CASE NO.: CACE 15-000072
BRADLEY J. EDWARDS and
Plaintiffs/Counterclaim Defendants,
vs.
Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff.
DEFENDANT/COUNTERCLAIM PLAINTIFF ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ'S
MOTION FOR FINDING OF WAIVER BASED ON PLAINTIFFS'
Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ ("Dershowitz") respectfully
moves this Court for entry of an Order ruling that Plaintiffs BRADLEY J. EDWARDS
("Edwards") and PAUL G. CASSELL ("Cassell") (together, "Plaintiffs") have waived any
privilege or protection that may have otherwise applied to documents and information that are
responsive to Dershowitz's discovery requests. In the alternative, Dershowitz requests that the
Court enter an Order compelling Plaintiffs to provide an itemized privilege log by a date certain.
On February 11, 2015, Dershowitz served his First Sets of Document Requests and First
Sets of Interrogatories on each of the Plaintiffs, individually (collectively, the "Initial Discovery
Requests"). On March 13, 2015, Plaintiffs served their responses to the Initial Discovery
Requests, which asserted that many of the documents and much of the information sought by
Dershowitz are protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the work product doctrine. See
EFTA00608894
Exhibits A & B. Plaintiffs did not, however, produce a single document to Dershowitz, nor did
they provide a privilege log to substantiate their assertions of privilege. After months of delay,
Plaintiffs finally produced some documents to Dershowitz in late July and early August 2015.
On August 25, 2015, Plaintiffs served Supplemental Responses to Dershowitz's First Sets of
Document Requests that continued to assert the attorney-client privilege and the work product
doctrine as a basis for withholding responsive documents. See Exhibit C. To date, however,
Plaintiffs still have not provided a privilege log in connection with the Initial Discovery
Requests, despite numerous requests by Dershowitz and despite Plaintiffs' representation that
they would provide such a privilege log no later than September 4, 2015.
On September 9, 2015, Plaintiffs served responses to Dershowitz's Second Set of
Document Requests to Edwards and to Dershowitz's Third Set of Document Requests to Cassell
(the "Additional Discovery Requests"). See Exhibits D & E.
In response to Request No. 2 in
the Additional Discovery Requests, both Plaintiffs objected solely on the basis of attorney-client
privilege, see id, but once again failed to provide any privilege log listing the specific documents
that were withheld as privileged.
1.
Plaintiffs have waived their right to assert any privileges or protections by
failing to provide a privilege log in a timely manner or by their own self-imposed deadline.
Without a privilege log, it is impossible to assess the basis of Plaintiffs' assertions of privilege or
to determine the validity of those assertions. See, e.g., Gen. Motors Corp. v. McGee, 837 So. 2d
1010, 1033 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002) ("One purpose of the privilege log is to identify materials which
might be subject to a privilege or work product protection so that a court can rule on the
applicability of the privilege or protection prior to trial.") (internal quotation marks omitted) , as
2
EFTA00608895
modified on clarification (Mar. 5, 2003). It is also impossible to determine whether responsive
documents exist and are being withheld, or whether there simply are no responsive documents.
Moreover, the failure to provide a privilege log is, in and of itself, a sufficient basis to
conclude that Plaintiffs have waived any privilege or protection that may have attached to
documents and information responsive to the Initial Discovery Requests and the Additional
Discovery Requests. See, e.g., Kaye Schuler LLP v. Zalis, 878 So. 2d 447, 449 (Fla. 3d DCA
2004) (a waiver can be found based upon a party's failure to file a privilege log after objecting to
discovery requests on the basis of privilege); TIC Ins. Corp. of Am. v. Johnson, 799 So. 2d 339,
34042 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) (same).1
2.
Plaintiffs must, at a minimum, be compelled to provide a comprehensive,
itemized privilege log by a date certain. Plaintiffs have indicated to Dershowitz that — if they
provide a privilege log at all — they do not intend to log individual documents; rather, they plan
to indicate broadly which "categories" of documents they have withheld.'- This approach is
inconsistent with Florida law. See, e.g., Johnson, 799 So. 2d at 341 (interpreting what is now
Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.280(b)(6) as requiring a privilege log that specifies (1) the type of document;
(2) the document's subject matter; (3) the date of the document; and (4) other information
As set forth in Dershowitz's Motion to Compel Plaintiffs' Production of Documents &
Complete Responses to Interrogatories, filed on September 8, 2015, Plaintiffs' actions in filing
this defamation lawsuit have also resulted in an at-issue waiver of any privilege or protection that
may have otherwise attached to responsive information and documents. Plaintiffs' failure to file
a privilege log presents a separate and independently sufficient basis for a finding of waiver.
2 As noted above, Plaintiffs initially represented to Dershowitz that they would provide a
privilege log in connection with the Original Discovery Responses no later than September 4,
2015. Most recently, however, Plaintiffs have indicated that they will not provide any sort of
privilege log for certain documents located at their counsel's office — not even one that lists
broad categories of documents that are being withheld — unless and until the Court orders them to
do so.

