WHEREUPON:
YADA BEENER,
called as a witness herein, having been first duly
sworn, was examined and testified as follows:
EXAMINATION
BY MR. KING:
Q. Would you state your name and spell your last
name, please?
A. Sure. My name is Yada Beener. The last name
is B E E N E R.
Q. And what is your residence address?
A. [REDACTED]
[REDACTED]
Q. And are you now located in Georgia?
A. Yes, I'm in Atlanta right now.

Page 7
Q. Okay. What is your telephone number?
A. [REDACTED]
Q. Do you have an e-mail address?
A. Yes. [REDACTED]
[REDACTED]
Q. What is your business or occupation?
A. A teacher.
Q. What do you teach?
A. Like, everything.
Q. Where are you employed?
A. At a school called SoulShine.
Q. Could you spell that?
A. Yeah. So S O U L S H I N E Academy.
Q. Where is that located?
A. In Atlanta, Georgia.
Q. How long have you been employed there?
A. Since February.
Q. And what grade do you teach?
A. I don't. I teach developmental ages. So
anywhere between six weeks to seven months old.
Q. They probably don't talk back a lot, do they?
A. Oh, they do.
Q. And what was your employment before there?
A. I was doing clinical research with Relay

Page 8
Graduate School of Education.
Q. So is this the first job you've had outside of
being the -- on the current path or doing research?
A. Yes. To answer that question specifically,
yes.
Q. What is your educational background?
A. I studied education, Spanish, and history in
undergrad. And then in graduate school, I specified my
studies to special education with a concentration in
teaching mathematics.
Q. Do you have a master's degree?
A. I do.
Q. And when did you get that and from where?
A. In 2022, from Relay Graduate School of
Education.
Q. All right. Where was your undergraduate
degree from?
A. Spelman College in 2009.
Q. Say again, what college?
A. Spelman.
Q. Spelman. Okay.
So have you ever been deposed before?
A. I don't think so.
Q. All right. So let me explain the rules of the

Page 9
road, if I may. I'm going to ask a series of questions,
none of which are designed to be misleading or tricky or
anything like that. This is not a gotcha game. The
group of us on both sides are just seeking information
to help us better understand the circumstances and what
happened in connection with the issues in this case.
So anytime I ask you a question, if there's
anything about it that you don't understand, either a
word I use or the way I used it or the sequence of the
words or whatever, just say -- give me some indication
that you don't understand what I'm asking and I will try
to rephrase it so we're both on the same page.
Does that work for you?
A. It does.
Q. As I've told you before, if you need a break,
all you have to do is say something and, you know, we're
happy to take a break to conform to your schedule and
your needs there.
A. Thank you.
Q. I've told everybody, as you may have -- well,
you may not realize it, but the others on may recognize
my voice is a little different today. It's not that I'm
reaching maturity. I'm marginally past that. I've been
fighting a cold. If I have to bail out later in the

deposition -- hopefully I won't -- but if I do, I've got
Erin Wenger who's here and online. She won't
participate in this unless I bail out and then she wil!
take over and I'll be out of here.
So in connection with this deposition, how did
you prepare? Did you talk to anybody? Did you read
anything? Did you listen to anything? What's your
background in getting prepared for this?
A. It's funny that you ask that. I think that I
prepared myself maybe all of two hours before this in
just reflecting on the life of a friend of mine. Yeah.
I just spent intentional time in a reflection. That was
my preparation.
Q. Were there any documents you read?
A. No.
Q. Were there any tapes you listened to?
A. No.
Q. All right. So when did you first meet Abnerd
Joseph?
A. I met him in 2022, yeah.
Q. Where and under what circumstances?
A. I met him in the parking lot. I was pulling
into the parking lot for work and so was another
colleague of ours, and he was walking towards his part

Page 11
of campus and she introduced us to each other.
Q. When you say campus, where are we talking
about?
A. At STRIVE.
Q. Were you both students there?
A. We were both faculty members.
Q. So what were you teaching?
A. At the time I was teaching kindergarten.
Q. And what was he teaching?
A. He was the assistant principal at the middle
school side of campus.
Q. Was that the Kriss school, Kriss?
A. No.
Q. So was that in Atlanta?
A. Yes.
Q. And who introduced you to each other?
A. A woman named Lakeesha Ramdhanie. She's the
chief school's operator.
Q. This was in 2022, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. How did your relationship develop from there?
A. How did it develop? I guess just running into
him and acknowledging that I met him. So hellos. And
then I ran into him off campus one time. We sort of, I

Page 12
guess, were more intentional because the next time I
remembered being with him was at a birthday party. So
hello, started to see him in Atlanta, oh, like you're a
person that exists outside of work. Okay. And then,
yeah, birthday party.
Q. And could you describe how your relationship
morphed over time until such time as he left Atlanta?
A. Yeah, I guess the how is an interesting
question. Quite easily, to be honest with you. He felt
a lot like a familiar person to me within every
encounter. He felt very familiar. That's the best way
to say it. So yeah, it morphed easily.
Q. Did you become friends?
A. Yeah.
Q. Close friends?
THE WITNESS: Here's our arrival. Give me about
three minutes.
MR. KING: Not a problem.
THE WITNESS: Maybe less. Three minutes is
probably going to be more like 90 seconds.
MR. KING: Nota problem. That's fine.
THE WITNESS: Thank you.
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Want to go off the record?
MR. KING: Sure, for 90 seconds.

Page 13
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Off the record, 4:14 p.m.
(A short break was had.)
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Back on the record at 4:14 p.m.
MR. KING: Am I ready to resume?
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Yes.
MR. KING: Okay.
BY MR. KING:
Q. So, Ms. Beener --
MR. KING: I lost my witness here. Why don't I --
why am I not seeing the witness? There she is. Okay.
BY MR. KING:
Q. So you said your relationship started to
develop there. Was it purely friendship?
A. Yes.
Q. Did it ever become more than occasional
friendship?
A. For me, yes. What that means because I
mentioned the word familiar, is I would trust him to run
a quick errand or two for my son with my son. So, yeah,
I trusted him around my son.
Q. How old was your son at that time?
A. 11. Yeah.
Q. All right. So was Abnerd close to your son?
A. I would say he made attempts to be close to

Page 14
him. I don't think they were close necessarily, yeah,
no.
Q. Was your relationship -- and just so you
understand my questions, I'm not being judgmental at
all. I want to understand when I ask you some questions
later on your perspective and in understanding your
perspective, you know, there are different kinds of
friendships, different levels of friendships, some more
intense than others. And that's what I'm interesting
in. Just so you understand where I'm coming from. All
right?
A. I understand. That's why I did state that I
trusted him around my son. For me to do that around a
male means it was a strong friendship.
Q. Was it a romantic friendship?
A. No.
Q. Is it fair to say he tried to mentor your son?
A. Yes. It's fair to say he did that with any
children in the space, though. He very much was able to
turn on his educator persona whenever a child was
around.
Q. And what -- could you describe the course of
your relationship until such time as you were in
different locations?

Page 15
A. So he and his roommate would throw apartment
parties or karaoke nights. And he would be sure to
invite me there. So I would bring some of my friends.
There would be a lot of people that we knew and worked
with together there. It was really fun. He would do
those pretty frequently, whatever that means, like maybe
every month and a half. So there were moments when I
would be at those events. And looked like perhaps us
sneaking conversations at work when we were both passing
in the hallway, texting. If we were on the phone, he
would ask to speak to my son just a quick hello, how you
doing.
Q. And who was his roommate at that time?
A. Casey.
Q. So was Casey a friend of yours as well?
A. I wouldn't call him a friend, no.
Q. An acquaintance?
A. He was an acquaintance, and then we started to
grow flirty with each other. But I still would not call
him a friend.
Q. Has that relationship with Casey continued up
to the current time?
A. No.
Q. When was the last time you spoke to Casey if

Page 16
you know?
A. Maybe two days after the funeral ceremony, he
threw a housewarming party. So he texted me an invite.
Q. Did you go?
A. It was very close to the funeral. I didn’t.
And I told him that I could not go. That was the end of
it. That was the last communication.
Q. So when did -- if you know, where was Abnerd
working in Atlanta up until the time he left Atlanta?
A. He was working at KIPP STRIVE Academy. That's
the middle school's name.
Q. So that's the academic grouping that you were
at as well?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you teach together or work together in
terms of teaching the class or interacting --
A. No.
Q. You just happened to be at the same
institution --
A. Yep.
Q. -- with each other; is that right?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. You have to answer yes -- or you have to
answer verbally because the court reporter --

Page 17
A. Yes.
Q. -- records what you say and it's hard to
record a nod or something.
A. Yes.
Q. I should have said that to start, and my bad
and sorry.
So would you and Abnerd have open and close
conversations or deep conversations where --
A. Yes, all the time.
Q. And what subjects would those cover?
A. One of my favorite conversations that we had
was discussing the song Float On by The Floaters. And
we spoke about music and its influence on -- I  guess we
spoke about music from, like, the '70s and ‘60s and its
influence on today's music. So it was always deep. It
was always intellectual.
Q. Would he tell you issues that he might have,
problem issues, or things troubling him or how things
were going at school, or were they less personal
conversations?
A. Yeah. He didn't really tell me things that
were troubling him.
Q. So these were not look into my soul
conversations?

A. No.
Q. In either direction?
A. No.
Q. No, they weren't?
A. No, they were not.
Q. Okay. So did you know the
circumstances -- Strike that.
What did Abnerd tell you about his decision to
leave Atlanta?
A. He told me that he couldn't deny the figure
that he was offered. Yeah. That was pretty much it.
Q. Did he tell you that he was having any issues
at the school there?
A. No.
Q. Did you have any awareness of any mental
health issues that he had there?
A. No.
Q. Did you know at the time that he had been
referred for psychiatric evaluation?
A. No.
Q. Did you learn at any time that he had a
breakdown there?
A. No. In Atlanta?
Q. Yes.

