Panish questioned Erickson about missing or deleted messages with Grossman in the years that followed. Panish aimed to chip away at Erickson's credibility, who admitted to deleting some messages, lying or omitting information at different stages, including knowingly handing over a vehicle to experts, saying he was driving at the time of the incident but was not.
"And you lied under oath when you produced the car to be examined by all of these experts that traveled to Las Vegas, and you watched all day as they inspected the car that wasn't involved, didn't you sir? " Panish asked Erickson on the stand. Witness accounts presented earlier in the trial described Erickson and Grossman as racing before the crash. Erickson denied those accounts and responded to some speeding allegations.
"Did you tell the police you were going 50 on Lindero Canyon? " Panish asked. Erickson was questioned for about five hours, mostly providing brief responses.