EFTA00608896
needed to identify the document for a subpoena duces tecum, including, where appropriate, the
author of the document, the recipient of the document, and, if not apparent, the relationship
between the author and recipient). Thus, in the alternative to a finding of waiver, Plaintiffs must
be compelled to produce, by a date certain, an itemized privilege log that lists each responsive
document that was created before December 30, 2014,3 but has been withheld on the basis of the
attorney-client privilege or work product protection.
WHEREFORE, Defendant / Counterclaim Plaintiff ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ, by and
through his undersigned counsel, respectfully requests this Honorable Court to enter an Order
(a) ruling that, due to their continued failure to provide a privilege log, Plaintiffs have waived
any privilege or protection that may have otherwise applied to documents and information that
are responsive to the Initial Discovery Requests and the Additional Discovery Requests; or, in
the alternative, (b) compels Plaintiffs to provide an itemized privilege log that comports with
Florida law by a date certain.
Pursuant to the Court's Rules and Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, the undersigned
counsel certifies that he has made a good faith attempt to resolve this matter with opposing
counsel prior to filing this motion.
3 Dershowitz agrees that there is no reason to log individual documents that were created on or
after December 30, 2014, which is the date on which the parties to this defamation lawsuit
reasonably anticipated litigation.

1. State verbatim or as close as possible Each statement by Dershowitz that You assert
defamed You.
ANSWER:
Until we have transcripts of all of the statements Mr. Dershowitz has publicly
made, we are unable to identify each defamatory statement. In addition, it appears that Mr.
Dershowitz continues to make defamatory statements at every opportunity he has to attract the
attention of an audience. However, the general defamatory themes can be illustrated based on the
currently available information, by the following examples which describe the specific
statements made along with the program or source publishing the statements and the
approximate date on which the statement was made or published by the media:
Politico.com — December 31, 2014
Dershowitz called the allegations against him included in public filings by the Plaintiffs "totally
made up and totally fabricated from beginning to end."
Additionally: "I'm planning to file disbarment charges against the two lawyers who signed this
petition without even checking the manifests of airplanes or travel itineraries, et cetera."

Wall Street Journal Law Blog — January 2, 2015:
"It's a completely, totally fabricated, made-up story," Mr. Dershowitz told Law Blog in an
interview Friday. "They made up this story out of whole cloth. I'm an innocent victim of an
extortion conspiracy."
htto://bloas.wsj.com/law/2015/01 /02/dershowitz-im-an-innocent-victim-of-an-extortion-
conspiracy/
New York Times — January 3, 2015:
On Saturday, Mr. Dershowitz said he "categorically and unequivocally" denied all of the
allegations. He said he would file disbarment proceedings against the lawyers who filed the
motion, Bradley J. Edwards, a lawyer in Florida, and Paul G. Cassell, a former federal judge and
a law professor at the University of Utah. "They are lying deliberately, and I will not stop until
they're disbarred," Mr. Dershowitz said in a phone interview.

Dershowitz denied the claims [that he was a witness to the abuse of minors by Epstein and
others], describing them as part of an extortion plot He called the filing "the sleaziest legal
document I have ever seen." "They [Edwards and Cassell] manipulated a young, suggestible
woman who was interested in money," Dershowitz said. Dershowitz said he intends to file
complaints against Edwards and Cassell. "This is a disbarrable offense, and they will be
disbarred," Dershowitz said. "They will rue the day they ever made this false charge against me."

BBC — January 3, 2015:
"Well, first of all they were made in court papers that they don't even ask for a hearing to try to
prove them. They put them in court papers in order to immunize themselves from any

consequences from a defamation suit. The story is totally made up, completely out of whole
cloth.
"And I will prove beyond any doubt not only that the story is totally false, but it was knowingly
false: that the lawyers and the client conspired together to create a false story."
"Q: They have said that they have tried to get testimony from you but that you have avoided their
deposition requests. A: Totally false. That's totally false. I have never been asked to be
deposed."
"I will not rest or stop until the world understands not only that I had nothing to do with any of
this, but that she deliberately, with the connivance of her lawyer, lawyers, made up this
story willfully and knowingly."

"I never met this woman, I never touched her, I wasn't ever massaged by her — there was no
contact, no contact whatsoever," Dershowitz told CNN. "And I will prove it conclusively, and
then I will bring disciplinary charges and prove that these lawyers knew that this was false, could
easily have checked, and didn't. And the end result will be that these lawyers will be disbarred."

Huffington Post — January 5, 2015:
On Friday, in the voicemail message for Goldman [of the Website Politico], Dershowitz said that
the charges against him were "totally made up." Goldman forwarded the message to The
Huffington Post. Dershowitz called the woman a "serial liar" who he contended has a history of
5
EFTA00608905
making up false charges against public figures, including former President Bill Clinton. "It's just
a completely categorical lie made up to gain money for her, and I hope no one takes it in any
way seriously," he added. Dershowitz . . told Politico earlier this week that he was planning
legal action against the attorneys who signed off on the filing. "I'm planning to file disbarment
charges against the two lawyers who signed this petition without even checking the manifests of
airplanes or travel itineraries, et cetera," he said to Politico.

A copy of the voicemail left by Dershowitz can be found
at: htta://big.assets.huffingtontost.corn/Dershowitz.AMR
The voicemail includes the statement from Dershowitz: "I don't know what happened with any
of the public figures [mentioned by Jane Doe No. 3], but I know that in my case I did have any
contact with her. I would have been physically impossible for me to. It's just a completely,
categorical lie made up out of whole cloth in order to gain money for her."
CNN Live (with Hala Gorani) — January 5, 2015:
"And if these lawyers, these sleazy unprofessional, unethical lawyers, Paul Cassell and Brad
Edwards, if they had just done an hours' worth of research and work, they would have seen she
is lying through her teeth. That's why I'm going after them, their bar cards. I'm seeking
disciplinary action against them. I'm filing defamation lawsuits against them and their client."
"Ask them [Edwards and Cassell] if they have any evidence . . . They're doing it for
money. She's getting money for having sold her story. She wants to sell the book. They're
trying to get into this lawsuit. They see a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They're
[Edwards and Cassell] prepared to lie, cheat, and steal. These are unethical lawyers. This is
Professor Cassell who shouldn't be allowed near a student. This is Professor Cassell, who is a
former federal judge, thank God he no longer wears a robe. He is essentially a crook. He is
essentially somebody who's distorted the legal profession.... "
"And so we [Jeffrey Epstein and I] can prove it [i.e., the falsity of the allegations] without any
doubt. That's what's so absurd. That's what's so strange why two experienced lawyers would
file this kind of statement knowing it was untrue. These [Cassell and Edwards] are virtually the
equivalent of perjurers, and they have to be taken out of the legal profession. They can't be
allowed to have a bar card to victimize more innocent people. They claim to victims' rights
lawyers, but they're not. They're hurting victims. They're hurting rape victims. Because they're
putting forward somebody who is not a rape victim who is claiming to be a rape victim. "