Page 19
A. No.
Q. You did not know that?
A. No.
Q. Were you aware that he was taking any
prescribed medication?
A. No.
Q. Were you aware that he was taking Adderall?
A. No. But I would not have been surprised, but
no.
Q. Why do you say that?
A. Because he -- I feel like education in general
is quite performative, if 1 may. And he seemed to
interact with people in a way that was very jubilant and
joyful in many moments, yeah.
Q. And you think that that's a consequence of
taking Adderall or that was a reason to take Adderall?
A. A reason to take it. This is coming from my
educator’s mind. Yeah.
Q. So were you saying that his personality and
his behavior was somewhere off the middle of the road
and that’s what triggers you thinking that maybe he
should have been taking Adderall or you're not surprised
that he was taking Adderall?
A. Yeah, less than should have because it just

Page 20
seemed like a great educator from my perspective. But
more like if someone were to tell me he was taking
Adderall, then yeah. Also, because he's an educator, if
that makes sense. I have a lot of colleagues that take
Adderall.
Q. But did he ever tell you he was taking
Adderall?
A. No.
Q. And did you know that he was taking Adderall?
A. No.
Q. All right. So is it fair to summarize your
testimony of his time in Atlanta during which you knew
each other and were interacting that you saw no
indication that he had mental health issues and was
taking medication for it?
A. No.
Q. Is that a fair statement or ...
A. It is a fair statement.
Q. Then at some time, he left Atlanta; is that
right?
A. Yes.
Q. And is it your understanding that he moved to
Chicago?
A. Yes.

Page 21
Q. And what did he tell you about moving to
Chicago other than he got a good offer?
A. That was pretty much it. Because I was giving
him pushback on the move. So I guess what he shared was
the justification for the decision.
Q. So you were not in favor of the move?
A. No.
Q. Why?
A. Going along with his personality and my
perspective of Chicago, I thought that it would be a
dangerous city for him. I actually plainly stated it.
I can say more. He is very kind and dresses
well, in a way that I might say to others, it could be
ostentatious. Yeah, like really well dressed and kind.
I would -- I didn't think he would be safe in Chicago
just based off of those things alone. Very friendly.
Q. Had you spent time in Chicago?
A. I have, but I've only been there for events.
So weekends that are loaded with activities, things like
that.
Q. And how often had you done that?
A. Not often.
Q. When was the most recent time?
A. Maybe 2017. Yeah.

Page 22
Q. 2017?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. How old would you have been at that time?
A. 29.
Q. Did I -- I don't think I asked you your date
of birth, and I apologize for that. Can you tell us
your date of birth, please?
A. [REDACTED]
Q. So when you said that you had concerns that
Chicago wouldn't be safe for him, can you tell us a
little bit more about what you mean by that?
A. Yeah, no problem. I told him I didn't want
him in any northern city. And I was bringing my own
bias as a New Yorker. But he seemed friendly in a way
that could be gullible. Gullible's probably not the
right word. Just too friendly for the north. I
apologize. But that's really how I felt.
Q. Mr. Joseph was a pretty good-sized gentleman,
wasn't he?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. You have to answer yes or no.
A. Yes.
Q. And his brother Nick, with whom he worked out
fairly regularly, said that he was about 6, 2 and about

Page 23
240 pounds. Described him as being in very good shape
and basically quite strong.
So were you concerned that somebody was going
to attack him on the street or that he'd get into
inappropriate relationships or dangerous relationships?
A. The former. The former. And I think with
Chicago, I wouldn't picture one person. Yeah. That's
not how I see Chicago. So I wouldn't have worries about
one person attacking him.
Q. Because of his size and conditioning and
things?
A. Probably because of my biases towards gang
violence in the city itself.
Q. So what did he tell you about the job that he
took in Chicago?
A. He told me that he enjoyed working in Atlanta
and it was great, but they offered him a figure that he
couldn't refuse when he compared it to what he was
making in Atlanta.
Q. So did he tell you what he was offered?
A. No, he didn't. I didn’t ask either.
Q. Well, I was going to ask you, is that
information that you would have normally expected him to
share with you just based on your relationship or not so

Page 24
much?
A. Not so much.
Q. So then he ultimately moved to Chicago; is
that right?
A. Yes.
Q. And what was your understanding of what he was
going to do in Chicago?
A. I believe that he was going to be an assistant
principal.
Q. What did you understand his responsibilities
were going to be as an assistant principal?
A. I didn't ask any questions. I just assumed
what I know assistant principals to do. So perhaps
coaching other teachers, intervening with behavioral
needs, working with a dean, if there is a dean, things
of that nature, reporting to the principal.
Q. Did you understand he would have academic
responsibilities or more administrative and disciplinary
obligations?
A. The latter.
Q. So after he moved to Chicago, did you have
occasion to visit him?
A. No. I wanted to after I spoke to him. I
actually made plans in my mind to do so after I spoke to

Page 25
him on the unfortunate evening.
Q. Okay.
A. He invited me to come, but I told him no.
Q. And did you tell him no as a matter of
inconvenience or you were concerned? What was the
reason for the no?
A. I just didn't really want to go to Chicago.
Q. So it was the city environment?
A. Yeah. I imagine when I would say no, though,
as well, sir, that I was probably considering childcare
for my child. Or maybe touring the city with my son, I
just wasn't interested in the idea. If I'm going to
take a trip, it wasn't going to be to Chicago.
Q. So not going to Chicago to visit and rejecting
the invitation -- or at least not accepting the
invitation, was that also a way of sort of tempering
where the relationship was going; is that fair?
A. I didn't read it that way, no.
Q. You didn't intend it that way?
A. No, I didn't read that exchange that way. It
didn't feel like that. Even I remember him sort of
taking like -- what I see -- I have a brother. Like a
brotherly tone. So, come on, Chicago's great. It was,
you know, that sort of response.

Q. Okay. So did you know other members of his
family?
A. Yes. But I didn't know this person was a
member of his family and I  worked with her. We had our
own great relationship that we were building at the
time.
Q. And who was that?
A. Her name is Emerald Tyson. And she is the --
she has children with one of his brothers -- a family
with one of his brothers.
Q. Did you know any other members of his family?
A. No.
Q. Had you ever met them?
A. No.
Q. I'm talking about the period prior to his
death.
A. Yes. No, I had never met them.
Q. Had you spoken with them on the phone? Did
you have their --
A. No.
Q. -- contact information?
A. Well, let me be careful. I would speak to
Emerald's partner when he picked up his child from
kindergarten. But that was definitely like in passing.

Page 27
He's sort of like a quieter person at pickup.
Q. But that was the Emerald relationship, right?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. All right. So what about relationship with --
a separate relationship with any of the other family
members?
A. That's what I mean when -- I don't know if I
said it correctly, but when the father of her children
picked up, it didn't involve her. I would be working
the pickup door, and I would have seen her there as
well. That would be some of the moments I would see him
in passing. Because he too would dismiss the children
from his side of campus and parents would pick up
siblings, so I saw him during those moments as well.
And, yeah, so I would speak to him, and he was
a quiet person. We didn't really exchange too much.
How are you? How's the baby? Things like that.
Q. Okay. Did Abnerd ever talk to you about his
trips out in the country?
A. Yeah.
Q. Vacations that he took?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. Is that a yes?
A. Yes.

Page 28
Q. And do you recall any of the vacations that he
discussed with you?
A. I remember one time he showed me a picture of
a woman he had met at a party. And he told me he had a
great time and she was so beautiful. And he showed me
the picture. He was like the music was everything.
Yeah.
Q. And where was that?
A. That was Colombia.
Q. And do you remember when it was?
A. No.
Q. Did he ever discuss with you any drug use?
A. Yes.
Q. What did he say? And was that in connection
with the Colombia trip, or was this separate or both?
A. Separate. Yeah. Separate.
Q. When was this conversation -- or when was the
first?
A. Maybe like the spring of 2022.
Q. Where were you at the time?
A. We were having a face-to-face conversation.
One of my friends was there as well. At his apartment.
Q. At Abnerd's apartment or the friend's
apartment?

Page 29
A. Yes. Abnerd's apartment.
Q. And who was your friend?
A. Her name is Lola.
Q. What's her last name?
A. I don't know. Sorry.
Q. Is she a teacher as well?
A. No, she's not. She used to work for my
family's restaurant.
Q. That's in Atlanta?
A. No. That's in Harlem. It was at the time in
Harlem, New York.
Q. So what did he say? What was the
conversation?
A. He was talking to me about a drug called K2.
Q. Say it again.
A. He was speaking to me about a designer drug
called K2.
Q. K, as in king?
A. Yep, as in king. And he was telling me how it
was similar to cocaine, but it was like a diet version.
Q. A diet?
A. I remember that was the language, yeah, diet
version.
Q. Do you know whether that was a form of

Page 30
amphetamine?
A. No, I don't know,
Q. So what did he tell you about the K2?
A. Just that.
Q. Did he tell you that was the drug he was
using?
A. No. He was just talking about it.
Q. Was he being knowledgeable about it?
A. I guess if you consider the comparative
statement, yeah.
Q. Was that in the context of somebody trying to
lose weight or that was just in the context of the drug?
A. The context of the drug. There was no mention
of losing weight.
Q. Do you know what color K2 is?
A. No.
Q. Do you recall anything else about that
conversation?
A. Not really. Because that conversation quickly
shifted into us listening to Basa music. Like we
switched into different conversation.
Q. Did you have any other conversations with him
about drugs?
A. No. No.

