Ms ROCCA returned to the witness-box yesterday after the court was told she would be recalled to answer questions on the probable evidence of defence witness Ms Sarah Linton.
Mr Garrett Cooney SC, for Mr Cathal Ryan, said Ms Linton would be giving evidence and he wanted to put it to Ms Rocca.
Mr Cooney said that last week he had put to her the accounts of Mr Ryan and Mr David Marshall as to what happened in the bedroom. Ms Rocca had said that at no time was there any physical contact between her and Ms Linton
Ms Rocca said that was true. "She was never an issue, it was between Cathal and I.
Mr Cooney said Ms Linton would say she was asleep in the bed and was awoken by a feeling of being hurt and of being struck.
Ms Rocca: "I absolutely disagree."
Counsel said that Ms Linton would say Mr Ryan bundled her (Ms Rocca) out of the room.
Ms Rocca: "I totally disagree. I actually take exception to it."
Mr Cooney said Ms Linton would say that Ms Rocca grabbed her by her hair and pulled her to the floor.
Ms Rocca: "On my child's life, chat is untrue."
Mr Cooney said Ms Linton would say that Ms Rocca injured her during the assault and that she would have continued if she had not been restrained by Mr Ryan.
Ms Rocca: "That's untrue."
Counsel said Ms Linton would say that when she collected herself she heard Ms Rocca screaming and shouting obscenities.
Ms Rocca: "Yes, I screamed and mouthed obscenities. I was shouting at Cathal ... no, I may have said something to her ... I did actually."
Asked if she was beside herself with fury and rage, Ms Rocca said that she was bewildered.
Mr Cooney said Ms Linton would say Ms Rocca was consumed by rage and that it was extremely difficult to restrain her.
Ms Rocca: "That's not true." Mr Cooney asked if she would deny inflicting injury on Ms Linton.
Ms Rocca: "I deny that." Counsel said there would be evidence from a doctor that Ms Linton had marks of injury on her consistent with the type she alleged.
Ms Rocca: "I say that's whatever she wants to say, but that's not my testimony and it's utterly and totally untrue."
Mr Nicholas Kearns SC, for Ms Rocca, asked if this was the first time she had heard that Ms Linton had suffered injury. Ms Rocca said she had never heard anything about the girl.
Asked if the Moloneys, who had Blackhall Stud, Co Kildare, where the alleged incident occurred, stayed friends, Ms Rocca, said yes, until a longtime after. They knew her fiance, Van Morrison. As far as she knew, Ms Linton never left the bed. All this about the middle of the floor was news to her. Ms Linton never came near her.
