About
Michael Nickerson testified for the prosecution on Day 32 about his response to a carjacking report as a Cambridge uniformed patrol officer. He said he was dispatched around 12:19 to the Mobil station at 816 Memorial Drive, where he observed that the reporting man was trembling and frightened.
After sustaining an initial defense objection, the court allowed testimony about the man's vehicle report for a purpose other than proving its truth. Prosecutor William D. Weinreb narrowed the questioning to the vehicle information and what Nickerson did with it.
Nickerson described broadcasting the vehicle description and license plate, then contacting Mbrace to help locate the Mercedes. He ended his call after confirming that Dispatcher Sullivan was already communicating with the service, and later heard Sullivan broadcast vehicle-location information. The defense asked no questions.