"Her lawyers Paul Cassell, a former federal judge and Brad Edwards, deliberately and willfully
filed this interpleading which they knew I had no opportunity to respond to in court, without
doing any investigation, if they had simply investigated the manifests of the airplanes, if they had
checked my travel records, if they had asked me and I could have given the names of these
people who are witnesses, they would know the stories, totally, completely false."
"These lawyers [Edwards and Cassell] engaged in unethical behavior and should be disbarred...
. Because they filed a paper in which they didn't ask to try to prove it, they didn't say we
alleged, we want to prove it. They just threw it in there, it's the legal equivalent of scribbling
something on a toilet stall and then running away. They didn't think they would be any response
and they will rue the day that they filed this unethical complaint because, they I believe will be
disbarred."

Boston Globe — January 6, 2015:
Dershowitz said (in what was described as a brief phone interview Tuesday) that Jane Doe No.
3's claims are outrageous and her attorneys, including former federal judge Paul Cassell, should
be disbarred. "[Cassell] is a money-grubbing, unethical sleazebag, a former federal judge who
left the bench for money. The end result of this will be bankruptcy, disbarment, and eternal
disgrace."

Forbes - January 13. 2015:
Dershowitz has called Cassell and his co-counsel Bradley Edwards "sleazy, unprofessional,
unethical lawyers" who should have known that their client, Jane Doe #3, is "lying through her
teeth."
American Lawyer/Palm Beach Daily Business Review - January 20, 2015:
"They [Edwards and Cassell] want to void the plea agreement and needed to find a lawyer who
knew Epstein before [the indictment], and had been on his island, his home in New Mexico,
Palm Beach. I fit the bill. It was lawyer profiling."
9
EFTA00608909
"Everyone is shocked that he [Cassell] would be part of this. I think he's always hated me
because Pm his opposite. I'm the conventional liberal he hates: I'm against the death penalty, I'm
pro-abortion rights, pro-gun control."
The Today Show - January 22, 2015:
In response to a question from Savannah Guthrie that "In legal papers from the lawyers, they say
you've had, in fact, the opportunity to be deposed," Dershowitz responded: "They're
lying. They're lying."
In response to a question from Savannah Guthrie that "[t]hey show letters in which they offered
to depose you," Dershowitz responded: "And they didn't show my letters in response saying, (a),
if you ask me about my legal relationship with Epstein and I'll be happy to answer. . . . And I
responded that I would be happy to be deposed if you could give me any indication that I would
be a relevant witness
"They will be proved — all of them [i.e., Cassell, Edwards, and Jane Doe No. 3] — to be
categorically lying and making up this story. And it will be a terrible thing for rape
victims.
They have put rape victims in a terrible position.
Because when I
unequivocally prove that they sat down and made this all up, tragically it will hurt all rape
victims."
"The lawyers are lying through their teeth when they say I've refused to be deposed. . . . We
[Epstein and Dershowitz] had an academic relationship. I was never in the presence of a single,
young, under-aged woman. When I was with him, it was with prominent scientists, prominent
academics. And they're just — again — lying about this. I never saw him doing anything
improper. I was not a participant. I was not a witness. And I will prove it categorically."

Speech to the Dade County Bar Association — Feb. 20, 2015:
"Of course, I didn't know this woman [Jane Doe No. 3], I'd never heard of her, I never saw her,
totally made up out of the blue, and made up by two irresponsible lawyers who hadn't done
sufficient checking. If they had called me and checked with me, they would see that I was in the
places they said this happened only once each, both with my wife and my daughter and a group
of witnesses and friends, including a very prominent professor at the Harvard business school.
They never would have filed this drive by shooting. By the way, they didn't even ask for a
hearing, they didn't say they would prove it."
"Not only will I prevail in this case, because the accusation is totally — completely, completely —
totally fabricated and made up. But I hope it will change the law. I hope it will make it
impossible for future lawyers to just do these kind of drive by shootings, where without any real
investigation, without any real preparation, they just make these allegations."
"And yet these two lawyers — Brad Edwards, from, whose partner Rothstein is now in jail for 50
years for a Ponzi scheme involving the same case, and a guy named Cassell — filed this
grievance, not grievance, just allegation again me in passing without doing even the most
minimal of investigation, which would have proven conclusively that I not only didn't, but
couldn't have, possibly done it."
On information and belief, additional statements of an equivalent defamatory character can also
be found in other publications and sources.
In addition to the specific sources cited above, many of the statements cited above were
republished or rebroadcast on the Internet and in other places.
In addition, on information and belief, Dershowitz made statements of an equivalent character in
written or oral communications with various associates and acquaintances, including Ken
Starr, Akhil Amar, and members of the faculty at the Harvard Law School.
2. Separately for Each statement identified in response to the proceeding Interrogatory, if
any part of the statement is true, identify the part that is true.
ANSWER: The factual assertions contained or implied in the statements quoted in answer to
Interrogatory Number I were not true, notably with regard to claims that Edwards and Cassell
with deliberately lying, had failed to conduct an investigation of the allegations before filing
them, had manipulated or conspired with Jane Doe No. 3 to make intentionally false
allegations about Mr. Dershowitz, and that Plaintiffs were motivated to participate in the filing of
knowingly false accusations against the Defendant by a desire to achieve personal economic
gain.