Page 31
Q. I want to explore that a little bit more. So
let me loop back. I'm going to give you a little
information, and I want to see if that triggers any of
the things that we want it to.
Were you aware that after his death, that the
Chicago Police Department and the coroner's office
commissioned a toxicology report of Abnerd's blood after
his death?
A. No.
Q. So I'm going to tel! you that the toxicology
report showed cocaine in his system, Adderall in his
system, two different kinds of THC in his system. So
assume that what I'm saying is correct -- and I'm not
trying to speak for the report -- but do any of those
references that I've just given you trigger any
recollection of conversations you've had about any of
those drugs?
A. Not conversation, no.
Q. What do they trigger?
A. I have seen him use THC.
Q. In what context?
A. I don't know how to answer that question. I
don't know what you mean, "in what context.”
Q. Okay. So you said that you were at several

Page 32
parties that he would throw at his apartment. Was there
drug use at those parties?
A. Yes, including alcohol for sure. There was,
you know, shots being taken, things like that.
Q. Well, I was going to get to alcohol a little
bit down the line. But -- so what drugs were in use at
those parties?
A. I saw marijuana and alcohol.
Q. And weré you aware that Abnerd used alcohol?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know what kind?
A. Hmm-min.
Q. Do you know whether he had a particular
preference for tequila?
A. I'm also very ignorant around alcohol, so no.
Q. During these parties, is it fair to
say -- Strike that.
During these parties, did he get wound up?
MS. WHITE: Objection to the form of the question.
BY MR. KING:
Q. No was your answer?
A. No, not wound up.
Q. High?
A. Yes. Because I just imagine if you have THC,

Page 33
you would get high. That's why I sort of reacted that
way.
Q. Okay.
A. Yeah. But in behavior, it didn't appear to be
high behavior. Yes. Let me be clear.
Q. Is it fair to say that at these parties, that
you never became concerned about his behavior or did
you --
A. No. He was the curator of the entire vibe.
And I remember one of our first conversations in his
apartments, I mentioned that. And he and Casey sort of
went with that, that they were like vibe curators. But,
yeah, he was definitely MC’ing and leading the function.
So...
Q. Did that include the taking shots?
A. Yeah.
Q. Did he ever complain to you of or comment
about being depressed?
A. No.
Q. Or emotionally distraught?
A. No.
Q. Did he ever mention to you taking any other
drugs other than the THC drugs?
A. We had discussions about how much we both

loved caffeine. I don't know if you're considering it a
drug, but it's important to say because it is.
Q. Caffeine is a stimulant, isn’t it?
A. (Nodding.)
Q. Is that a yes?
A. Yes. And we discussed just, I guess, having
foreign backgrounds, how coffee was a part of our
culture, like intertwined into how we socialize with
people, and it was helpful as an educator, yeah.
Q. So when you talk about --
A. I had coffee at his house often. It was nice.
Q. What kind of coffee was that?
A. They had a Keurig. So sometimes I would bring
my own creamer because I don't drink dairy. We'd just
have some coffee. He would curate the vibes, again
music, cool lighting. Really fun.
Q. Was there any particular kind of coffee, brand
of coffee?
A. No, I don't remember. I think it was just
like the regular pods that comes with the Keurig. It
wasn't anything special.
Q. Okay.
A. Yeah.
Q. How often did you speak with him when he was

Page 35
in Chicago?
A. At least once every two weeks.
Q. Did you call him, or did he call you?
A. He would call me.
Q. So he would initiate the calls?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. And what was the nature of the calls?
A. What are you doing? I'm bored.
Q. He was bored in Chicago?
A. Yeah. Yes. He would recap his day. It would
be very calm. Oftentimes, he would be in his robe, sort
of like snugly on the couch. I would be in the same
place, you know, finishing up a show. Very -- yeah.
Q. So when was the last time you spoke to him
prior to his death? Obviously --
A. Minutes before.
Q. -- wouldn't be when did you talk to him after
his death. I'm trying to get some time frame.
A. Minutes before.
Q. And how did that come about?
A. The conversation?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. He called me when I was in the parking lot
listening to music and my son was in his tae kwon do

Page 36
class.
Q. And what time of the day or night was that?
A. That was around 5:00-ish.
Q. 5:00 p.m.?
A. Mm-hmm,
Q. 5:00 p.m. your time or 5:00 p.m. Chicago time?
A. Eastern Standard Time.
Q. Eastern.
And how did the conversation start?
A. When I picked up the phone, he immediately
jumped into conversation. And I was just like rapping
over him because I was listening to Kanye West at the
time. So then he chimed in. Remember, he threw karaoke
nights. So he chimed in and sort of rapped some of
Kanye West's music.
And I don't know how we got to this part of
the conversation, but we just started discussing an
entirely Black cast for the Willy Wonka film. We had a
lot of fun casting the characters. It was really cool.
Q. Was there anything unusual about that
conversation?
A. Yeah. So I lived in -- at the time I was in
College Park. That's where I lived, and there's a lot
of dead zones. So once my son was done with his class,

Page 37
he got in the car and I drove to get him a sports drink
maybe two to three blocks away from the dojo. And the
call cut. So -- but at this point, we were on Facetime
the entire time. So the cal! cut. And before the call
cut, I told him that I was feeling a bit stressed about
planning for my son's birthday and all the things that
he wanted, and I told him my son's birthday and the call
cut. And I got my son the sports drink, got back in the
car, and called him because the Facetime wouldn't pick
up.
And he -- the energy of the conversation
completely switched. And he kept telling me that he
couldn't believe my son's birthday was when it was. And
I was like why?
And he was like, When's your son's birthday?
It was a huge point of focus. I told him my son's
birthday. He was like, You're kidding me. I don't
believe it. And then he was so excited about it that I
told him to call me back. And he was like, No, stay on
the phone with me.
And I was like, Well, I'm driving to the
apartment. Let me cali you back when we're back on
Facetime. And then he consented.
And then when I got back in the apartment --

Page 38
in the apartment and called him back on Facetime, he was
crying. And he is the type of person that I would just
never expect to see cry, period, ever. And, yeah, that
was the odd part.
Q. Was he speaking quickly?
A. No. He was crying like how a -- this is
what's coming to mind -- but like how a hot child cries,
like (verbally demonstrating.) Like crying in his chest
kind of. Yeah, that's what I want to say. And
(verbally demonstrating), like those sounds.
Q. Did you recognize his voice?
A. Yes. And then when I got back into my
apartment, we were back on Facetime.
Q. And what was he wearing?
A. So I saw the crying.
A robe. I don't really remember, to be honest
with you. A robe. But I don't remember.
Q. And what did he say to you and what did you
say to him in the apartment phase of the call?
A. So I put my phone up and then went to start
cooking, and then he asked me to stop. And I was like,
Well, I just picked my son up. Let me cook. Let me put
something on the stove.
He was like No, I don't think you're taking

Page 39
this seriously. I need you. I need your attention.
I was like Okay. Which was very different.
So I sort of like leaned in at that point. And that's
when he started to tell me about -- he told me that he
sent mea picture. I didn't look at the picture until
we were off the phone. But he told me he sent me a
picture explaining why my son's birthday sort of like
changed the conversation.
Then from there, I was just like allowing him
to speak and cry. I didn't try to intervene. I didn't
try to calm him down just because I thought he needed to
get it out. Again, I had never seen him cry. So I'm
like, okay, I'm going to be a safe space. I'm going to
be a good friend. Okay. Cool.
But then he started telling me how he and my
son were very similar, like their life paths. And,
yeah, that was really different.
Q. Was his voice loud or soft at that time?
A. I don't think I would use either description.
Q. Agitated?
A. It was like sad. But like sad, like a toddler
sad. Yeah. Yeah.
Q. Were you concerned about him at that point, or
did you think this was some short thing in the same

Page 40
sense that, you know, somebody banged their ankle or
something and it was -- you know, you had to get them
past the immediate pain?
A. When he started to compare his life to my
child's life, I grew concerned because I felt like he
was sharing things -- I felt like he was having
reflective conversation about his life. That's the best
way I could put it, like reflective language. And I
don't think at our young age, we're supposed to be in
that type of reflection.
Q. Did you -- and I don’t want to put words in
your mouth. Again, I'm just trying to understand. Did
you think that he was in distress at that point?
A. I thought that I -- I would not call it
distress. I thought that he was approaching the end of
his life. It was almost -- this is what I told his
family, it was like he was delivering a eulogy of
hisself.
Q. So when did you -- when did you tell his
family that?
A. I'm sorry. I changed it to my speakerphone.
What did you say?
Q. When did you tell his family that?
A. The next evening. Yeah. I got acall froma

Page 41
brother at like 2:00 in the morning the next -- I guess
the following day, the next morning, because they
definitely called me at, like, 2:00 in the morning.
Q. Okay. So that's the same evening of the call
you had just been describing?
A. No. So the next day, after the 12:00 o'clock
mark that next morning.
Q. Okay.
A. It definitely sounded like a eulogy, yeah.
Q. And what was your reaction to that?
A. I started to text Casey.
Q. And what were you going to tell Casey and why?
A. I texted Casey some -- well, at that point, I
was worried because I don't feel like you should have
conversations about your life in such a reflective
manner unless you're approaching the end.
I've had the pleasure to have elders that I
spoke to and I could hear how they were talking in their
last days, and it sounded like that, Mr. King. Truly.
Sol texted Casey, like, Someone should check on Nerd.
Like, hey, pick up. What's up. Someone should check on
Nerd. Yeah.
Q. Were you concerned that he might be
contemplating suicide?

MAGNALEGAL SERVICES

Page 42
A. Yes, I was.
Q. So that thought came to your mind?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. That's a yes?
A. Yes. Following what appeared to be overly
reflective conversation. And so after he mentioned
the -- after he did the comparison with my son, he
started to speak about how his family members treated
him.
Q. What did he say?
A. He said that he was seen as the ugly duckling
and how he was told he was ugly for a lot of his life.
And he felt ignored by his mother. Yeah. And we had
never spoken about his family, if that can give you even
more context. How some of his siblings were mean to
him. Yeah.
Q. Were you -- were you an active participant in
this conversation, or were you basically just listening?
A. Basically just listening.
Q. He wasn't asking you for input, was he?
A. No. And it also -- if I'm comparing the cry
to that of a toddler, it felt like he needed to speak,
and J won't interrupt anyone if I read that, you know.
Q. So this was something that was just coming to

Page 43
the surface?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you have concern that he may have taken
drugs and this was a reaction of the drugs? Did that
occur to you?
A. I don't think I had that concern. I genuinely
thought that he was -- so before the thought of suicide,
right, because that was the later thought which caused
me toact in the moment. But I thought that he just
needed to get thoughts out. I thought he was having
like a breakthrough cry.
Q. So this was something he just -- he needed to
get out?
A. That's what I thought, yes.
Q. And was -- again, I  don't want to speak for
you, but was it your sense that the good part of
friendship at that point was to just be there and
facilitate this -- getting this out and that maybe it
would calm it down and the situation would pass; is that
fair?
A. Yes. I was perceiving it as word vomit but
truly needing to get words out of the body, like a
revolting moment for him.
Q. This group of conversations, so I -- I take it

Page 44
that those conversations were just completely different
than the conversations you had before talking to him
about music and academics and a variety of other things;
is that fair?
A. Yes.
Q. Is it fair to say you were sort of caught off
guard by this?
A. I was completely caught off guard by the
crying. That was the first indication, that if nothing
else, he was really moved by a moment.
Q. Did he say anything in the conversations --
when I say "conversations," I'm talking about that group
of conversations that evening -- that struck you as --
‘I'm not sure how to describe it -- erratic or not
rationale?
A. I don't think we were having a rationale
conversation. He told me who I was to him in a former
life. That's when it really got serious for me. And
after comparing his life to my son's life, he was like,
This is why I met you, you were a mother to me in a
former life. And that’s when I was like, okay, I think
he's getting close to the end somehow. But I wouldn't
call it erratic. It wasn't rationale. It felt very
spiritual.

