PARKER'S FORMER PARTNER CROSS-EXAMINED

Darnyl Parker never told his partner in the Narcotics Bureau that he and
other detectives raided a Jamaican drug dealer's stash house, or later
confiscated $36,000 in drug proceeds from the dealer, Parker's former
partner testified in U.S. District Court on Tuesday. The testimony came in
the final stages of the nine-week trial, which should be in the hands of
the jury by Thursday or Friday.

Detective Patrick Judge testified that he and Parker had been occasional
partners for the dozen years Judge spent in the bureau, and usual partners
for the three years before Parker's arrest in March 2000 on corruption charges.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul J. Campana asked Judge if Parker ever
mentioned a raid on Jan. 7, 2000, the night that FBI videotapes showed
Parker and other detectives searching a West Avenue apartment the FBI set
up as a drug house.

"No," Judge replied.

"Did he talk about it at the office the next day?" Campana asked.

"No," the detective answered.

Campana ran through a similar set of questions for a return trip by Parker
to the FBI house on Jan. 14, as well as the Feb. 13 stopping of Kevin
White, an FBI undercover agent who testified that he gave up a bag
containing $36,000 to Parker and his three co-defendants.

"Darnyl Parker tell you about it?" Campana asked the detective.

"No," came the reply again.

Judge said he never learned of the raids or money until Parker was
arrested. Prosecutors earlier called police officials who testified there
were no official police reports filed for the raid or the money seized.

Judge was called as a defense witness, by Parker attorney Mark J. Mahoney,
to describe how Judge and Parker arrested Theodore Calhoun in 1999, a
convicted drug dealer who later turned into an FBI informant and star
witness against Parker.

But after testifying that he and Parker turned Calhoun loose, Campana
cross-examined Judge.

Mahoney later tried to soften the testimony by getting Judge to testify
that he also worked some vice squad cases during that time, so that he and
Parker would not always discuss every case.

After a final defense witness today, attorneys will begin summing up the
corruption case against Parker and fellow detectives John Ferby, David
Rodriguez and Robert Hill, who has since retired.