ANSWER: Facts supporting belief that Dershowitz knew the statements described in response to

the statements were false) are found in the documents and other materials and
references provided in answer to Request for Production Number 2.
On information and belief, Dershowitz also learned significant information during the course of
his representation of Jeffrey Epstein that would have made it clear that he was making false
representations about Edwards and Cassell. He has revealed some of those facts publicly, and
discovery regarding other such facts is on-going.
4. Describe in detail All facts Concerning the "character assassination" referenced in
paragraph 8 of the Complaint.
ANSWER: See answer to Interrogatory number 1.
5. Describe in detail All facts Concerning Dershowitz's alleged "participation in Epstein's
criminal conduct" referenced in paragraph 16 of the Complaint.
ANSWER: At the time of the filing of legal pleadings referencing the Defendant Dershowitz and
continuing up to and including the time of the filing of these response, Plaintiffs had reason to
believe and do in fact believe in good faith believe that Dershowitz participated in Epstein's
illegal sexual activities, including having criminal sexual relations with Jane Doe No. 3 — at
Epstein's direction and invitation -- in Florida, New York, and elsewhere. See documents and
other materials and references provided in answer to Request for Production Number
2. Dershowitz also failed to disclose his awareness of illegal sexual behavior and abuse of
minors by Epstein and others that occurred in Florida, New York, and elsewhere. Dershowitz
also travelled on aircraft with Epstein and Epstein's criminal associates (e.g, Sarah
Kellen). Dershowitz also unethically assisted in providing criminal defense representation to
Epstein in connection with possible federal and state criminal charges against him (Epstein),
even though he (Dershowitz) was a witness to significant events concerning the crimes and even
though he had his own personal interests in the outcome of the charging decision. As a result of
all this, Dershowitz's communications with Epstein fall with the crime/fraud/misconduct
exception to the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine. On information and belief,
Dershowitz and Epstein possess significant other evidence regarding crimes against minor girls
(including Jane Doe No. 3), but have refused — and are continuing to refuse — to provide it to
law enforcement or otherwise make it public.
12
EFTA00608912
6. Describe in detail All facts Concerning Dershowitz's alleged knowledge that the filing
referenced in paragraph 17 of the Complaint was "an entirely proper and well-founded
pleading."
ANSWER: See documents and other materials and references provided in answer to Request for
Production Number 2. These materials make clear that Dershowitz had sexual relations with
Jane Doe No. 3 and that a pleading filed by her lawyers to that effect was entirely proper and
well-founded. In addition, the documents and other materials and references make clear
that Dershowitz knew that Edwards and Cassell had conducted significant investigation before
filing the pleading — and that Edwards and Cassell had significant supporting evidence for the
pleading. Dershowitz also knew that he (along with Epstein and his criminal associates) had
evaded efforts to depose him about these subjects, which provided further legitimate support for
Edwards and Cassell making such a filing. As a law professor and criminal defense attorney,
Dershowitz was also well aware of the obligations of attorneys to zealously advocate on behalf
of their clients and to pursue the reasonable and legitimate objectives of their clients.
7. Describe in detail All facts Concerning the "massive public media assault" referenced in
paragraph 17 of the Complaint.
ANSWER: See answers to Interrogatory Number 1 for illustrative examples of statements that
were part of the massive public media assault waged by Dershowitz against Edwards and
Cassell, as well as sources where additional statements can be found. Discovery on this subject
is on-going, as Dershowitz is in the best position to provide this information. He alone knows
which media sources he provided defamatory information to.
8. Identify the (a) date, (b) time, and (c) broadcast or print media source of Each of the
"multiple national televised interviews," "statements to and repeated by national and
international print news sources" and "various other forms nationally and internationally"
alleged in paragraph 19 of the Complaint.
ANSWER: See answers to Interrogatory Number 1 for illustrative examples of statements that
were part of the massive public media assault waged by Dershowitz against Edwards and
Cassell. Discovery on this subject is on-going, as Dershowitz is in the best position to provide
this information. He alone knows which media sources he provided defamatory information to,
and he alone continues to add to the list.
9. To the extent that any of the "multiple national televised interviews," "statements to and
repeated by national and international print news sources" and "various other forms
nationally and internationally" alleged in paragraph 19 of the Complaint have not been
published or transcribed and produced by You in response to Dershowitz's First Set of
Document Requests to You in this action, separately for Each such statement or interview,
please state as closely as possible what was said by Each person or source.
13
EFTA00608913
ANSWER: See answers to Interrogatory Number 1 for illustrative examples of statements that
were part of the massive public media assault waged by Dershowitz against Edwards and
Cassell. Discovery is on-going regarding additional statements, the contents of which are best
known by Dershowitz himself.
10. Describe in detail All facts Concerning the allegation in paragraph 20 of the Complaint
that Dershowitz's "statements were false and known by him to be false at the time they
were made."
ANSWER: See answers to Interrogatory Number 1 for illustrative examples of statements that
were part of the massive public media assault waged by Dershowitz against Edwards and
Cassell, as well as sources where additional statements can be found. As described above, these
statements were all false. With regard to Dershowitz's knowledge of the falsity of these
statements, Dershowitz knew (for example) that he had had sexual relations with Jane Doe No. 3
multiple times (in Florida, New York, and elsewhere) when he denied having such relations with
her. Dershowitz had also seen numerous underage girls while with Jeffrey Epstein, and had
otherwise seen or been made aware of sexual abuse of those girls by Epstein and
others. Dershowitz also knew that Edwards and Cassell had conducted a significant
investigation into the allegations. Dershowitz also knew that other witnesses had either invoked
the fifth amendment when asked about him or had put him at or near the scene of the crimes
committed by Epstein against minors. Dershowitz also knew of the truth of many of the
statements of Jane Doe No. 3.
Dershowitz also knew that Edwards and Cassell had not
conspired with Jane Doe No. 3. to fabricate charges against him — and that he had no evidence of
such conspiracy or fabrication by them. See Answers to Requests for Production of Documents
No. 2 for additional evidence on these points, which show (along with other evidence) that
Dershowitz had knowledge that his statements were false.
11. Describe in detail All facts Concerning the allegation in paragraph 21 of the Complaint
that Dershowiti falsely protested his own innocence.
