Live from the courtroom: The prosecution’s questioning of Dale Hausner has started off with a bang, as deputy county attorney Vince Imbordino accused the Serial Shooter suspect of having a love interest in his alleged accomplice, Samuel Dieteman.
Hausner spent part of his past two days of testimony saying Dieteman was bisexual and speaking about it with disgust. Imbordino is obviously trying to get Hausner riled up on the stand. “Actually, it’s not Sam Dieteman that’s bisexual, it’s you, isn’t it?” Imbordino said.
“No, that’s not true,” Hausner said, adding later: “I like women, and I like a lot of them, sir.”
Imbordino then confronted him with statements made by Hausner’s ex-wife during their divorce several years earlier. The ex-wife at the time claimed that Hausner told her he was interested in men as well as women. Hausner called it “slander.”
“In fact, that’s one of the reasons that you let Mr Dieteman stay in your apartment,” Imbordino said. “Because you were interested in him, weren’t you?”
“No, sir,” Hausner said.