Page 45
Q. So when you say "spiritual," I want to
understand what you mean by that. So --
A. Thank you. Him just referencing who I was in
a former life.
Q. Well, that -- So 1 want to get to your choice
of spiritual as the word. So you could have a spiritual
conversation -- and this is a question mark at the end
of this -- you could have a spiritual conversation
talking about God and the Bible. That could be a
spiritual conversation. Or you could have a spiritual
conversation -- though I wouldn't use the word
spiritual -- that talks about you're a Viking invader
and remember being in a battle with Napoleon or
something. That's not spiritual to me. That's
something different.
A. Oh, I would call them both spiritual.
Q. Okay. So when you say you were having a
spiritual conversation, it wasn't a religious
conversation, it's spiritual in the sense it wasn't of
current living people having current living
relationships?
A. Yes.
Q. Is that fair?
A. Yes.

Q. Your son's name is Jose; is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. And how old is he now?
A. 13.
Q. 13. Congratulations.
A. Thank you. 12 was hard. So thank you.
Q. Sorry you didn't have a daughter. Talk about
hard. That's a different issue.
During the conversation, did he -- I know
you've described this sucking crying. Did he sound
angry?
A. No. He sounded sad.
Q. Agitated?
A. No. Sad.
Q. So following your conversation, the testimony
is that he was out in the hallway, you know, pounding on
doors and yelling things, yelling violent comments or
threats about hurting White people or things of that
nature. Assuming that what I've said to you is
accurate, is that consistent with the conversation you
were having or --
A. No.
Q. -- was that stepping up in tone and frantics?
A. That wasn't consistent with our conversation

Page 47
atall.
Q. Are you familiar with the phrase Celestine
Prophecy?
Is that a phrase he used?
A. No.
Q. You don't recall that?
A. No.
Is that something that was used -- may I ask a
question? Is that fair?
Q. No. Actually, the way this works is I'm
supposed to ask the questions.
A. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Q. So let me just stay on.
Do you remember part of a conversation about a
chocolate factory?
A. Yes, for sure. Because we were casting Willy
Wonka, an all Black cast. It was genius.
Q. Was that the same conversation, or was that
different one?
A. That was in front of the dojo studio. So
before I mentioned my son's birthday.
Q. And that's before the conversation switched?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you remember him saying he was going to get

Page 48
all our gold back?
A. No.
Q. Or that people were listening to him or
listening to his conversations?
A. No.
He said "they're coming" multiple times.
Q. Any indication they were going to break down
his door?
A. No. Just they're coming. And he repeated it
several times. And in my own training, I did not want
to get off of the phone with him. But I knew at that
point, I wasn't getting any responses from Casey. So I
chose to hang up because of the phrase they're coming.
Q. What did you understand that to mean?
A. Well, for me, I just thought that he was going
to be a victim of some sort of violent attack. Someone
wascoming. And it's so odd for me to hear that from
him that I took it very literally. especially after the
crying.
Q. So at that point, were -- was it your sense
that he was concerned that he was going to be under
attack?
A. Yeah, And I didn't receive clarity from it.
It was just they're coming.

Page 49
Q. So did you think that was literally they were
coming or that he was being paranoid?
A. I'm going to answer honestly here, I
considered both possibilities. I thought that people
could literally be coming for him or that they were
coming to transition him to death, “they” being
spiritual beings. I considered both. Both were scary
tome.
Q. At any time, did he say who was coming?
A. No.
Q. Other than they?
A. No.
Q. And that was while he was in the apartment?
A. Yes.
Q. In his apartment?
A. Yes.
Q. And was he still on the couch at that point?
A. I don't remember him being on the couch.
Q. I thought you said that during part of the
conversation or during the conversation when you were
Facetiming him, he was sitting on a couch.
A. That was our conversations before when he
moved to Chicago.
Q. Where was he during this conversation, if you

know?
A. It looked like he was leaning on a desk kind
of. I don't know what part of the house it was. But
like leaning and talking.
Q. Did he tell you anything about the police were
coming for him?
A. No.
Q. Do you remember him telling you about
helicopters?
A. No.
The first time we were on Facetime, sir, he
wasinhis car. By the time I was at my apartment and
Facetimed him the second time, he also was at his
apartment.
Q. Do you remember him telling you that the
police were going to kill him?
A. No.
Q. Or that somebody was going to kill him?
A. No. The language was, they're coming.
I want to reach back, Mr. King, just to put my
heater on. Thank you.
Q. Did you -- so you reached out to Casey and
didn't get a response?
A. I was texting multiple times, yeah. That's

Page 51
when I chose to hang up, which I didn't want to do. I'd
rather have had him on the phone but I hung up to call
Casey, yes. I also tried to include Casey on the call,
but he wasn't picking up that way either.
Q. Was there any point in time when you heard
loud noises or a part of the recording that -- other
than your conversation with Abnerd?
A. No.
Q. So you didn't hear anything in the hallway
or--
A. No.
Q. -- pounding or loud voices?
A. No.
Q. Do you know a Jareth Bent?
A. Yes. I know the name because he called me
after.
Q. Mr. Bent --
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. -- called you?
And what did he say to you?
A. He called me maybe a couple of minutes after I
got off the phone with Casey. He was like, hey, what's
going on?
And I told him, I was like, Someone needs to

Page 52
go check on Nerd right away, immediately.
And he was like Okay. I'm only a couple of
minutes away. What's happening?
I was like, I'm not really sure, he was on the
phone crying and comparing his life to my son's life.
I'm worried he may take his own.
Q. And what did Jareth say?
A. That he was on the way.
Q. Prior to your conversation with Jareth, had
you spoken with Casey?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you call him or did he call you? I
think you said he called you at about 2:00 in the
morning.
A. No. That was his brothers -- one brother. I
‘think it was one of the Jays. Both of them go by the
epithet Jay. And he called me. So I don't know. This
occurred on a Thursday if I'm correct. So this was
Saturday morning 2:00 a.m.
Q. All right. So you spoke to Casey?
A. I did.
Q. Did he get the text and called you as a
consequence?
A. No. He just finally picked up one of the

Page 53
calls.
Q. So you called him several times and you
finally got him?
A. I tried to connect him on three-way, and then
once I  hung up the phone, I was able to reach him
afterwards.
Q. Okay. Did you ever connect him on the
three-way?
A. Mm-mm.
Q. So you call him, it rang there, he never
picked up --
A. No.
Q. -- is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you then hang up?
A. Yes.
Q. So you might well -- he might well have still
been connected to the call with Abnerd?
A. Who?
Q. Casey.
A. Casey never picked up while I was on the phone
with Nerd.
Q. Right. He didn't pick up your call, but he
still might have been connected.

If I call somebody and I try to patch somebody
in, I can't -- I can't hang up on the person I tried to
patch into the -- into a three-way conversation. I have
to hang up the whole thing and -- at least I do, and
then just start over and call the first person.
A. No, not on the iPhone.
Q. Pardon?
A. Not on the iPhone.
Q. I may need your number.
So what was your conversation with Casey?
A. Casey was so casual. He was like, hey, what's
sup?
I was like, No, something's happening with
Nerd. Get to him right away.
He was like, What's going on?
I was like, He's crying. That's first. But I
don't want to talk to you right now. Get to Nerd.
So it took a couple of exchanges of
encouragement. He was like Okay. Okay. I will call my
line brother. Yeah.
Q. Okay. So if I understand correctly, what
you're saying is that you had to convince Casey this is
not just an ordinary, hey, what's going on? This
was --

Page 55
A. Yep.
Q. -- something that requires immediate
intervention?
A. Yes.
Q. And you had the same conversation with
Mr. Bent?
A. Yeah. But he already was demonstrating a
sense of urgency. So it seemed like he was just asking
me questions to know what he was going to, like,
discover upon arrival, like the current state, yeah. I
didn't have to convince him that it was serious.
Q. So had he already spoken to Casey?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay.
A. Because I had never spoken to him, so I guess
Casey gave him my number.
Q. Okay. So you had the conversation with Casey,
you manage to convince Casey this is an emergency that
needs action, and the next thing you know, you get a
call from Mr. Bent consistent with that trying to get
more information; is that --
A. Yes.
Q. -- the right sequence?
What's the next thing that you learned?

