA:  If I could just have a moment.  
THE COURT:  All right.  We need to take a short 
restroom break.  We are in recess.  
(Jury exited at 3:02 PM.) 
THE COURT:  Mr. Zacca, how much more do you 
anticipate taking with this witness?  
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, I think, approximately, no more 
than 30 minutes.  
THE COURT:  All right.  I'm trying to decide when 
we're going to get to this evidentiary hearing.  
All right.  We are in recess.  
(Recess from 3:04 PM to 3:17 PM.)
MR. MCCRAY:  I just wanted to know if the Court would 
like to address this matter before the jury comes out.  The 
prosecutor has a couple of documents that it is seeking to use 
for identification purposes, and I don't think that it's 
relevant to anything, Judge. 
THE COURT:  You don't think?  
MR. MCCRAY:  It's relevant to any of the issues in 
this case.  It's his PPP application. 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, not in front of the witness.  I

would prefer we go sidebar.  We are in the middle of 
cross-examination, Judge.
(The following proceedings were held sidebar:) 
THE COURT:  Is it at least in documents you intend to 
introduce?  
MR. ZACCA:  No.  What I want to ask him is if I show 
at least -- first of all, this is his PPP application.  It was 
signed on -- it's in direct contravention to what he's just 
testified to.  It was signed on May 27, 2021, a day before his 
wife signed her loan.  He testified that he couldn't remember 
when the PPP loan applications were done, and his PPP loans 
were done but they were before -- before he approached his 
wife about getting this -- her loan application.  This is in 
direct contravention to what he testified to.  In 
particular -- 
MR. SNIDER:  No -- 
THE COURT:  One moment, please.  I can only handle 
one at a time. 
MR. SNIDER:  Sorry. 
THE COURT:  So it seems to me that really -- the 
question is do you recall the date you signed your Paycheck 
Protection Program loans. 
MR. ZACCA:  That's exactly right, Judge. 
THE COURT:  All right.  And then the next question is 
is there something that would refresh your recollection.

MR. ZACCA:  Right. 
THE COURT:  And then you're going to show him 
there -- where's the last page -- where's the signature?  
MR. ZACCA:  It appears right here.  
THE COURT:  And then you're going to ask him does 
that refresh your recollection about the date you signed it.  
That's the end of the story. 
MR. ZACCA:  And, Judge, there's one more component 
that I just want to point out.  I'm also going to ask him when 
did he apply for this loan application.  And it was on the 
same date he applied for his wife.  It was on May 4th -- 
THE COURT:  You're going to argue it was the same 
date, but you're going to ask him what was the date and is 
there anything that would refresh your recollection, and then 
you're going to go to this.  Now, whatever that analysis is, 
that's your argument.  
MR. ZACCA:  I don't disagree with that approach, and 
that's exactly what I intend to do. 
MR. MCCRAY:  I don't have any objection to that, 
Judge. 
THE COURT:  Bring the jury in, please.  
(Jury enters at 3:20 PM.) 
THE COURT:  You may continue.

BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
I asked you earlier about when you obtained your first 
Paycheck Protection Program loan and you couldn't recall in 
reference to May 4, 2021.  And I asked you whether you recall 
when you got your second Paycheck Protection Program loan in 
reference to May 4, 2021, and you couldn't recall.  Do you 
remember that? 
A.
Repeat the whole question, please. 
Q.
I'll just ask it again. 
Do you recall when you signed the loan application 
for your Paycheck Protection Program loan? 
A.
For Wade Funeral Home?  
Q.
Well, for -- yes, for Wade Funeral Home.  
A.
No, I don't recall the date. 
Q.
Do you recall the date that you signed your second 
Paycheck Protection Program loan that you obtained? 
A.
No, I do not recall the date. 
Q.
Okay.  If I showed you a loan application for a Paycheck 
Protection Program loan under your name, would that refresh 
your recollection? 
A.
You will be showing me a document -- that wouldn't confirm 
that I signed it.  
Q.
Well, can I -- 
A.
Yes, you can show it to me. 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, I've already shown it to the

