Narrative:

Just had cleared customs at gate. My first officer was getting clearance and taxi instructions. I was doing post-start, pre-taxi checklist. Bad side-tone, I was unable to hear his readback. He told me, 'runway 24L via taxiway west, runway 24C, right turn taxiway Z hold short of runway 24L.' made left turn from gate, stopped short of runway 24L. He insisted cleared to cross runway 24L (active runway) right runway 24C, taxiway Z, right turn hold short runway 24L. Problem arose by me accepting first officer's instructions -- not questioning his insistence to cross runway 24L. Retrospect, does not make sense. How about, 'runway 24L via taxiway west, hold short.' he claims clearance was, 'runway 24L via taxiway west, right runway 24C, right taxiway Z hold short runway 24L.' discovered when given phone number to call, I called back on ground, when informed, 'looks like you crossed active runway,' told boys to hold tapes. Contributing factors: overaggressive first officer. I put too much trust in this guy. I did not hear his readback. Corrective actions: captain always will listen and copy down all clrncs. Also have airport taxi chart in his possession.