ANSWER: See answers to interrogatories numbers 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 above, as well as the
documents and other materials and references provided in answer to Request for Production
Number 2.
12. Describe in detail All facts Concerning Dershowitz's alleged "involvement in Epstein's
criminal conduct" as alleged in paragraph 21 of the Complaint.
ANSWER: See answer to interrogatory number 5 above and documents provided in request for
production number 2.
14
EFTA00608914
13. Describe in detail Each instance in which Jane Doe #3 has provided information
referencing Dershowitz by name that Concern the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 24-31
of the 2015 Jane Doe #3 Declaration.
ANSWER: Edwards and Cassell lack sufficient information to determine all circumstances in
which Jane Doe No. 3 has mentioned to others Dershowitz's name as someone who abused her
or had information relevant to abuse.
With regard to when she has provided information related to this subject to them, Jane Doe No. 3
provided such information in telephone calls with Brad Edwards beginning in 2011.
Jane Doe No. 3 has also provided this information in a public affidavit, filed on January 21,
2015, in the CVRA case. Jane Doe No. 3 has also provided similar information on other
occasions, but the specifics of those communications are protected by the attorney-client
privilege and the work product doctrine.
14. If You have ever seen a photograph or video of Jane Doe #3 with Dershowitz, then state
when You saw the photograph or video, identify who took the original photograph
or video, identify Each person who possesses a copy of the photograph or video, and state
the location of Each such original and copy.
ANSWER: Edwards and Cassell have not personally seen such a photograph or
video. Discovery efforts to obtain photographic materials regarding Jane Doe No. 3 held by the
U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida and/or other federal law enforcement
and prosecuting agencies are on-going.
15. For Each communication between You or anyone acting on Your behalf, and anyone
from, or acting on behalf of, any media outlet Concerning this action, the Joinder Motion,
or Dershowitz, and regardless of whether such communication was "on the record" or "off
the record," (a) state the date of the communication; (b) state the participants in the
communication; and (c) describe the contents of the communication.
ANSWER: Objection, not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence;
vague, harassing, work-product
16. Describe in detail All facts Concerning any assertion that Dershowitz was
a "coconspirator" with Epstein.
ANSWER: See answers to interrogatory number 5 above, as well as answers to interrogatories
numbers 1, 6, 8, 9, 10 above. In addition, factual information is found in the documents and
other materials and references provided in answer to Request for Production Number 2
15
EFTA00608915
Dershowitz knew of and participated in Epstein's scheme to commit sexual offenses against
minors — including Jane Doe No. 3 -- and to cover up those offenses, including providing
knowingly false information to law enforcement to conceal these crimes and a false affidavit on
Jan. 5, 2015. These actions violated federal and state criminal statutes, including 18 U.S.C. §
2423(b); 18 U.S.C. § 2422; 18 U.S.C. § 2241(c); 18 U.S.C. § 1591; as well as federal and state
prohibition against conspiring to violate these statutes or statutes like them, including 18 U.S.C.
§ 371; and 18 U.S.C. § 2423(e).
17. Describe in detail All facts Concerning any assertion that Dershowitz negotiated the
NPA for his own benefit.
ANSWER: The fact that the NPA benefits Dershowitz by blocking his prosecution, in the
Southern District of Florida, for his crimes against minor girls does not appear to be
disputed.
See NPA at 5 (barring prosecution of any "potential co-conspirator of
Epstein"). Many of the facts surrounding the negotiation of the NPA are revealed in
correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein legal defense team (which included Dershowitz) and
prosecutors the U.S. Department of Justice, including the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern
District of Florida. That correspondence is well known and available to Dershowitz. Edwards
and Cassell rely on that correspondence in answer to this interrogatory. But disclosure of the
specifics of that correspondence is currently barred by a confidentiality order entered in the
CVRA case.
Dershowitz has also claimed repeatedly in the media and (on information and belief) elsewhere
that he obtained a very favorable deal for Jeffrey Epstein during plea discussions. Dershowitz
has also suggested that he was the lead attorney on the defense team. In light of his willingness
to take credit for the arrangement, it appears reasonable to conclude that he was involved in
negotiating the unique co-conspirator arrangement. Further discovery on these issues is on-
going. Of course, Dershowitz is in a position to shed light on this subject by revealing all of the
negotiations concerning the NPA.
18. Describe in detail All facts Concerning any actions allegedly taken by Prince Andrew,
Duke of York to influence the terms of the NPA.
ANSWER: Objection, this seeks information not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery
of admissible evidence in this defamation action.
Discovery on this subject is on-going not only in this case, but also in the CVRA case. In the
CVRA case, Jane Does No. 1 and 2 (and, if permitted to join the action, Jane Does No. 3 and 4)
have a pending discovery request for materials connected with Prince Andrew. On December 1,
2011, Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 propounded a Request for Admission (RFA) asking
the Government to admit that it possesses "documents, correspondence or other information
reflecting contacts with the Department between May 2007 and September 2008 on behalf of
Jeffrey Epstein by . . . (b) Andrew Albert Christian Edward (a/k/a Prince Andrew, Duke of
York); (c) Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz." While the Government denied that it had
16
EFTA00608916
documents reflecting contacts by Prince Andrew, it specifically admitted possessing documents
reflecting contacts by Dershowitz. Gov't Answer to RFA #6. Since then, however, the
Government has provided approximately 10,000 pages of documents associated with the
NPA and Jeffrey Epstein to Judge Marra for in camera inspection. The privilege log for those
documents is not sufficiently complete to review those documents for possible connection to
Prince Andrew. In addition, even though the Government has had approximately one-and-half-
years to complete production of documents, it has not yet completed production — and has not yet
certified that it has produced all such documents to the Court for in camera inspection.
Edwards and Cassell are aware that on about May 3 through 8, 2007, Prince Andrew's mother --
Queen Elizabeth II - visited the United States, and was apparently hosted by President George
W. Bush. Who came with the Queen and what (if any) discussions were held about the case,
either directly or indirectly at that time, are unknown at this time. Of course, the NPA was
concluded several months later on favorable terms, including the highly unusual "blank check"
provision that provided immunity from federal prosecution to Epstein's "potential co-
conspirators."
Edwards and Cassell are also aware Prince Andrew was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein at the
time that the NPA was being negotiated, and that Jeffrey Epstein hired a battery of attorneys to
