Text: Like Sampson, Kizekai also testified that a friendly favor led the pair to the PCU teller's window on December 19, 2006. However, contrary to Sampson's recollection, Kizekai alleged that it was he who was doing the favor for Sampson. According to Kizekai, Sampson was visiting him at his apartment and asked if he would drive her to a hair appointment because her car was being repaired as the result of an accident. Kizekai recalled that he indulged her request and, while enroute, Sampson asked Kizekai if he also would take her to the PCU, near her final destination, so she could deposit a check before her appointment. Again, Kizekai obliged. He testified that he saw the amount of the check and questioned Sampson as to how she came into such funds. Her alleged reply was that the check was payment for her car repairs. At trial, Kizekai denied giving Sampson a stolen check or receiving any proceeds from the deposit. He also maintained that, during the time in question, he had a full-time job paying between $1,500 and $2,000 biweekly and that he held a checking account and a savings account [6] at Bank of America.
