Ashkar also described Patterson as smart and cunning and said, “He knew what he was doing.”
“If you look at his vision again when our reports went and stopped the door, he was in tears and miserable and sad,” Usher said.
“But at the booth, Ashkar said he was challenging – he knew what he was doing and was clear and smart.
“(Ashkar said Patterson) He knew what happened, was responsible and had his narrative.
“It’s a fascinating and scary exercise to get into your mind.”
