"I Haven't Seen Him Myself" -- Butch Burroughs

[Michael Capasse]

God forbid you actually read his testimony.

Not much, was there? I know Ball did not ask. "...if a police officer had asked, had  he seen the guy at all."

... so there's that.
It certainly doesn't put anything to rest.

[John Iacoletti]

During the brief search of the theater by the police before the scuffle and the arrest, one of the police officers directly asked Burroughs if he had seen the guy at all.

This is blatantly false.

Mr. BALL. Later on the police came in your place?
Mr. BURROUGHS. Yes.
Mr. BALL. They asked you if you had seen a man come in there without a ticket?
Mr. BURROUGHS. Yes.
Mr. BALL. What did you tell him?
Mr. BURROUGHS. I said, "I haven't seen him myself. He might have, but I didn't see him when he came in. He must have sneaked in and run on upstairs before I saw him."

They didn't ask him if he had seen the guy at all, they asked him if he had seen a man come in there without a ticket.

Point being?