negotiate favorable terms for the NPA (including Dershowitz). Based on all of the information
found in the documents and other materials and references provided in answer to Request for
Production Number 2, it also appears that Epstein was gathering blackmail material on his
powerful friends (through Jane Doe No. 3 and others), including Prince Andrew. Details of
contacts between Epstein and Prince Andrew while the NPA was being negotiated are accessible
to Dershowitz (as a close personal friend and confidante of Epstein's), but are not (at this time)
accessible to Edwards and Cassell. Both Epstein and Prince Andrew have refused repeated
efforts by legal counsel for various victims who have attempted to obtain information on this
subject. Efforts to obtain further information from Prince Andrew on these subjects are on-
going.
19. Describe in detail any actual or potential book, television, movie, or other media desks)
Concerning Jane Doe #3's allegations about being a sex slave.
ANSWER: Objection; vague, irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence. Construing the term "deal" as a paid media appearance, no deal
exists. With regard to "potential" deal, the term "potential" is vague and impossible to respond
to with precision.
20. State the date when You first became aware of any allegation by Jane Doe #3 that she
has had sex with Dershowitz and describe in detail All actions You took, including All
documents reviewed and All persons with whom You communicated and the dates and
contents of those communications, to determine if the allegation was true.
17
EFTA00608917
ANSWER: Edwards and Cassell were aware that Dershowitz was a close personal friend and
confidant of Jeffrey Epstein in approximately 2008 and read whatever public articles were
available. Edwards and Cassell also had extensive evidence that Epstein was involved in
brazen daily sexual crimes against underage girls in 2008 and following, as shown in the
documents and other materials and references provided in answer to Request for Production
Number 2. Those brazen sexual crimes often involved Epstein's friends and confidants. Those
crimes were also conducted with such frequency and in such a way that it would have been
extremely unlikely for someone staying overnight with Epstein (or traveling on his personal jet)
to have been unaware of those crimes.
Extensive discovery was taken in the civil cases against Mr. Epstein, and Dershowitz was
mentioned by several witnesses as being a friend, as opposed to just a lawyer to Epstein, he was
on the private plane of Mr. Epstein numerous times, and each witness who would have actual
knowledge of Mr. Dershowitz's involvement either invoked the 5th amendment when asked
about Dershowitz or provided testimony consistent with Dershowitz's criminal knowledge or
involvement.
In about March or April 2011, on a telephone interview with Edwards, Jane Doe No. 3 disclosed
that she had been sexually abused by Dershowitz.
It is public record that the materials that
Edwards and Cassell reviewed and collected in connection with related investigations include the
extensive materials provided in answer to Request for Production Number 2.
21. Describe in detail All facts Concerning any investigation by You or on Your behalf of
Jane Doe #3.
ANSWER: Except to the extent disclosed in materials provided in response to Request to
Produce, Plaintiffs object based on the attorney-client and work product privileges.
22. Are You aware whether Jane Doe #3 ever give her body for sexual activity for hire or
ever agreed to secure other persons for the purpose of prostitution or for any other lewd or
indecent act and, if so, state Your knowledge as to when and how many times.
We am aware of Mr. Epstein paying Doe #3 for sex, the details of which are disclosed in the
filed affidavit of Jane Doe#3. Mr. Dershowitz undoubtedly knows these details much more
intimately, and we expect him to provide those details consistent with his statement that he has
"nothing to hide."
23. Describe in detail All harm that You suffered as a result of any allegedly defamatory
statements by Dershowitz.
ANSWER: Edwards and Cassell have suffered defamation per se, as the defamatory statements
were intended to and did injure Edwards' and Cassell'sprofessional reputations. Their injuries
are ongoing and continuing in nature.
18
EFTA00608918
Edwards and Cassell also suffered presumed damages.
Cassell suffered general damages and special damages. These damages include mental pain and
anguish and suffering, personal humiliation, damage to reputation both past and future, and
impairment of ability to earn a living or seek better employment. These damages also include
lost income past and future and lost earning capacity, including lost opportunities for legal
consulting and paid expert witness testimony.
Edwards and Cassell have also incurred costs and attorneys' fees associated with efforts to
protect his reputation from ongoing assaults including the prosecution of this cause of
action. The amount of those costs and attorneys' fees is increasing as the action progresses.
Edwards and Cassell seek recovery for all of the damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. They also
seek pre- and post-judgment interest.
24. State separately the amount of compensatory, punitive, and any other damages
that You are seeking from Dershowitz and explain how You calculate Each
amount reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
ANSWER: All damage amounts are presently unliquidated but are reasonably anticipated to
well exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars for each of the Plaintiffs. After presentation of the
facts to a jury of the circumstances of the defamatory statements and also of the net worth
of Dershowitz, the Plaintiffs will leave the determination of fair and reasonable compensation
and appropriate punitive damages in the sound and well-informed discretion of a jury.
For lost past and future income, Cassell is gathering the relevant information for an economic
damages expert to derive a calculation. It appears that the Cassell's income earned outside of his
employment as a law professor has fallen since Dershowitz began his media assault as
a direct result of that media assault and will remain at a depressed level in the future. A
calculation of the amount of loss will provided when an appropriate expert is retained and
advises as to the relevant materials needed for such a calculation. Damages for lost income and
lost earning capacity are alone expected to be several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
For punitive damages, the evidence at trial will demonstrate (among other things) that
Dershowitz acted deliberately, willfully, with actual malice, and with the specific intent to harm
Edwards and Cassell. Accordingly, under F.S.A. § 768.73, there is no cap on the amount of
punitive
damages
that
may
be
awarded.
Given (1) the flagrancy, deliberateness,
willfulness, egregiousness and reprehensibility of Dershowitz's attacks, (2) his repetition of the
attacks in numerous forums around the globe, (3) his significant wealth, (4) the need to punish
Dershowitz for his wrongful and outrageous conduct in the past; (5) the need to deter
Dershowitz and others ftom similar misconduct in the future, and (6) other related
19
EFTA00608919
factors punitive damages in the amount of millions of dollars may be appropriate and will not
unduly economically castigate or bankrupt Dershowitz.
Costs and attorneys' fees will be sought and calculated in the ordinary manner at the conclusion
of the proceedings. Pre- and post judgment interest will also be sought and calculated in the
ordinary manner at the conclusion of the proceedings.

