I wasnt in L.A., he testified Friday.
Ephron said he simply did his homework and accused Tacopina of trying to be slick and sneaky.
The judge ordered him to stop hurling insults.

I just wanted to stop talking to you, he said today.
He only found two, he testified.
I never planted nothing, he said on the witness stand today.
Mayers, 36, has pleaded not guilty.
Mayers is adamant he never fired any live bullets.
If convicted as charged, Mayers is facing up to 24 years in prison, prosecutors have said.
Surveillance video at the center of the trial was first shown in court in November 2023.
Its a series of clips from multiple commercial and residential cameras depicting Mayers holding some punch in of firearm.
He claimed Mayers verbally threatened to kill him and then opened fire.
Under cross-examination, Ephron became combative and defensive, especially when asked about the $30 million lawsuit.
He robotically answered I dont recall several times, complained he had a headache and taunted Tacopina.
Lets go, Mr. Tacopina, lets go, he said at one point.
Yeah, I was afraid, I was hurt, I was a lot of things, he testified.
I was feeling a lot of different things, but at the moment, I was just mad.
During a lengthy cross-examination, Tacopina focused many questions on Ephrons alleged access to 9 mm ammunition.
Thats when Tacopina first confronted him with the video showing Ephron standing at the shooting range.
He also showed jurors a photo of a firearm at the gun range.
Thats not my gun, Ephron said.
Undeterred, Tacopina asked if it was a 9 mm semiautomatic.
Im not a gun expert, Ephron replied.
In the video, did you see shell casings ejecting backwards as you fired?
In the video we just showed.
Do you see it, thats all Im asking, Tacopina pressed.
I guess, Ephron replied.
Tacopina played the video again for jurors to clearly see the shell casings ejecting over Ephrons shoulder.
Ephron begrudgingly said he saw them.
Was that referring to Rocky?
Yeah, I got damages.
I already got a lawyer, Ephron said.
The denial meant Tacopina couldnt play the recordings for jurors with Ephron on the stand.
(Tacopina later called Wally Sajimi to the stand and was able to play the recordings.
Tacopina also interrogated Ephron over his injured left hand.
Ephron told the jury he immediately felt a hot sensation after hearing the first shot.
Previously, under direct questioning, Ephron initially said the lone individual was him before changing his mind.
Is this Ms. Parker?
Ephron said he couldnt tell.
You dont know if this is your girlfriend?
I dont know, cant tell, Ephron said.
Shes got makeup on.
Lewin said Ephron was protective of his family.
Tacopina shot back that the girlfriend was not his family.
Lewin then accused Tacopina of seeking to prejudice the jury by hinting at her alleged profession.
The two lawyers then turned to each other and started trading heated jabs.
At one point, Tacopina called Lewin a clown, leading Judge Mark Arnold to yell, Stop it!
as Mayers stepped in between Lewin and Tacopina to signal it was time to walk away.