defense.  It's marked for identification as 2002. 
THE COURT:  All right.   
BY MR. ZACCA:  
Q.
Did you sign the loan application for your Paycheck 
Protection Program on May 27, 2021? 
A.
Sir, I can't confirm that to be my signature. 
Q.
Okay.  Did you apply for a Paycheck Protection Program on 
May 4, 2021? 
A.
I know I applied for a Paycheck Protection loan.  I don't 
know the exact date, sir. 
Q.
If I showed you a Womply document showing application 
details for a Paycheck Protection Program loan under your 
name, would that refresh your recollection as to when you 
applied for a Paycheck Protection Program? 
A.
If I may see it.  
Q.
Yes.  
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, for the record, I've already shown 
2001 -- it's marked for identification as 2001 -- to the 
defense. 
THE COURT:  Yes, sir.

Q.
I'm going to ask you the question again. 
Did you apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan 
on May 4, 2021, the same day you did your wife's application? 
A.
No, sir.  This says May 4, 2021, but I know for a fact it

was not done the same day. 
Q.
Okay.  
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, may I approach to retrieve my 
documents?  
THE COURT:  You may.  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
So you disagree with those two dates, May 4, 2021, as 
being an application date and May 27, 2021, as being the date 
of signature?  You disagree with those dates? 
A.
Is that showing my IP address, sir?  
Q.
Well, I'm asking the question here.  
A.
Okay. 
Q.
Do you disagree with the dates? 
A.
I disagree --
Q.
Okay.  
A.
-- to my knowledge. 
Q.
Okay.  And you didn't have a business named Tracy Wade; 
correct?  It was Wade Funeral Home; right? 
A.
Absolutely, sir. 
Q.
You testified that after you got your loan application and 
you got your Paycheck Protection Program loan, Eduardo Rivero 
at some point came up to you and said, "Where's my money?"  Do 
you remember that?  You said that.  
A.
Let me clarify it. 
Q.
First of all, did you not testify to that?  Answer that

question first -- 
A.
Something to that effect. 
Q.
Okay.  All right. 
So he demanded $5,000 from you for the Paycheck 
Protection Program loan of $20,000 that he obtained for you? 
A.
He didn't demand it.  That was the agreed-upon cost for 
him processing the application. 
Q.
That's approximately a 25 percent fee.  
Being a law enforcement officer, did it strike any 
suspicion in your mind? 
A.
We've never dealt in any illegal activities.  All the 
documentation that he was provided was clear and accurate.  
And he went further to say that once the process is completed, 
then let his wife know and she will process the forgiveness 
aspect of it. 
Q.
So the answer is no, it didn't create any suspicion in 
your mind? 
A.
Not at all.  It had no reason to. 
Q.
When you approached your wife, according to your 
testimony, your wife said, "Well, do I really" -- something to 
the effect of do I really -- would I really be eligible for 
this Paycheck Protection Program loan because of the money or 
lack of money that's made by her business? 
A.
I don't remember verbatim what she said.  However, when I 
explained the terms behind applying for the loan, she brought

up to question why would I pay the percentage of that amount 
for a loan I have to pay back. 
Q.
So she herself recognized that that doesn't sound like 
this is something that she would be eligible for? 
A.
No, that's not what she was saying. 
Q.
Okay.  
Now, your testimony was that for her $20,000 loan, 
the fee was another, what, $4,000?  $5,000?  What was the fee? 
A.
I never made testimony to that, sir. 
Q.
Well, let's look at some evidence here.  On 6/7 -- we're 
looking at Government Exhibit 1000, slide 22.  Do you see the 
loan from Harvest being credited to the account of your wife, 
of the USAA Classic Checking account? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And then that same day, a thousand dollars is paid over to 
Haydee Granados; is that right? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
And then the next day, there's a check signed by your wife 
and in the memo it says "salary."  Do you see that? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  And then on June 10, another check that she signs 
to you and puts "salary" in the memo.  Do you see that? 
A.
Yes, sir. 
Q.
Did you style hair? 
A.
No.  I gave her the cash and she wrote me the check and I

