No. To my knowledge, I've never met Mr. Josefsburg, so no. Q. To your knowledge, did anyone else in the group of attorneys you were working with ask Mr. Josefsburg that question? MR. SCAROLA: Excuse me. To the extent that that question would call for a communication within the common interest privilege, you should not answer it. THE WITNESS: I'm going take my counsel's advice. I can't answer that. BY MR. SIMPSON: Q. You're not going to answer whether to your knowledge anyone asked Mr. Josefsburg? A. Right. Q. But you are testifying that the fact that Mr. Josefsburg had signed a complaint with a generic term "academicians" in it was some evidence, in your mind, against Professor Dershowitz? A. Yes, because he's an academician and shortly after the complaint was filed, a partner in his firm began asking Alan Dershowitz questions about the sex abuse matter that we are discussing here.

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.