ANSWERS TO DEFENDANT DERSHOWITZ'S FIRST SET OF DOCUMENT
Plaintiffs, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by and through their undersigned
attorneys and pursuant to Rule 1.350, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, hereby respond to
Defendant, Alan M. Dershowitz's, First Set of Document Requests dated February 11, 2015 to
Plaintiffs as follows:
All production materials as to which there is no objection are available for inspection and
copying at the offices of Plaintiffs' counsel as soon as the Defendant's past due production has
been made available to Plaintiffs.
1. All Documents Concerning the alleged "character assassination" referenced in
paragraph 8 of the Complaint.
See complaint from Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley J. Edwards. See also pleadings and
materials in the case file in this case.
All production materials as to which there is no objection are available for inspection and
copying at the offices of Plaintiffs' counsel as soon as the Defendant's past due production has

2. All Documents Concerning Dershowitz's alleged "participation in Epstein's
criminal conduct" referenced in paragraph 16 of the Complaint.
Edwards and Cassell object to this request as being vague, overbroad, and unreasonably
burdensome, as well as seeking irrelevant and inadmissible evidence and information not
EFTA00608924
Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
Case No.: CACE 15.000072
Answers To Defendant Dershowitz's First Set Of Document Requests
to Edwards and Cassell
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Edwards and Cassell have
collected documents pointing to Dershowitz's involvement in Epstein's sexual abuse of underage
girls over a nearly seven year period of time, including legal work that they did in connection
with the long-running case of Does v. United States, 9:08-cv-80736-KAM (S.D. Fla. filed July 7,
2008). They have also represented numerous victims in civil actions against Jeffrey Epstein,
which involved many pleadings which are public documents. Of course, these cases also
involved numerous attorney-client communications as well as materials covered by the work-
product doctrine.
Without waiving these objections, privileges, or other protections, Edwards and Cassell
produce the following attached materials.
On information and belief, Dershowitz also possesses significant information that is
responsive to this request - information that Edwards and Cassell have requested from
Dershowitz in their requests for production.
3. All Documents Concerning Dershowitz's alleged knowledge that the filing
referenced in paragraph 17 of the Complaint was "an entirely proper and well-founded
pleading."
See answer to request #2 above and to request #24 below.
4. All Documents Concerning the alleged "massive public media assault" referenced
in paragraph 17 of the Complaint.
For details regarding the massive public media assault, see Edwards' and Cassell's
answer to interrogatory #2. Because the media assault was conducted by Dershowitz himself
making statements to media sources of his choosing, Edwards and Cassell do not possess
documents concerning the assault.
5. All Documents Concerning the "multiple national televised interviews,"
"statements to and repeated by national and international print news sources" and
"various other forms nationally and internationally" alleged in paragraph 19 of the
Complaint.
For details regarding the interviews, statements, and other similar communications, see
Edwards' and Cassell's answer to interrogatory #2. Because the media assault was conducted by
Dershowitz himself making statements to the media, Edwards and Cassell do not possess
documents concerning the interviews and statements referenced here.

