defendant, he asked him if he had seen the gun before Bailey got out of the car at the murder scene and the defendant replied that he did not see the gun until after Bailey returned to the car after the shooting. He related, however, that the defendant admitted that he had seen the gun at Cavalier's house. He stated that the defendant claimed that he had no idea that Bailey was going to rob someone; rather, Bailey told him that he was going to collect some money that someone owed him. Detective Sergeant Eckert stated that he did not see anyone beat Bailey or put a gun in his mouth at the police station and he denied that Bailey had been threatened in order to obtain astatement from him.
Christopher Cavalier testified that at approximately 6:00 p.m. on March 6, 2005, he was at his girlfriend's house when he received a call from the defendant and Bailey. He testified that the men picked him up in the defendant's mother's car and took him to his house to retrieve a gun that they both asked to borrow. After Cavalier gave the defendant and Bailey the gun, they took him back to his girlfriend's house. A few hours later, they came back and picked him up again and, as they drove him back to his house, Bailey returned his gun. According to Cavalier, Bailey said that they had done "a little something" with it and then both men laughed. Cavalier put the gun back in his yard
