NEW YORK (AP) - A man accused of dressing as a firefighter and sexually assaulting a co-worker in her apartment bought items online for the attack, including firefighter's gear and chemicals to make smoke bombs, prosecutors said Thursday.
Jeremy Roybal, an eBay official from San Jose, Calif., testified at Peter Braunstein's trial that company records showed the freelance journalist ordered a total of 750 milliliters of chloroform and four kilograms of potassium nitrate months before the 2005 Halloween attack.
Braunstein also bought firefighting gear, a gas mask, an obsolete Detroit police badge, a Fire Department of New York windshield sticker and a camcorder, said Roybal, a fraud investigator at eBay. He ordered other items, including a pellet gun, handcuffs, leg irons and a knife, from a sporting and hunting goods site, said John T. Turner, the site's chief financial officer.
