An undercover officer’s memory of an unrecorded conversation with Kalen Schlatter soon after his arrest for Tess Richey’s murder contains troubling discrepancies, the defence argued in cross-examination Friday. In court Friday, Riva questioned specific details of the undercover officer’s recollection of the holding-cell exchange between himself, Schlatter and the second officer. The undercover officer maintained the word “pretended” was accurate. Riva said there were discrepancies in what the two undercover officers recalled Schlatter saying. The second undercover officer has testified Schlatter said he was “arrested for something big,” Riva said, while the first testified Schlatter said he “did something big.”The officer stood by what he remembered.
