And so that is the -- I believe is the -- the information that I had available to me on December 30th involving not just [REDACTED], but the entire sex trafficking organization. Q. Okay. And that -- just to clarify again, it exhausts your refreshed recollection as to both the information you were relying on as to the allegations about [REDACTED], and as to the allegations about other minors; is that right? A. Correct. Q. So I don't have to ask you separately about Roberts? A. That's right. No, and I gave you a heads-up, that was going to be a long answer. Q. You made Mr. Dershowitz look like an amateur. If I could -- MR. SCAROLA: I'm sorry. Like a what? MR. SIMPSON: Amateur, at the Jong answers. ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 118 THE WITNESS: Well, I wasn't trying to -- let me be clear. I want the record to be clear: I was not trying to filibuster. You asked me a very direct question which was: I want to know everything that was in your memory on December 30th, and as you can tell, this was a very important subject to me, and it's very important to Miss Roberts, and I wanted to be comprehensive. And I gave you the opportunity to say, let's -- let's have a narrower question, and -- but you wanted the broad question and that's why I did this, so I wasn't... BY MR. SIMPSON: Q. Mr. Cassell, I apologize for attempting humor in this intense situation. A. This is very important to me. Q. I--I--I-- A. This is not -- this is not something that I find funny. Q. And -- well, it -- like I say, it's very important to Mr. Dershowitz, or Professor Dershowitz also. He was trying to answer questions. I'm not questioning that you were trying to answer my question, and I appreciate it.

Discovery Dispute Over Alan Dershowitz's Document Control in Defamation Suit

Discovery Dispute Over Alan Dershowitz's Document Control in Defamation Suit The passage outlines a procedural battle over production of documents and metadata in a defamation case involving Alan Dershowitz. While it flags potential evidence that could expose communications or internal materials, it lacks concrete details about the content, dates, or parties beyond the litigants, limiting immediate investigative value. However, the mention of “control” and alleged refusal to produce metadata could merit follow‑up to determine what information is being withheld and whether it relates to broader controversies surrounding Dershowitz. Key insights: Plaintiffs allege Dershowitz is withholding documents and metadata under the claim of ‘control’.; The objection is framed as ‘word play’ and gamesmanship, suggesting possible intentional concealment.; Discovery objections focus on timeframe limits, implying plaintiffs seek records spanning an undefined period.

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated The passage hints at a possible concealment of evidence in a high‑profile defamation dispute involving Alan Dershowitz, a prominent attorney, and references the infamous Giuffre allegations. While it names well‑known legal figures, it provides no concrete financial transactions, dates, or new factual revelations beyond already public claims, limiting its investigative utility. However, the suggestion that a court record may be sealed to hide potentially damaging testimony offers a moderate lead for further document‑review and freedom‑of‑information requests. Key insights: Dershowitz requests the court to declare portions of Ms. Giuffre’s affidavit confidential.; He publicly denies the allegations on BBC Radio 4, framing them as a coordinated false‑story campaign.; Dershowitz threatens perjury prosecution against accusers and seeks disbarment of opposing counsel.
