Bullock, the star of "The Blind Side," "Gravity" and other
films, was at home during the reported break-in. The audio
played in court was taken from her June 8, 2014, call to police.
In it, a frantic and fearful Bullock is heard describing the
events.
"Someone has broken into my house. I'm hiding in the closet,"
says Bullock, in the recording. "I'm locked in my closet. I have
a safe door in my bedroom, and I've locked it, and I'm locked in
the closet right now," she adds.
Later, she describes hearing the suspect banging on her bedroom
door.
"I hear - I hear them. I hear someone banging on the door,"
Bullock says.
In court on Thursday wearing prison garb, Corbett sat idly while
the call was replayed.
Corbett, 39, has pleaded not guilty to several charges,
including felony charges of burglary, stalking and possession of
a machine gun, and 19 additional felony weapons charges.
Police reported finding a weapons cache, including several
machine guns, at the Montrose, California, home of Corbett
following his arrest at Bullock's residence in an upscale
neighborhood near Beverly Hills. Prosecutors say Corbett was
unarmed at the time of his arrest.
Corbett, whose bail last July was set at over $2 million, is
being held in Los Angeles County Jail.
Corbett faces up to seven years and four months in prison if
convicted on the three felony counts of burglary, stalking and
possession, as well as an additional maximum prison term of 12
years if convicted on the felony weapons charges.