Page 56
A. That I learned?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. Casey called me back and told me, perhaps
before I spoke to Jareth, that he was sending a line
brother, the line brother was on the way. Yeah.
Q. Okay. And then what happened? Were you still
inthe state of high concern?
A. Yeah. But I was also in a state of rushing to
tend to my child because we went to tae kwon do right
after school, and he only had a sports drink. And he
was communicating as if he was very hungry for -- during
the duration of that conversation. I  was sort of
shooing him away, like, hey, Nerd is crying. So even he
knew it was like a different type of conversation.
So I immediately threw in a very simple meal
onthe stove, and then minutes later called Nerd. But I
hesitated with calling him because I didn't want to
intercept any calls that needed to get to him. But he
didn't pick up the phone.
Q. And what was the next thing that you learned?
A. Well, I woke up, I went to work, and a
colleague that is distant from both of us told me that
he had passed.
Q. So after your conversation with Casey where he

Page 57
say he's going over, the next thing you knew about any
of this situation was when the colleague told you that
the next day?
A. Yeah. It was like after 10:00 a.m.
Q. Casey didn't cal! you back, Jareth didn't call
you back?
A. No.
Q. And who's the next person you spoke with who
knew anything about what had happened?
A. After the colleague?
Q. Yes.
A. Well, the principal of the campus gathered
everyone who was close to him and sort of tucked us in a
room because to know Nerd and to find out he’s passed is
to immediately mourn for him, and that's what we were
doing, yeah.
Q. So the first you knew that he had passed was
the colleague at your school the next day?
A. Yes.
Q. So Casey didn't call you and tell you he
passed?
A. No.
Q. None of his family called and told you he
passed?

A. No. And Emerald didn't come to work that day
because obviously she had received word earlier, yeah.
Q. So when's the first time you spoke to any
family members or friends about it?
A. Once I left -- so after the day for us
ended -- because we were no longer working, the
principal excused all of us -- there was conversation of
like a meet-up of people who were close to him just to
sort of have a drink, reminisce, talk. On the way to
that gathering, I called Emerald.
Q. So did the principal tell you the
circumstances of his passing?
A. The principal is not who told me.
Q. The colleague in --
A. Yes. His words were that he was killed last
night.
Q. So did you know anything about the
circumstances?
A. No. I also couldn't make sense of what was
happening at all because I went to bed with the security
that his brothers showed up for him. And the language
wasn't language I expected at all.
Q. So the next morning, you go to school, a
colleague says that he passed and that he had been

Page 59
killed --
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. -- is that right?
A. Y¥¢és, sir.
Q. And then you said that somebody at the school
gathered the people who knew him best and basically
reiterated that he had passed?
A. He wasn't even in the room when I went in the
room. It was just a bunch of us crying. He was
responding to so many teachers being down.
Q. So you don't know that he had any independent
information?
A. The person who told me?
Q. Yes.
A. Oh, no.
Q. He was responding to, he's got a group of
staff, of faculty, that are having a bad time; is that
right?
A. Tl imagine that the principal assigned
different people to tell people because it was so many
of us that were fond of him on campus. So if you could
imagine an elementary school and a middle school,
teachers dropping like flies, her pulling them from the
classroom. And I do know -- she told me why later, and

Page 60
she said she didn't want us to receive a text about the
information. So she got assistant principals to come
tell us.
Q. Okay. So what would happen next?
A. So after I left the school building, I called
Emerald and I told her like I was talking to Nerd for a
lot of the evening, so you should know this. And I can
tell you what the conversation was like. I have video.
So lsent her a video. And then I went to the gathering
where there were a bunch of other fraternity brothers
and people who cared for him there. By a bunch, it was
maybe like seven of us, eight of us.
Q. This was in Atlanta?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And?
A. We were just reminiscing on good times, yeah.
Conversations like -- I remember Casey saying that he
was upset with him for this being the end of his story.
And like us being able to empathize without
understanding because what an odd way to end his story,
truly, outside of age. Like, the age was mentioned but
the how, yeah, very disheartening. That was definitely
a quiet moment for us.
Q. So were you surprised that -- when you first

Page 61
learned that he had passed?
A. Yes.
Q. Because you thought that --
A. I also felt extremely disconnected because in
hearing how people were retelling the story and even in
your line of questioning, I had never heard anything in
the background.
Q. Did you learn more of the circumstances of his
passing?
A. I wouldn't call that learning. I heard what
people were saying.
Q. What did you -- what were people saying and
who were the people who were saying it?
A. So the men that were there at the gathering,
they were saying things like, oh, I heard -- or they
were saying there -- they're saying that he was knocking
on people's doors. They were saying that he ran from a
neighbor. They were saying that the doorman was on that
same floor. Just a lot of disconnected thoughts and
stories being tossed around.
Q. And who was telling you these things? What
was the source of this?
A. That's a great question. Because when you
asked that, I wasn't prying into the source. I think it

was acollection of what they were reading. I wasn't
reading anything at that point.
Q. Are you talking from the newspapers?
A. Yeah, or just, I guess -- just -- yeah, social
media, probably. And what they had heard, yeah.
Q. So did somebody tell you that he had assaulted
people?
A. I heard that he had punched someone in the
face. That's what they said. And I was like no,
impossible.
Q. Did you hear that he had punched two or three
people?
A. (heard one.
Q. Did you hear why he had punched somebody?
A. No. In fact, my response was why. It was
that same question, why? When? I had a lot of when
questions too considering we were on the phone. Like
when?
Q. Did you get an answer?
A. Hmm-mm.
Q. Who did you ask?
A. These people also didn't have the answers.
And they were crying and drinking.
Q. So this was rumors going around a room -- =

A. Yes.
Q. -- being edited as they went?
A. Yes. With questions attached too. We
acknowledged that we didn’t know what was happening. No
one was speaking with authority.
Q. Did you later -- did you go to the funeral?
A. I did.
Q. And was anything said around the funeral about
more information or about what had happened?
A. People were supporting me at the funeral.
wasn't really hearing too many of the conversations.
Yeah.
Q. Were you telling people about your
conversations with him?
A. No.
Q. Were you interviewed by the Chicago Police
Department?
A. I was not.
Q. Have you spoken to any members of the Chicago
Police Department?
A. No.
Q. Have you spoken to any members of the family
about your conversations?
A. Yes.

Page 64
Q. Who did you speak to?
A. Well, I called Emerald, like I told you.
Q. Right.
A. And then one of the Jays called me that
weekend.
Q. Do you know which Jay?
A. No.
Q. Ail right.
A. Yeah. He just wanted to know a bit more about
what happened, so I recalled the story for him. And
then they asked me if I can meet up with them. And that
was about a month later. And I met them and spoke to
them in person.
Q. Okay. Did you take any notes or keep any
diary entries or anything about any of this?
A. No.
MR. KING: All right. I'm going to take a

BY MR. KING:
Q. Ms. Beener, were you aware of any social media
posts in connection with Abnerd's death?

Page 65
A. Yes, I was aware.
Q. How did you become aware?
A. I think people sent me a couple. I refused to
look at them, though.
Q. I'm assuming -- well, let me ask you, did you
post anything?
A. No.
Q. Why didn't you look at them? Why didn't you
want to look at them?
A. I was following the counsel from my father,
and he told me that if I read anything or looked at
those things, I may lose my own memory of what happened.
So that was the why.
Q. Your father seems like a wise man.
A. He is.
Q. What's his business background?
A. My father was NYPD. He also drove trucks for
awhile. And then he ended up laying all the groundwork
for 5G for Verizon for years.
MR. KING: Nice. All right. Well, that's all I
have. Thank you very much. I really appreciate you

MR. KING: All right. So some of the others have

EXAMINATION
BY MS. WHITE:
Q. Hi, Ms. Beener. My name is Maura White.
Thank you so much for your time today.
A. No problem. It's Beener.
Q. I'm sorry. I apologize.
A. It's okay.
Q. You had mentioned the conversation that you
were having with Abnerd Joseph the night that he died.
And is it fair to say -- I don't want to put words in
your mouth -- that in addition to the crying, was his --
was his demeanor not consistent with the way that you --
let me ask it this way: Was his demeanor consistent
with your other conversations with Abnerd during the
course of your friendship?
A. No. It was the opposite of joy. He was very
sad in that conversation. And he normally was very
joyful, very optimistic, very positive, very light.
Q. About how long do you think you -- I know that
there was different sort of stages of the conversation,
you were on the phone in the car, you eventually went

Page 67
back to your residence when you were cooking and talking
to him.
About how long would you say start to finish
your conversation with Abnerd was that night?
A. About or under two hours.
Q. When you say it was under two hours, can you
give us any more of an approximation in terms of how
long it would have been?
A. Well, I can tell you the start of the
conversation because I was also wondering about what
time things occurred. Remember I said I was asking
when? He called me a little after 5:00.
Q. Okay. And you also mentioned that after this
happened, you and your colleagues at the school were
talking about what happened. And I think when Mr. King
asked you some questions, you said that, you know,
people were getting this different places, like social
media, newspaper, things like this.
A. Yeah.
Q. During that conversation, did you have any
idea whether or not those accounts were accurate?
A. I didn't believe anything that they were
saying because I was holding true to what I was of
witness to.

Page 68
Q. When you say what you were a witness to, are
you talking about your conversation with Abnerd the day
prior?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. You testified that when someone said
that he punched -- that Abnerd punched someone, you
thought that was impossible. Can you tell me why you
thought that would have been impossible?
A. Because he would be the type to run and break
upa fight between strangers. This also alludes to why
I didn't want him to go to a city like Chicago. He is
like an servant to everyone.
Q. What do you mean by that?
A. Good natured. So I couldn't imagine him
punching someone. He would break up a fight between
people that he doesn't even know, you know.
Q. Had you ever observed him to be violent in the
past?
A. No.
MS. WHITE: That's all I have. Thank you so much.
THE WITNESS: Ofcourse, thank you.
MR. VADASY: I have some questions for you. I can

A. Hello.
Q. Thank you for being with us this evening and
going through this. I know it's not an easy thing to
talk about. I'm going to jump around a little bit to
try not to go over things that you were already asked.
So apologies in advance for the disjointed nature of
some of the topics of my questions.
A. Okay.
Q. You have been referencing throughout an
individual named Casey.
A. Yes.
Q. And is that just one Casey, it's the same --
the Casey that you spoke with the night of the shooting
is the same Casey that Abnerd was living with in
Atlanta?
A. Yes.
Q. And is that Casey Jostine -- or Jostine?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. Do you know how long Casey lived with Abnerd
for?