just put the cash in my bank. 
Q.
Okay.  So let's make it clear.  
You did not do any hairstyling for 1 Step A-Head to 
justify a salary paycheck of $1,000; is that correct? 
A.
No. 
Q.
No, you did or no, you didn't? 
A.
No, I didn't do hair.  No. 
Q.
Okay.  So you're telling me that the reason why just a few 
days later -- what -- two days later she writes you a check 
for a thousand dollars, puts "salary" on the check, because 
you gave her a thousand dollars in cash? 
A.
So the reason I gave her the thousand dollars in cash is 
because we bank with USAA.  USAA is not a local branch.  You 
can't walk in and get money out.  You have to go to multiple 
ATMs and you're charged fees.  
So I have a local bank.  I gave her the cash and she 
gave me the check, and I said put it back in the bank so that, 
therefore, she can conduct her business. 
Q.
This is a joint account.  Why does she have to write you a 
check for a thousand dollars and put "salary" on it?  Why 
can't you just get the thousand dollars from the account? 
A.
She doesn't have a joint account with Wade Funeral Home. 
Q.
Okay.  But you have a joint account with her on this 
account? 
A.
I cashed it at Wade Funeral Home -- I deposited in my

funeral home account. 
Q.
Sir, it doesn't make any sense.  You can simply go to the 
bank account -- 
THE COURT:  One moment.  One moment.  Don't 
characterize evidence.  The jury listens to the evidence and 
they decide what the facts are.  
BY MR. ZACCA:
Q.
Do you disagree that you can simply withdraw the thousand 
dollars in cash from the account that you share with your 
wife? 
A.
USAA is not a local bank.  
Q.
What was that for anyway, the thousand dollars? 
A.
Sir, I just explained.  She has vendors that she pays in 
cash for products.  I took -- I keep cash on hand.  I gave her 
the thousand dollars; she gave me a check.  And if you see the 
back of the check, I deposited it in Truist Bank, which is 
Wade Funeral Home's account. 
Q.
On June 11, 2021, she writes another check to herself and 
puts "salary" in the memo.  Do you see that? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
She's doing that on her own; correct? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Another check on June 16 for $2,000, "salary" in the memo.  
Do you see that? 
A.
Okay.

Q.
And then on June 17, 2021, another check for a thousand 
dollars again to you.  
A.
That's probably because I didn't have cash at the time 
that she did it and she just wrote the check to herself and 
deposited it in the other account we have. 
Q.
Okay.  So this is not a situation where you gave her cash 
and she cut you a check? 
A.
You lost me, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  Why did she -- in this case she wrote a check to 
you on June 17, 2021, for a thousand dollars.  Do you agree? 
A.
Absolutely. 
Q.
And she wrote "salary" in the memo; correct? 
A.
Exactly. 
Q.
Again, was this for cutting or styling hair at 1 Step 
A-Head?  What was this check for? 
A.
The same as the first check because I probably had cash 
then and it was easier for her as opposed to going through all 
the transactions and depositing a check.  I gave her the cash; 
she gave me the check.  And as you see, I deposited it in Wade 
Funeral Home. 
Q.
Well, there's no reason to put "salary" in the memo line.  
It could simply be put "cash"? 
A.
Sir, I don't know the reason behind that. 
Q.
You don't know the reason why your wife wrote "salary" on 
the check?

