The grand jury room, ADA calls John Cena into the grand jury room, then the doors opens, in walks John Cena the jurors watch him as he walks in they saw that he 6'1 and he well-built man. He walks over to the witness stand, where a bailiff came over with the bible and asks him to place his left hand on the bible and raise his right hand. John did what the bailiff asks him. He swore him in after taking the oath he sat down in the chair.
John began to tell the jurors a beautiful love story of meeting his wife Sabrina McMahon in Massachusetts, while she was attending Boston College. He told them how he had falling in love with her after just seeing her she had took his breath away, and made his heart beat a whole lot fasten. She was beautiful.
ADA asks him were you already working her family business the WWE.
John answered with no I was not working for the WWE when I met her. I signed my WWE contract in March 2001 after having two tryout matches.
ADA asked him when was it that you found out that you were dating Vince and Linda McMahon daughter.
John answered at first I didn't know that she was they daughter until she ask me to be her date for her brother Vincent's wedding, and she told me that my family owned WWE. I was in shock, and she told me not to worry.
ADA asks him was she right about at not to worry.
John answered yes; Vince and Linda McMahon accepted me along with Shane, his wife Marissa, Vincent, his wife Kathleen and of course Stephanie.
ADA asks him how about Stephanie's then boyfriend Paul Levesque did he accepts you.
John answered no; I could tell he did not like me dating Sabrina.
ADA asks him is that when threatens start?
John answered no it did not. It start in the summer of 2002 when I was finally call up to the main roster full time and seeing Sabrina more.
ADA asks him when he first threatened you.
John answered the first time threaten happens at PPV call Vengeance my very first PPV in the WWE. He threaten me, by saying that I need to broke up with Sabrina for the good of my wrestling career and especially if I want to make it in the WWE. In addition, I told him where to go with his threaten. I um cruse at him, and I said you are not Sabrina's dad so you have no right to tell me anything. He did not look too happy with me when I refuse to break up with Sabrina.
ADA asks him that was the beginning of threatens.
John answered yes; he told me do not say I did not warn you and do not be too surprise when if you do not go any anywhere in the WWE. He would constantly tell me the same threaten for weeks on ends and it turns into months. Then it stop and he leave me alone.
He had collaborated Shane, Marissa, Vincent and Kathleen McMahon testified on how Paul Levesque first began threaten him about breaking up with Sabrina McMahon.
ADA ask him when was the next time he threaten with the same old threatens?
John answered no, he would gave me dirty looks and I had thought about gong to Vince, but I change my minds because I did not want him thinking that I am some kind of complainer and not being able to defense myself, he would probably think that I am not championship material. I use to get bully when I was young until I start training and bulk up to where the bullies left me alone.
ADA asks him when he found out that Paul Lévesque was threatening Sabrina.
John answered after Valentine's Day 2003 was when I found out about that he went to her and began threatening me through her, and he had scared her to death. I had become enrage and curse says who in the beep he thinks he is. I told her he is not your father Sabrina. During his threatens against me, he had inadvertently told her that he was going to be the only WWE Superstars who marries into her family. Sabrina told me that she knew at that moment that he was only with her sister because she is the owner daughter it is not about love like with us.
ADA asks him did you even thinking about going after him, after you heard that he went Sabrina?
He answered yes, I thought about it but I thought better of it, because I did not know what he would do to Sabrina or me.
ADA asks him if he knew that Sabrina did thinking about break up with him.
He answered yes; I knew that she was thinking about break up with me. However, she told me that could not because she was so in love with me that she did not know if she could love any man knowing that he is not me. Honestly, I was grateful that she did not break up with me because I do not know if I could love any women either.
ADA asks him if Sabrina was never alone with him.
He answered no, she was never leave alone with him, and I did not trust him. I ask her to marry and she accepts immediately then we told her brothers, sister in laws and then my family. We immediately had begun planning a small intimate wedding. We got marry on Monday August 25, 2003 two months before Stephanie McMahon married that scum.
ADA asks him about Saturday November 8, 2003, what was day like for you and your bride Sabrina?
He answered well we are at our home in Greenwich. Um we made love three times that day and then later I was about carry her upstairs again, but she told me to getting going because I had a match in Bridgeport Conn at one of the house show. I said okay I am going, I gave kiss her and then leave. I thought she would be safe because he was possible to be in Boston MA, but he was not there, he was in Greenwich.
ADA asks what time did you get home?
He answers It was well, after eleven clock, the house was dark, I thought maybe she was upstairs in our bedroom watch TV, when I enter house. I called out to her but I got no answer. I um, he clear his throat and took a sip of water, and the jurors knew that this was going to be tough for him. I um, uh, jogging up the staircase then walk toward the master bedroom and I notice that the TV was not on the bedroom, and i thought maybe she fall asleep read a book. When I enter the bedroom, I notice that the bed mess and that she was not laid in bed. I, then call out for her and still got no answers.
He took a deep breath and gathers himself, then speaks again. I walk further into the bedroom toward the bathroom and that is when I found my wife naked on the side of the bed and out cold. I rush over to her, kneel beside her, and check for a pulse it was weak then grabs the house phone and call for ambulance. Then I told her that help was on the way baby. Then I calls her brother and told what had happens to her.
John hangs his head, took a deep, and slowly exhales and ADA told him to take his time.
He lifts his head looks at the jurors and they saw the sadness in his blue eyes. He continues on and told them the ambulance arrives call out someone call for ambulance and I yell back yes up here. I heard them rush up the staircase and into the master bedroom, then rush to save my wife, and I beg them too. Then Vincent and Kathleen show up and Vincent came over to me while I watch the Paramedics work on my wife. And I told him that I found her that way. When we got to the hospital and we were in the waiting room I told him that Paul Levesque is responsible for what had happens to her.
ADA asks him about hearing his wife injuries.
He answered in a sadly tone, yes the doctor told us her injuries and I was sick to my stomach hearing what that sick SOB did to my wife. He… he rap—rape my wife, sexual and battered her all because we would not break up. When I walks into the hospital room I did not recognize my own wife, she had a black eye, black and blue mark on her cheek, and cut above her eye.
ADA asks him what happen the next morning when she had waked up.
He answers, she began to cry and I climbs into the bed with her and held her while she cry. When she stops, I ask her if she want us to calls the police. She began to shake and cry again, then told us, that she cannot he will kills everyone in the family expect for Stephanie.
ADA asks him is that when you two decide to leave the state Connecticut to protect her family?
He answers, yes, I know that my wife would not put her family is dangerous. I lied to my father in law ask him to buy out my contract and he did. Then we left the state and heads to a secretly location that only Vincent, Kathleen, Shane and Marissa knew about. My wife hasn't left the house in twelve years, and she had been in hid. She was scare that someone would take her picture be post it on the internet. I have support my wife for twelve years.
ADA asks if your wife has been in hiding for twelve years, she hasn't seeing a doctor or dentist
John answers my wife has been seeing by a doctor and dentist but in secret all her doctor appoints were early in the morning or the evening she was the very patient of the day.
ADA asks him how did she gave birth to four kids, then?
John answers at the hospital under cover, she was in a very private hospital room and the doctor and nurse has to sign confidential agreement not to take her picture. She would joke with me and tell me I feel like I am working for the CIA.
