About

Brice Mankowski testified for the defense on Day 20 about his experience working with Timothy Jones at Intel. He described Jones as social and intensely opinionated but generally not mean, and recounted an agitated workplace encounter during the summer of 2014.

Mankowski also described later workplace changes, including tardiness, missed meetings, unexplained absences, and reasoning he considered irrational. He said he had not felt physically threatened during the workplace encounter, although he believed confrontation could have escalated it.

On cross-examination, Mankowski said disagreements with Jones were generally work-related and sometimes concerned financial interests. He qualified the timing of the changes, and said he did not know of alleged spice use or observe violent outbursts or a loss of emotional control during team meetings.