Q.
And another check on June 24, 2021, again to you for a 
thousand dollars for salary.  Was this check for styling hair 
at 1 Step A-Head? 
A.
The same answer as before, sir. 
Q.
Okay.  This is just simply you gave her cash and she's 
writing a check to you? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
And you can't explain why "salary" appears in the memo 
line in the check? 
A.
Well, when you get the PPP loan, you're able to pay 
yourself.  You're an employee of your business.  So maybe she 
was paying herself.  If I had just read it, maybe that's what 
she was doing. 
Q.
Okay.  But you're certainly and clearly not an employee of 
1 Step A-Head; is that correct? 
A.
No. 
Q.
No, you are or no -- 
A.
I'm not an employee. 
Q.
On July 1, 2021, the same situation.  You're giving her 
cash, she's cutting you a check and writing the word "salary" 
on the memo line? 
A.
Yes, I see it. 
Q.
Mr. Wade, I'm going to ask you an obvious question --

your wife? 
A.
No. 
Q.
You wouldn't lie to -- 
A.
In this occasion here, I'm not lying. 
MR. ZACCA:  All right.  No further questions.  
Judge, can we have a sidebar?  
THE COURT:  Come sidebar, please. 
(The following proceedings were held sidebar:) 
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, I was just approached by defense 
counsel and he wants to introduce these three documents.  He 
wants to introduce these three documents and he did not 
introduce them during his direct, so now I don't have the 
opportunity to cross-examine and ask questions about these 
documents -- 
THE COURT:  Well, were these documents referenced 
during your cross?  
MR. ZACCA:  No. 
MR. MCCRAY:  Yes, they were, Judge.  I'll give you an 
example.  He talked about the fact that the application was 
filed in the name of Carolyn Wade.  This will show that -- 
this canceled check -- here it is again here -- 
THE COURT:  Wait a minute.  Wait a minute.  That is 
the check that -- this is not the check that was referenced on 
his cross; right?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Well, I don't even think that he made

reference to a check.  He just made reference to the fact that 
the name First Step [sic] was not given to the lady -- 
Ms. Granados. 
THE COURT:  There's a check that was given -- when 
you say "the lady," do you mean Ms. Granados?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Granados.  I can't -- 
THE COURT:  So what does this have to do with that?  
MR. MCCRAY:  I'd like the jury to be able to hear 
that Mr. Wade and Ms. Wade were not keeping the First Step 
Ahead hair salon business name away from them, that they 
actually presented it to them -- presented it to them -- 
THE COURT:  But how does this prove that?  This 
doesn't prove what happened between -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  There's an email, Judge, here that was 
sent to Ms. Granados by -- 
THE COURT:  How are you going to authenticate this 
email?  This is Tracy W 764.  And so what is that?  
MR. MCCRAY:  That's his email. 
THE COURT:  All right.  I don't know that. 
MR. MCCRAY:  He stated his name in the beginning, 
Judge. 
THE COURT:  I know but Tracy W 764 doesn't tell me -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  It's Mr. Wade, Judge. 
THE COURT:  This is an email from Carolyn Wade to 
Tracy Wade.  And so what is it that you want to ask him?

MR. MCCRAY:  I want the jury to know that First Step 
Ahead -- that information was actually submitted to 
Ms. Granados. 
THE COURT:  I'm not following you.  I don't know what 
this has to do with Ms. Granados.  This is an email from Tracy 
W 764 to -- H. Granados. 
MR. MCCRAY:  Right.  He sent that to her.  And she on 
her own volition -- Ms. Granados filled out these applications 
and did not include the name that was given to her.  She put 
Carolyn Wade as the sole proprietor as opposed to the name of 
the legal business that the PPP loan was supposed to be 
applied for. 
THE COURT:  Gee, that sounds like a whole bunch of 
argument because this doesn't prove that -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  It shows it was sent to her, Judge. 
THE COURT:  I'm sorry?  
MR. MCCRAY:  It shows it was sent to her.  Now I 
should be able to argue -- 
THE COURT:  Wait a minute.  Is this item in evidence?  
MR. SNIDER:  No.
MR. MCCRAY:  I'm seeking to introduce it into 
evidence. 
THE COURT:  I know but -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  I can lay the foundation. 
MR. SNIDER:  That's outside the scope of his cross.

MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, it was brought up on his 
cross-examination. 
THE COURT:  That what?  What was brought up?  
MR. MCCRAY:  About the fact that the -- that Carolyn 
Wade -- the PPP application was filed as a sole proprietor and 
not in the name that it should have been. 
MR. WILCOX:  Your Honor, may I make a suggestion?  
Your Honor, may I make a suggestion, please?  Would the Court 
consider allowing recross after Mr. McCray enters these -- 
THE COURT:  No, I'm not allowing any recross.  I'm 
just trying to understand how this is relevant.  And I'm 
not -- I hear you telling me about these names, but I'm not 
exactly sure of the point that you're trying to utilize based 
on the cross. 
MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, what I'm saying in a nutshell is 
it has been portrayed before this jury -- 
THE COURT:  Wait a minute.  Don't tell me about the 
cross.  What is it that came out on cross that -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  This is what I'm telling you. 
THE COURT:  You're saying portrayed in front of the 
jury, but on cross-examination counsel said blank -- 
MR. MCCRAY:  On cross-examination counsel introduced 
evidence through testimony that the Wades filed a PPP 
application in the name of a sole proprietor by the name of 
Carolyn Wade.

THE COURT:  Yes. 
MR. MCCRAY:  There's no business called Carolyn Wade.  
We want to show -- because this contradicts that.  Ms. Wade 
and Mr. Wade sent this to Ms. Granados, a canceled check.  
This is one of the documents that she reflected -- 
THE COURT:  Is that this document?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Yes -- well, that's really the same, 
this and this.  You can see the numbers.  They're one and the 
same. 
THE COURT:  Well, I didn't know that. 
MR. MCCRAY:  It's just what I'm telling you, Judge. 
THE COURT:  You're making it sound like I'm supposed 
to know that and I don't.  I can't tell that this and this is 
the same.  You know, this is -- I don't know.  It sounds 
close. 
All right.  I'm going to allow it.  I'm going to 
allow it.  I've listened to you all afternoon on all of these 
extraneous points, so now he's going to make his argument. 
MR. ZACCA:  Understood, Judge. 
(The following proceedings were held in open court:) 
MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, may I approach the witness?  
THE COURT:  Yes, sir.

Do you know what this is on the last photo that I'm 
pointing at? 
A.
That should have been a Social Security card. 
Q.
What did you do with that? 
A.
I sent it to Haydee Granados. 
Q.
Now, did you ever send Haydee Granados any checks for 
Carolyn Wade, sole proprietorship? 
A.
No, not at all.  
MR. MCCRAY:  Judge, essentially we, being both 
parties, we have an unwritten agreement that these two 
documents -- 
THE COURT:  A stipulation?  
MR. MCCRAY:  It's not reduced to writing, Judge. 
THE COURT:  No, but you have a stipulation?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Yes.  I'm sorry.  We do. 
THE COURT:  Do you want to publish it orally?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Yes. 
THE COURT:  Any objection?  
MR. ZACCA:  Judge, with regard to Defense Exhibit 2, 
we do.  We have an objection. 
MR. SNIDER:  No, no.  We've agreed to this. 
MR. ZACCA:  Forgive me, Judge.  I didn't know -- 
that's fine, Judge. 
THE COURT:  Since it's not in writing, just confer 
and make sure that which you're going to publish.  Is that

what you agreed to?  
MR. MCCRAY:  We have.  They are Exhibits 1 and 2.  
Exhibit 1, Judge, is the Broward County Sheriff's Office 
staffing management document showing the dates that an 
individual worked, the number of hours, and basically the 
number of hours that an individual was supposed to work -- 
MR. ZACCA:  Objection.  Objection. 
THE COURT:  One moment.  See, here -- I thought we 
had an agreed upon -- all right.  So here's what we're going 
to do because we're not going to finish today, obviously.  So 
whatever it is you all agree to, reduce it to writing and you 
can publish it on Monday morning. 
MR. MCCRAY:  That's fine, Judge. 
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
The documents, Mr. Wade, that you sent to Ms. Granados -- 
to her or through her husband to her, did you ever send her a 
Schedule C? 
A.
No, I did not. 
Q.
Did you ever see a Schedule C for Carolyn Wade that had on 
it $113,000 income? 
A.
No, I did not. 
Q.
Now, on cross you talked about the Broward Sheriff's 
Office reporting policy.  Did you report every year? 
A.
No.  I worked 25 years there and I think the prosecution 
only showed me about four.