Page 70
A. No, I don't.
Q. Were they living together already when you
first met Abnerd?
A. Yes.
Q. You may have answered this, but have you kept
in contact with Casey at all since Abnerd’s passing?
A. No, not since the invitation to his
housewarming.
Q. Okay. I do remember you saying. That was a
few days after his funeral, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. The -- you were talking about -- it sounds
like you had a few different phone calls and Facetimes
with Abnerd the night of his death, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And I want to kind of narrow down the timeline
as best as we can and the number of calls that you had.
So the first time you spoke with him, was that
on Facetime?
A. Yes.
Q. And you said that was a little bit after
5:00 o'clock your time he called you, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you were in Atlanta at that time?

Page 71
A. I was in College Park.
Q. Oh, where is that at?
A. It's, like, eight minutes outside of Atlanta.
Q. Okay. Eastern time zone, though, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And you were in your car and he was in his own
car?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know, was Abnerd driving his car at the
time?
A. Yeah. He had told me he just got a haircut.
Q. Okay. And do you know where he was going?
A. No.
Q. And then did he mention who he was with prior
to calling you?
A. The barber shop. That was the mention.
Q. Okay. But he didn't mention any like specific
names or anything?
A. No.
Q. And then did he mention anything else about
what he was doing in the moments leading up to calling
you other than just getting a haircut or being at the
barber shop?
A. What he was doing? No.

Page 72
Q. And then did he mention to you about having
any plans for that evening?
A. I don't remember,
Q. It sounds like during that first Facetime
conversation that you had, you didn't have any concerns
about his behavior that he was exhibiting, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And it was during that Facetime you mentioned
that you were having a conversation about the Willy
Wonka casting an all-Black Willy Wonka cast?
A. Yeah.
Q. And what else do you recall about that first
conversation about what you discussed?
A. We were talking about how smart Kanye West is.
Smart musically, if 1 may just to narrow that. Yeah.
Q. That's a good clarification.
A. Yeah, I thought so as well. And it was that
conversation of like artistry and entertainment that led
us to Willy Wonka. I'm not really sure what the exact
transition was, but yeah.
Q. And is there anything else specific about that
first Facetime call that you discussed that you can
recall now?
A. We tossed out the idea of -- this is making me

Page 73
feel emotional in a tight way. But we tossed out the
idea of like Denzel playing Willy Wonka. And I was like
he's not crazy enough. I don’t think he can show us
that level of crazy. I was mentioning that if they gave
us Johnny Depp in a remake, then we have to at least
match Johnny Depp in the -- yeah. It was fun. It was a
really smart conversation.
Q. And then as far as like topics of
conversation. other than that, the Willy Wonka cast or
discussing Kanye, any other topics that you recall!
discussing with him during that first Facetime?
A. Yeah. I know for sure he asked what was
happening in the dojo studio and just like what my son
was working on, how was my day. He was good to check in
about that, yeah.
Q. And that was the call that dropped
unexpectedly because you had lost service?
A. Yeah. It was expected, though, because I had
driven those streets, yeah, multiple times.
Q. And it had ended, though, because of the loss
of service?
A. Yeah.
Q. And then was there a regular phone call? So
nota Facetime but a regular phone call?

Page 74
A. I tried the Facetime a couple of times, and
then that didn't work and he called me with a regular
phone call.
Q. Okay. And then how long did that conversation
last?
THE WITNESS: I'm going to cough.
(Brief pause)
BY THE WITNESS:
A. Just long enough for me to buy the Gatorade,
get back in the car, and that's when the conversation
shifted.
Q. And do you recall specifically what you
discussed during that conversation?
A. Yeah, my son's birthday.
Q. That was when that topic came up for the first
time?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. Before you brought up your son's birthday --
A. Let me be clear, I mentioned the birthday and
the stress, but it was when I said the birth date that
the change occurred, yeah.
Q. Okay. That second phone call, was it like --
as like an estimate -- less than five minutes?
A. Yeah. I wasn't in the store long at all.

Page 75
Q. And that's when you mentioned to him the
stress surrounding planning your son's birthday. Then
you mentioned your son's birth date, and then that's
when his kind of reaction switched?
A. Yes.
Q. And then do you recall specifically, I guess,
what he had said to you when that switch happened?
A. You're kidding me. Oh, my gosh. You're
kidding me. Are you for real? Like -- yeah.
And he repeated those questions. That's when
I was like, okay, call me back, yeah.
Q. And do you remember how much time passed
between when the Facetime call dropped and then you had
that second phone call?
A. I'm careful when we describe time, right,
because we're experiencing it. I had already reached my
community and I was driving to the door. And I imagine
you guys are hearing it, mom, after school, I went to
another activity, then my son asked me to get a sports
drink. So I'm sure ! like put a bag down, went
upstairs, you know, just sort of welcomed myself to the
house.
If I were to estimate, that could probably
have been like five minutes, right? Doesn't take too

Page 76
long.
Q. And do you know where Abnerd physically was
when he called you back during that second call?
A. No. Not the regular call, no.
Q. You weren't aware of whether or not he'd made
it back to his apartment by that second call?
A. No.
Q. Do you still have the same phone that you had
back in September of 2023?
A. I have it, but it doesn't turn on.
Q. Okay.
A. Yeah. It was an iPhone 13. So it finally
just hit the tank.
Q. That's fair.
And then after that second call, then you had
the third call, which was the Facetime --
A. Yes.
Q. -- when you took the recording?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. And then do you know, again, best estimate how
much time passed between that second phone call ending
and then the third call, which was the Facetime?
A. That's what I was describing. That was
probably about the five minutes.

Page 77
Q. Oh, okay.
A. Between number two and number three.
The dropped calls, me trying to Facetime him,
that all happened in the store. He was able to reach me
inthe store. And then I was on the phone from leaving
the store to driving to my apartment community, but it's
on the same road.
Q. Okay. The recording that you took of the
Facetime, did you only take one recording?
A. Yes.
Q. And then do you know how long the recording
was?
A. Let me check.
I think I put it in my favorites. Let me see.
just so I could have quick access. If you give me like
90 seconds, I could probably put my hand on it.
Q. That's fine, yep.
A. Thank you.
(Brief pause)
BY THE WITNESS:
A. 18 minutes and 53 seconds.
Q. An audio recording of the Facetime, it's
18 minutes long?
A. I don't. And I --

Page 78
Q. Or I'm sorry. Let me ask that another way. I
phrased that wrong.
You have a video recording of the Facetime
that's 18 minutes long?
A. I do. But it's -- most of the video is not of
him because I think he also recorded because I told him,
I was like, hey, I don't know how to Facetime record
with the sound. I didn’t know how to like turn on that
feature. So he started recording. So most of the video
is just of like the icon with his initials, yeah.
Q. Okay. And then have you provided that
Facetime recording to anybody?
A. No. I sent 35 seconds -- because it's my next
video. I sent 35 seconds to Emerald because I couldn't
send the whole file. I was like, hey, this is the first
35 seconds. This is what it looked like.
Q. Okay. So --
A. Now, to answer Mr. King's question, he is in a
robe. I can see the video. So yes.
Q. Okay. So there’s one video recording of the
Facetime, it's 18 minutes long?
A. Yes, and 53 seconds.
Q. And then you took a 35-second portion of that
recording and sent it to Emerald?

Page 79
A. Yeah. Or rather that when I went to send it,
I like shortened it to that in the text message thread.
Q. Okay. But you still have the original
18 minutes --
A. I do.
Q. I would ask you hold on to that because we
will request that.
A. Lovely. I'm grateful to share it.
Q. There's no audio recording of it, correct?
A. No. I haven't opened it, to be honest with
you, if that makes sense. So I don't know. That's the
best answer. But I know that there's no visual or audio
after a certain point, I believe. I don't know. I
haven't looked at it since.
Q. Are you able to open it now to see if there's
any audio?
A. You want me to?
Q. If you can. You don't have to watch the whole
thing. Obviously, just a couple of seconds.
A. No. But he was asking me, are you recording?
And I said, I am.
Q. Can you just tell that by, like, reading the
lips?
A. Yeah.

Page 80
Q. And you don't have to keep watching it if --
A. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Q. And then did you take any audio recordings of
any of your conversations of those three calls?
A. No.
Q. And then you mentioned you received a phone
call from one of his brothers at 2:00 a.m. the following
morning after his passing, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. In that conversation, that was when you
mentioned to him that you spoke with Abnerd that evening
and that you had that recording?
A. Yes. But Emerald had already told the family,
so it wasn't news to him at that point.
Q. And what else do you recall about that
conversation?
A. He said he was just trying to make sense of
what happened and what was said, yeah. Definitely
melancholy vibes, obviously.
Q. Did he share any information with you about
what happened or what he had learned?
A. Yeah. I don't remember what he said, but I do
remember him saying we learned this and this. I was
awakened out of my sleep to have that conversation.

Page 81
Q. Okay.
A. Yeah.
Q. It wasn't like a preplanned call that you had
scheduled?
A. No. No. No.
Q. Was it just one of his brothers on the phone?
A. Yes.
Q. You mentioned early in your deposition that
after the conversations that you had with Abnerd on the
night of his passing, you mentally kind of made some
plans about making a trip to Chicago; do you recall
that?
A. Yes.
Q. And what was the reasoning for that?
A. To check on him. I had -- I wouldn't think
‘that I would ever see him cry. Yeah.
Q. And then also towards the beginning of your
deposition, you were asked some questions about your
knowledge of Abnerd traveling out of the country.
think you said you were aware he had traveled to
Colombia on at least one occasion, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Did Abnerd ever discuss any of the details of
what he was doing in Colombia?

Page 82
A. No. He only told me about that time at the
party because he was really into that woman that he met.
Q. Was he seeing a woman?
A. I don't think he was seeing her. I think he
was just in awe of her beauty, so he like shared a
picture.
Q. That was someone he had met in Colombia?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know what her name was?
A. No.
Q. Did he show you a -- was it like an Instagram
photo or something?
A. It was a photo that she had sent him.
Q. Do you know if Abnerd was dating anyone while
he was living in Chicago?
A. What do you mean by dating?
Q. If he was in any like romantic relationships
with anyone while he was living in Chicago that you're
aware of.
A. I don't -- I have so much pause because I
imagine that he slept with women, but I don't know if he
was in romantic relationships, yeah.
Q. That's fair.
A. Okay.

