The alleged mastermind of a brazen escape from Orange County Jail seven years ago took the stand in his trial and denied kidnapping a taxi driver while on the lam.
"It was parts that I did," Nayeri said. "It was parts somebody else did. It was parts that was planned that of course I was a part of. I had help elsewhere, so this wasn't just a one man show."
During cross examination prosecutors, challenged Nayeri on whether or not the inmates had ever been in possession of a handgun. "From the second me, Jonathan and Bac escaped from Orange County Sheriff's Department's jail to the second me and Jonathan got arrested in San Francisco; minute one to minute end, not no one had a revolver, semi-automatic, automatic of any kind of gun. Period," Nayeri said.
Nayeri was sentenced to life in prison without parole last year for torturing a marijuana dispensary owner in a kidnapping-extortion scheme in 2012.Nayeri's escape from jail and kidnapping trial is expected to wrap up this week and the jury could start deliberating as soon as this Thursday.
