Oh brother! O'Mara is unbearable. He is suggesting that by the dispatcher asking which way is he running, that he is somehow empowering George to go after him. Even though, O'Mara says that is not what he is saying. Slick.

O'Mara asking about the tap tap tap while George is telling that the police should some through the gate, go straight past the clubhouse and to the left, and they will see the truck there. (paraphrase).

The person who George saw has left the area, there was no need for George to follow, and it seemed that there was no particular danger.

Dispatcher hung up with that knowledge and that there was at least one officer on the way who could meet with George.

Deputy Director of Communications Division, Records Division.

Prosecutor says prior calls about suspicious people shows his state of mind and that's important to prove second degree murder

O'Mara says these show 'prior bad acts' of his client.
