VI. Witness - Friend of Johnny

I am a fourteen (14) year old boy and a friend of Johnny Smith. I was with him on the weekend after February 3, 1997, and he seemed to have a lot of money with him. I am not sure how much money he had but it was more than he ever had before. We went to the movies; he paid. We went out to dinner; he paid. He usually does not have that kind of money with him. I asked him where he got all the money and he told me it was none of my business.