Page 83
Q. I'm more asking if he was in any sort of like
boyfriend-girlfriend long-term relationships with any
women --
A. No.
Q. Do you know -- Strike that.
You said Emerald, the woman that you knew is
the mother of one of Abnerd's brother's children,
correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And then do you know which brother that is?
A. Yeah. His name is Josh. And he also goes by
Jay.
Q. Are you aware of Abnerd ever using cocaine
before?
A. Yes.
Q. He had told you that he's used cocaine before?
A. Yes. I heard it in conversations. He didn't
tell me necessarily, but I heard it in conversations.
Q. Tell me about what you heard.
A. What did I hear? I heard mention of him using
cocaine and him discussing it with someone else who I
knew who used cocaine. Like the discussion of it. But,
again, he wasn't telling me. I was sort of like a
third-party to their conversation,

Page 84
Q. And who was the other person he was speaking
with?
A. Her name is Brittany.
Q. Was this at the same party where you had that
conversation about K2 that you were talking about
earlier?
A. No. And that wasn't a party. That was my
friend Lola and I were just over there hanging out.
Q. And then that conversation where you overheard
him talking with Bri about using cocaine, when did that
happen? When did that conversation take place?
A. With Brittany? The spring. That's all I
really know. So definitely after April because it
wasn't his birthday party.
Q. The -- of 2022?
A. Yes.
Q. And then what else do you recall about that
conversation? Any specifics other than just generally
that they were talking about using cocaine?
A. Yeah. It wasn't a conversation I was
interested in because I didn't want either one of them
tobeusing cocaine. So...
Q. And then are you aware of how often Abnerd
used cocaine?

Page 85
A. No.
Q. And are you aware of how many times Abnerd had
used cocaine?
A. No.
Q. Other than that conversation between him and
Brittany, do you have any other knowledge about Abnerd's
use of cocaine?
A. No. Drugs weren't really a part of our
conversations.
Q. Did he ever ask you about where he could get
cocaine or anything like that?
A. No. I would not be the person to ask because
I would have initiated a big lecture. In all honesty,
though, it would have struck a conversation like that.
Q. Okay. And then had you ever listened to an
audio recording that Abnerd captured on his phone of
your conversation?
A. No.
Q. And by conversation, I'm referring to the
conversation from the night of his passing.
A. Yeah.
Q. You're -- you haven't ever listened to that
audio?
A. No.

Q. And then do you have an Instagram account?
A. I do,
Q. And then would you communicate with Abnerd
through Instagram?
A. Acouple of times. Like, truly a couple of
times. One time he fussed at me for not following him
onsocial media. And I asked him, Why would I ever do
that when I know you in real life? So it just wasn't
our mode of communication.
Q. That's fair. I have a similar mentality.
What is your Instagram handle?
A. It's my first name, Y A D A, and then B E.
Yadabe.
MR. VADASY: And I'm just looking over my notes. I
think I'm about done.
Yeah, I think that's all I have for you right
now. I will let the other attorneys go ahead and ask
whatever questions they have. Thank you again for your
‘time.
THE WITNESS: Likewise.
EXAMINATION
BY MR. NEGA:
Q. Just have a few questions for you. Thank you
for being here. We appreciate your honesty and

Page 87
everything.
A. Thank you.
Q. You mentioned before, earlier in this
deposition, that you've seen Abnerd wear his robe
before; is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. How often would you see him wear his robe?
A. All the time. That was like what I would see
as like my comfort hoodie. He was always in a robe.
Q. Would the colors change, or would it remain
one color?
A. I don't know.
Q. So it wasn't out of the ordinary that he would
wear this robe. You would see him wear it frequently?
A. Yes, for sure. In his building in Atlanta, he
lived in a building that was attached to a hotel. And
there would be shops and things like that on the first
floor, and he would wear his robe there.
Q. What about when he moved to Chicago? Whenever
you would Facetime him, would you see him wear his robe
there too?
A. Yeah.
MR. NEGA: Okay. That's all I have for you. Thank
you.

EXAMINATION
BY MS. KUS:
Q. Hi, Ms. Beener. Thank you for being here
today. My name is Lauren Kus. I represent two of the
defendants, Legacy Condo Building and the front door
associate.
Ms. Beener, you mentioned Abnerd was too
friendly for the north. What do you mean by that?
A. lam from Harlem, New York. I was born and
raised there. And we do not casually greet people.
We're taught very young not to do that. I grew up in
the '90s, so we were definitely taught that in the '90s
with the stranger danger campaign. He spoke to
everyone. And he would try to include me in those
conversations, but I'm very introverted. Yeah. He was
very friendly. And I don't think that that is the
culture of the north.
Q. When did you move from New York to Atlanta?
A. I was accepted to Spelman in 2005, so 2005 was
when I started school. And I would say I officially --
I  bought a house in 2007, but I wasn't really living
there. I was living at my parents' house. I officially
moved there in 2010.
Q. In Atlanta, would you say there's less of a

Page 89
stranger danger culture that you described?
A. Oh, yeah, for sure. I feel like people fuss
at me when I don't speak to them. It's true.
Q. Have you been to Chicago before?
A. Yes.
Q. When was the last time you were in Chicago?
A. 2017.
Q. You mentioned earlier Abnerd speaking of a
diet version of cocaine. Do you recall that testimony?
A. Yeah.
Q. What does diet version cocaine mean?
A. Tome? Because I haven't used cocaine.
Q. Yes.
A. I thought he meant like -- so I see cocaine as
an upper. I'm also measuring what it does with rumors.
So if people who I went to school with who I had heard
use cocaine or like the movie Blow. Like literally that
would be my point of reference. So I thought it was the
upper that didn't take you so high.
Q. Again, that was Abnerd's term, diet version?
A. Yes.
Q. I may have missed this earlier, but when did
you have that conversation with Abnerd about the drug
K2?

Page 90
A. See, I don't -- what I'm blanking on, the
time, he should have moved that summer of '22, right?
That would put him in Chicago for '23. I don't know, to
be honest. Or did he move '23? I don't know when we
had that conversation.
Q. Was it sometime shortly before he moved to
Chicago?
A. I -- I also have a video from that night, so I
can just check.
Q. Okay. I f you don't mind, if you can check
real quick.
A. Okay. Lovely. Thank you.
Q. Thank you.
(Brief pause)
BY THE WITNESS:
A. That was April 26th, 2022.
Q. Where was that party?
A. That wasn't a party. That was just me and my
friend at his house.
Q. The parties that you mentioned with the
marijuana and alcohol present, was Abnerd using
marijuana at those parties?
A. Yes.
Q. When were those parties?

Page 91
A. Like every six weeks. It was like people knew
that they threw those parties. I was being introduced
to those parties.
Q. Who was "they" that you're talking about who
threw the parties?
A. Casey and Nerd.
Q. The roommates?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. How often did you go to the parties?
A. I feel like I went to at least three, yeah.
Q. And it would have been in 2022?
A. Yes. Yes. Looking at that date, for sure.
Q. Did you ever personally see Abnerd using
drugs?
A. Marijuana.
Q. On how many occasions did you see him using
the marijuana?
A. It was like three or four times.
Q. Again, that was in 2022?
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. Before September 14th, 2023, had you ever
recorded a Facetime call before?
A. No.
Q. Why did you choose to record this Facetime

Page 92
call with Abnerd that night?
A. He told me to.
Q. Do you know why he told you to?
A. No.
Q. Do you have any idea why he might have told
you to?
A. He told me I wasn't taking it seriously. So I
knew for him it was serious.
Q. When did you send that Facetime call recording
to Emerald?
A. On the drive, yeah. So that next day, on the
drive to the gathering.
Q. So after Abnerd had died?
A. Yeah.
Q. Why did you send that Facetime to Emerald?
A. I wanted them to know that I had spoken to him
for a long time the day before. And, hey, this is what
the -- part of the conversation looked like. You know,
just trying to get the family some information because
for me to be the person on the call and to not have any
information, I imagine it was worse for them.
Q. How did Abnerd's brother have your number to
call you the next day?
A. Emerald.

Page 93
Q. Again, that was Emerald's father of her
children?
A. Yes.
MS. KUS: Okay. Thank you very much, Ms. Beener.
THE WITNESS: No problem. Of course. Thank you.
MS. ENERSON: I don't have any questions.
MR. VADASY: Sorry, Wendy. Didn't mean to cut you
off.
FURTHER EXAMINATION
BY MR. VADASY:
Q. I actually have a few very brief follow-ups I
forgot to go over.
You mentioned that one of the individuals you
spoke with the night of Abnerd’s passing was Jareth
Bent, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you say you had not spoken with Jareth
Bent as far as you're aware prior to that evening?
A. No.
Q. Have you spoken with Jareth Bent since that
evening?
A. Yes. I called him once J found out he died.
It wasn't that same day, though. And then he was just
telling me that by the time he got there, he had

FILED DATE: 8/28/2026 10:56 PM 2024L005346

MAGNALEGAL SERVICES

25 (Pages 94 to 97)

Page 94
already -- it was DOA by the time he got there, yeah.
Q. Was that within a few days of his passing?
A. Yeah.
Q. And is that the only time that you've spoken
with Jareth since his passing?
A. Mm-hmm. I didn't even meet him at the
funeral.
Q. That was a yes, just for the record?
A. Yes.
Q. Sorry. Just so that --
A. No, no, for sure.
Q. And then are you aware of Abnerd ever using a
drug called tusi before?
THE COURT REPORTER: I'm sorry. This is the court
reporter. Can you repeat the name?
MR. VADASY: Tusi, T U S S I [sic].
BY THE WITNESS:
A. Is it not the same as K2? I might be using
the wrong language now that you're saying tusi. And I'm
saying K2, meaning tusi. I need to be clear, yeah.
Because once you say it -- and the reason why I have
clarity with you saying it is because I heard it in a
Future song after hearing mention of it, yeah. It’s
tusi, for the record, yeah.

