And rather than providing all the flight logs that were available at that time, he appears to have provided flight logs that went from January 2005 through September 2005, knowing that he appeared on an October -- I may be off by one month here -- but on an October 2005 flight log. So that, to my mind, had indicated that Professor Dershowitz was providing selective information to law enforcement. Those concerns -- this is, you know, there's -~ there's more to it. The other problem was that the flight logs that Mr. Dershowitz had produced were inconsistent with the flight logs that Dave Rogers, one of Mr. Epstein's pilots had, so there were now inconsistencies on these flight logs. And it seemed to be -- it seemed to me to be surprising that during the period of time where [REDACTED] was involved, Mr. Dershowitz was not appearing on those flight logs. Now, it is possible, I suppose, and that seems to be Mr. Dershowitz's position, that the reason he's not on those flight logs is that he was not on those flights. But given all of the information -- and I won't take your time this morning to go through -- all ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 189 the information I had about this international sex trafficking organization, it seemed to me that it was also possible that the sex trafficking organization, which was represented by, you know, vast resources and the ability to produce witnesses and documents and other information that would -- would cover up the existence of this organization, had gone through the flight logs and had made necessary alterations to -~- to conceal the scope of -- of the -- of the operation. In addition to that, when I started to compare the Dave Rogers' flight logs with the David -- excuse me. I am going to get a drink. When I started to compare the -- oh, I'm sorry. I should be looking at the camera. When I started -- when I started to compare the Dave Rogers’ flight logs with the Dershowitz -- which we call them the Dershowitz flight logs, which were the logs that he had produced, there were inconsistencies, and so it struck me as odd that there were these inconsistent flight logs. The other thing that I noticed is, I don't believe that Dave Rogers was the exclusive pilot for Mr. Epstein. And so I had a concern -- excuse me. I'm sorry. 1 had a concern that the flight logs that -- ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 00:37:16 00:37:20 00:37:22 00:37:25 00:37:27 00:37:32 00:37:35 00:37:37 00:37:40 00:37:42 00:37:45 00:37:48 00:37:52 00:37:54 00:37:55 00:37:56 00:37:59 00:38:02 00:38:03 00:38:03 00:38:07 00:38:08 00:38:12 00:38:16 00:38:19 00:38:22 00:38:25 00:38:25 00:38:28 00:38:31 00:38:37 00:38:38 00:38:42 00:38:45 00:38:47 00:38:49 00:38:52 00:38:54 00:38:56 00:38:59 00:39:03 00:39:05 00:39:08 00:39:13 00:39:16 00:39:20 00:39:22 00:39:26 00:39:29 00:39:31 ON Aah OH = 9 10 11 12 13 14 16 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 oOnN OO h WO RH 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 190 that covered the jet were not just the David Rogers’ flight logs, but there should be flight logs for other pilots which were not apparently being produced. And so, in light of all that, what I was seeing was a -~ a production of flight logs that was incomplete. And then I started to hear from Mr. Dershowitz that, well, these records prove conclusively I couldn't have done that. And I knew to an absolute certainty, that the records were inconsistent and inaccurate; and for somebody who had apparently carefully produced these records, to represent that these conclusively prove that he wasn't on the flights, seemed to me to be inaccurate information. So that was -- those were the kinds of things I was thinking about. Q. ‘Mr. Cassell, is it your testimony -~ MR, SIMPSON: Well, first of all, I move to strike the nonresponsive portion of the answer. BY MR. SIMPSON: Q. Mr. Cassell, is it your testimony that you have sufficient information to conclude and allege that Professor Dershowitz falsified documents and gave falsified documents to a prosecuting authority? A. It is my belief that Professor Dershowitz ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 191 provided incomplete production to law enforcement agencies. Q. Is it your testimony under oath that you have sufficient information to allege that Professor Dershowitz intentionally provided false information to a prosecuting authority? A. It is my position that he provided incomplete information to a prosecuting authority and inaccurate information to a prosecuting authority. Now, as to precisely what his state of mind was when he was producing the incomplete and inaccurate information, that remains to be this -- you know, that was one of the topics that I was hoping could have been covered in -- in the depositions here in the last two days, but unfortunately, there wasn't sufficient time. Q. Let me ask it a different way. You -- you gave a long answer in which you described reasons you apparently believe that these flight logs were not merely incomplete, but that someone had false -- falsified them. And did I understand you correctly? MR. SCAROLA: Excuse me. The question that was asked was limited to the time period prior to December 30th. The answer that was given was limited to the time period prior to December 30th.