Q.
Okay.  And what did you mean when you indicated that 
the -- that policy was not -- either you said was not enforced 
or wasn't widely enforced.  What did you mean -- 
A.
It wasn't enforced.  It just depended on your command and 
what you were doing.  They didn't enforce it with everyone. 
Q.
Mr. Zacca also asked you about the name Paycheck 
Protection Program.  Doesn't that name tell you what the 
program does? 
A.
Yes. 
Q.
Does the name tell you the criteria for the program? 
A.
No, it does not. 
Q.
Did you ever upload a Schedule C in this case? 
A.
Never. 
Q.
Now, there were login sheets that were presented when the 
Government was standing up just a few minutes ago.  One of 
them was a login.  Four attempts were made.  Were there 
attempts to transmit any fraudulent information? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
On the big megasheet that was presented to you, the sheet 
with the small writing, did that include any fraudulent 
Schedule C documents from you? 
A.
No, sir. 
Q.
Now, counsel asked you when you -- you indicated, I 
believe, that on May 28, when the PPP application was actually 
submitted -- you indicated that you were the one -- I think

Q.
Was your wife with you when you did that? 
A.
No, she was not. 
Q.
When you signed the document basically saying that to the 
best of your knowledge it was true and correct, did you 
indicate that you did not actually read -- 
MR. ZACCA:  Objection.  Leading. 
THE WITNESS:  No, I did not read it -- 
THE COURT:  One moment.  
THE WITNESS:  I'm sorry. 
THE COURT:  Rephrase your question. 
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
Did you read that document, sir? 
A.
No, I did not read it. 
Q.
All of the information -- and I believe you testified that 
you had been requested to produce certain documents to 
Ms. Granados.  Was that information true and correct? 
A.
Yes, it was. 
Q.
Did you have any reason to believe that Ms. Granados would 
falsify -- 
MR. ZACCA:  Objection.  Leading.  
THE COURT:  Sustained.

Q.
Did you have any reason to believe that any of the

information that was in the PPP application was not true and

MR. ZACCA:  Objection. 
THE COURT:  Overruled. 
THE WITNESS:  No. 
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
Was it on your mind at all that something -- 
THE COURT:  You asked that question, Counsel.  Let's 
move on. 
MR. MCCRAY:  All right, Judge.  
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
There was a document that was shown to you.  I believe it 
may have been an application regarding a PPP loan with you, 
and you indicated that you could not confirm that that was 
your signature. 
Did anyone else have the rights or the authority to 
DocuSign -- 
A.
Haydee Granados had access.  
MR. MCCRAY:  I beg the Court's indulgence.  
BY MR. MCCRAY:
Q.
So I believe you indicated, Mr. Wade, that you did 
DocuSign the document dated the 28th; is that correct?  
May 28th.  
A.
For Wade Funeral Home?

Q.

A.
Yes, I did. 
Q.
Now, when you DocuSign a document, based upon your 
experience, does it show the entire document at one time? 
A.
No.  No, it doesn't. 
Q.
Tell us what it shows, if you can remember.  
A.
If I can remember, I think you click it -- I think it's 
different types of DocuSigns if I'm correct.  But it just 
prompts you to click and just takes you to the next, to the 
next, to the next, to the next.  It's not -- it doesn't show 
it like that. 
MR. MCCRAY:  Okay.  Judge, I have nothing further.  
Thank you. 
THE COURT:  All right.  May the witness be excused 
permanently?  
MR. MCCRAY:  Yes, Judge. 
MR. ZACCA:  Yes, Judge. 
THE COURT:  All right.  You may step down, sir.  You 
are excused.  
MR. WILCOX:  Mr. Wade can sit in the gallery now, 
can't he?  
THE COURT:  Yes.