Page 95
Q. It sounds like your knowledge of it is similar
to the extent of my knowledge.
A. I knew it was a letter and a two.
Q. Yeah.
So, I guess, do you know one way or the other
then if you had heard of Abnerd discussing using tusi
before? I don't want to confuse your memory.
A. No, yes. And now it needs to be substituted
that's what he called the diet cocaine.
Q. The conversation that you talked about
earlier?
A. Yes.
Q. Where you thought it was referred to K2 was
actually a conversation about tusi?
A. Yes. My apologies to the team. I thought I
knew what I was talking about, yeah.
Q. That's all right.
And then other than that conversation, do you
have any other knowledge about Abnerd's use of tusi?
A. No.
Q. And then had you ever seen him using cocaine
or tusi before?
A. No.
Q. And have you spoken with any of the attorneys

Page 96
representing Abnerd’s family in this lawsuit?
A. Yes.
Q. And when was that?
A. I spoke to them last week. I spoke to them
maybe like June as well. Yeah, June of -- yeah, June.
Q. Of 2023?
A. June of last year.
Q. Sorry. Yeah. I'm getting my years wrong.
June of 2025?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And I'm asking specifically not with
any attorney but just any of the attorneys representing
his family, that's your understanding of who you were
speaking with?
A. Yes.
Q. And what did you discuss?
A. The first conversation was just about Nerd's
character, yeah, and how really incredible he was. And
then the last conversation I had, his team was just
explaining what I can expect, sort of like defining like
Mr. King did, yeah.
Q. When you say what to expect, you mean --
A. In the deposition.
Q. And how it was going to go?

Page 97
A. Mm-hmm.
Q. Did you discuss your testimony at all?
A. Well, I spoke to one of the two people who I
was speaking to. So they just asked me similar
questions.
Q. And then was there any information you shared
that you haven't shared today?
A. Well, yeah, more like filler conversations.
Q. What do you mean?
A. I had a conversation with them. Like, they
called me conversing as opposed to like giving me a
deposition. So, yeah, of course, but just filler
> conversation.
Q. Yeah. I guess I should specify that a little
more.
Any information that you shared in a
conversation with his family's attorneys specifically
about Abnerd and your relationship with him that you
haven't shared today?
A. Yeah. I told them -- I kind of mentioned
this, but I told them that it was easy to form a
friendship with Nerd because he felt like family. And I
think Richard, that's why I was so alarmed by him
defining it, because I had never shared that with him.

MAGNALEGAL SERVICES

Page 98
Like, hey, you feel like family. I never said anything
like that. So when he was defining it, it was sort of
like a connection for me that I should be more worried
as well, if that makes sense.
Q. Are you talking about when he was -- Or Strike
that.
Are you talking about during your
conversations with him --
A. Yeah.
Q. -- before his passing?
A. Yes. But he very much so felt quickly like a
family member. And he even treated me with that sort of
compassion and love, yeah.
Q. Anything else that you discussed with them
that you haven't shared today?
A. They asked me the nature of my relationship
with Casey, yeah.
Q. And what did you tell them?
A. I told them that, sort of similar to what I
said here, but I said that I felt - I was being flirty
with Casey and that same woman I mentioned to you in
your line of questioning, Brittany, was being flirty
with Nerd. Sometimes we would spend time that way.
Which was odd because then you guys can hear that I was

Page 99
at least flirting with Casey and I thought it was, you
know, different that he wouldn't tell me or didn't tell
me that he had passed nor have I really spoken to him
since. So yeah.
Q. You had mentioned when you spoke with Casey on
the phone the night of Abnerd’s passing that he was kind
of nonchalant during the conversation; is that a fair
description?
A. Yes.
Q. Did he give you any indication or information
about why he didn't seem to be too worried?
A. I didn't ask. I -- especially because I was
soclose to this, I did way more observing than asking
questions. And I'd say until this day. Because I feel
like I had such an intimate conversation with him, it
was just more telling for me to observe people, yeah.
Q. And then when Jareth had called you after your
conversation with Casey, did he seem concerned or
worried at all?
A. He seemed -- remember, it was very close, but
he didn't seem concerned or worried. I felt like I was
catching him in the middle of his sadness in that
conversation.
Q. I'm sorry. Maybe I should have specified.

Page 100
I'm referring to your conversation when he called you
before going --
A. Oh, yeah, extreme sense of urgency. Yeah. It
sounded like he was getting ready and he told me that he
was as well.
Q. Did either one of them mention that they were
going to call or reach out to Abnerd to try to get ahold
of him?
A. Yes. Casey told me that he was going to try
to call Nerd and the line brother when I got him on the
phone. And Jareth told me that he had been calling him
before he called me.
Q. Okay. And then did either one of them tell
you that they were able to get in touch with Abnerd?
A. No. Casey made me feel a bit calm, which is
why I started the cooking, because he told me he got in
touch with Jareth and Jareth was on the way. So
didn't know if they had spoken to him at all, but I just
knew that help was on the way.
MR. VADASY: Okay. All right. I think that's all
I have for you. Thank you again for your time. I
will -- just for the record, I know you gave us your
e-mail at the beginning. I will send an e-mail cc'ing
counsel for all parties with a link that you can use to

Page 101
upload the full screen recording that you were able to
find on your laptop.
THE WITNESS: Okay. Nice. How --
MS. ENERSON: Ms. Beener, I actually have a few
questions now. Sorry. This is Wendy Enerson.
THE WITNESS: No problem. Can I ask Richard what I
was going to ask him?
MS. ENERSON: Sure.
THE WITNESS: How can I upload the file? Is it
going to be like --
MR. VADASY: So it’s a ShareFile link. If you
click on it, it will pop up with an option to say like
drag and drop files, something like that.
THE WITNESS: So I have to maybe save it first.
Because it's just in my photos now. Is that okay?
MR. VADASY: If you pull it up on your phone, you
should be able to -- there should be a link where if you
click on it, it will -- there will be like a second
prompt where it says choose like photos, videos.
something like that. If you run into issues, obviously
feel free to call. I'm happy to help you.
THE WITNESS: Thank you. I appreciate it.
MR. VADASY: Yeah, of course.

Q. Thank you, Ms. --
A. Ofcourse. I apologize, Wendy.
Q. No worries whatsoever.
So you mentioned that you also had a recording
of aconversation that you had with Abnerd in the spring
of 2022 regarding the drug tusi?
A. No, not a recording about it.
Q. What do you have about that conversation that
you looked at during --
A. Oh, I have a picture of us -- like a video of
us dancing to a song that night. This small frame
seated, just a cute little bop. Yeah. Like a selfie

Q. And in that video, is there any discussion
about Abnerd's use of tusi?
A. No.
Q. Do you have any audio or video recordings of

A. No.
Q. Do you have any audio or video recordings of

THE WITNESS: No problem.
FURTHER EXAMINATION
BYMS.KUS:
Q. Ms. Beener, this is Lauren again. I do have
one question.
A. Okay.
Q. So anytime we've talked about diet cocaine or
K2 tonight, we've been talking about tusi; is that
correct?
A. Yes. I'm so embarrassed.
Q. No, you shouldn't be, not at all. I just
wanted to clarify that for the record. Thank you very
much.
THE WITNESS: Thank you for clarifying.
FURTHER EXAMINATION
BY MS. WHITE:
Q. I just have one other clarification. Yada, I
don't want to put words in your mouth, it sounds like --
I just want to ask you, do you know what tusi actually
is one way or the other?

Page 104
A. A designer drug.
Q. Do you have any idea what's in it?
A. No.
Q. Okay.
A. I just figured the guys with money use it
because Future's rapping about it. That's the whole of
my knowledge.
MS. WHITE: Got it. Thanks so much. That's all I
have.
THE WITNESS: No problem.
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Before we go off the record,
would --
MS. WENGER: Sorry. Can I just ask one follow-up
question. Can we go back on the record real quick?
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: We're still on record.
EXAMINATION
BY MS. WENGER:
Q. Ms. Beener, sorry, I'm not supposed to be
participating in this, but I do just have one follow-up
question.
You mentioned that you spoke with some counsel
from plaintiff's attorney's office last week.
To your knowledge, were they aware that you
had moved to Atlanta when you spoke with them?

Page 105
A. No, I don't think so. We didn't discuss it.
Q. Okay. Thank you.
A. But also, what do you mean move to Atlanta?
Like when?
Q. We were under the impression you lived in the
Dominican Republic. Was that not correct?
A. Yeah. I moved out there, and then I actually
spoke to the team when they called me in June because
had to immediately move back because someone stole
property from me here. So it was no longer a good
financial decision to stay in the Dominican Republic.
Q. Was that communicated to the attorneys that
you spoke with?
A. No.
Q. Okay.
A. I communicated the theft of property but not
the decision to move back.
MS. WENGER: Okay. Thank you.
THE WITNESS: Yeah, no problem.
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Before we go off the record,
would counsel like to order a copy of the transcript or

MS. KUS: Yes, please, for Hinshaw. Both, please.

We will order the transcript as well.
MR. VADASY: Richard Vadasy from Best, Vanderlaan.

THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Thank you. This now concludes
today's deposition. The time is 6:27 p.m., and we are
off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)
THE VIDEOGRAPHER: One moment.
Back on the record at 6:27.
MR. KING: Yada, you still there?
THE WITNESS: Yes.
MR. KING: So the court reporter's going to explain
to you that you have the right to get a copy of the
transcript sent to you so you can review it and make any
changes or corrections if the court reporter got
something wrong or there's something. Or you can waive
the signature. It's up to you.
So, Madam Court Reporter, want to do your

Page 107
thing?
THE COURT REPORTER: Yeah, you can just let me know
if you want to waive or reserve.
THE WITNESS: What would be the benefit of me
getting it waived? I guess I'm looking for an
explanation.
MR. VADASY: I can jump in. If you reserve
signature, it gives you a chance to review the
transcript before it's officially typed up. You can't
change your testimony. It's really just spelling errors
or something like that. You can't change like a yes to
a no or add explanations to testimony.
But it's your right if you want to reserve
that right to review it. Or you can say you trust that
everything was taken down accurately and waive the
signature.
THE WITNESS: Thank you. I appreciate that. I
will waive the right.