20. All Documents Concerning any press release Concerning this action, the Joinder
Motion, or Dershowitz, or Jane Doe #3.
Objection as to "all documents concerning" in that it requests information not reasonably
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence; attorney-client privilege, work-
product doctrine, overly burdensome, vague, harassing.
Without waiving objection, Dershowitz already possesses a copy of a press release sent to
the media by Edwards and Cassell on or about January 2, 2015, that read as follows:
Out of respect for the court's desire to keep this case from being litigated
in the press, we are not going to respond at this time to specific claims of
indignation by anyone. As you may know, we are litigating a very important case,
not only for our clients but crime victims in general. We have been informed of
Mr. Dershowitz's threats based on the factual allegations we have made in our
recent filing. We carefully investigate all of the allegations in our pleadings
before presenting them. We have also tried to depose Mr. Dershowitz on these
subjects, although he has avoided those deposition requests. Nevertheless, we
would be pleased to consider any sworn testimony and documentary evidence Mr.
Dershowitz would like to provide which he contends would refute any of our
allegations.
The point of the pleading was only to join two of our clients in the case
that is currently being litigated, and while we expected an agreement from the
Government on that point, we did not get it. That disagreement compelled us to
file our motion. We intend only to litigate the relevant issues in Court and not to
play into any sideshow. We feel that is in our clients' best interest and
consequently that is what we are doing.
We have every intention of addressing all of the relevant issues in the
course of proper legal proceedings. Toward that end we have issued an invitation
(a copy of which is attached below) to Alan Dershowitz to provide sworn
testimony and any evidence he may choose to make available regarding the facts
in our recent pleading that relate to him. The invitation has been extended by Jack
Scarola, who is familiar with the issues. We would obviously welcome the same
cooperation from Prince Andrew should he choose to avail himself of the same
opportunity.

Answers To Defendant Dershowitz's First Set Of Document Requests
to Edwards and Cassell
Dershowitz already possesses a copy a press release sent to the media by Jack Scarola on
or about January 7, 2015, that read as follows:
Mr. Dershowitz harshly attacks Mr. Edwards and Professor Cassell for not
trying to talk to him before naming him in legal papers. But, in truth, and as
supported by numerous documents, on at least three occasions since 2009, Mr.
Dershowitz was informed that he was a key witness in the litigation against
Jeffrey Epstein and was requested to testify. We advised him at that time as
follows:
`Multiple individuals have placed you in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein
on multiple occasions and in various locations when Jeffrey Epstein was
in the company of underage females subsequently identified as victims of
Mr. Epstein's criminal molestation. This information is derived from both
someone's testimony and private interviews. Your personal observations
regarding such circumstances would clearly not involve any privileged
communications, and it is those observations that will be the primary focus
of our questioning.'
Despite this notice to Mr. Dershowitz, he failed to respond or testify in any
fashion. Mr. Dershowitz has not responded to multiple efforts to take his
testimony beginning in 2009.
21. All Documents Concerning any assertion that Dershowitz was a "co-
conspirator" with Epstein.
Edwards and Cassell object to this request as vague, uncertain, and overbroad.
See also answer to request #2 above and to request #24 below.

22. All Documents Concerning any assertion that Dershowitz negotiated the NPA

responsive to this request as well. See Plaintiffs' Third Request to Produce to Defendant Nos. 2,
3, and 4.
Edwards and Cassell also have received from the U.S. Attorney's Office from the
Southern District of Florida approximately 1000 pages of correspondence between that Office
and Jeffrey Epstein's legal defense team (including Dershowitz) exchanged from approximately
2006 to 2008 related to the non-prosecution agreement. Those documents are currently under
seal by order of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in connection with the
Does v. United States, No. 9:08-cv-80736-KAM. This seal has been requested by, and obtained
by, Dershowitz's close friend, client and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, over the objection of
Edwards and Cassell on behalf of their clients. Accordingly, Dershowitz should request that
Epstein withdraw his request for sealing so that these materials can be produced to Dershowitz.
See also answer to request #2 above (including the NPA itself and its provision granting
immunity from prosecution to "any potential co-conspirators of Epstein") and to request #24
below.
23. All Documents Concerning any actions allegedly taken by Prince Andrew, Duke
of York, to influence the terms of the NPA.
Edwards and Cassell have attempted to question Prince Andrew about his actions in this
regard, but have been rebuffed by Prince Andrew and representatives of the British throne and/or
government.
All production materials as to which there is no objection are available for inspection and
copying at the offices of Plaintiffs' counsel as soon as the Defendant's past due production has
been made available to Plaintiffs.
Edwards and Cassell have propounded discovery requests seeking such documents in the
CVRA case. See Request for Admission (RFA) (December 1, 2011) (asking the Government to
admit that it possesses "documents, correspondence or other information reflecting contacts with
the Department between May 2007 and September 2008 on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein by . . . (b)

See response to RFP #20.
Dershowitz already has in his possession a request from Jack Scarola to take his
deposition, sent via email on January 3, 2015, which reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Dershowitz:
Statements attributed to you in the public media express a willingness,
indeed a strong desire, to submit to questioning under oath regarding your alleged
knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's extensive abuse of underage females as well as
your alleged personal participation in those activities. As I am sure you will
recall, our efforts to arrange such a deposition previously were unsuccessful, so
we welcome your change of heart. Perhaps a convenient time would be in
connection with your scheduled appearance in Miami on January 19. I assume a
subpoena will not be necessary since the deposition will be taken pursuant to your
request, but please let us know promptly if that assumption is inaccurate. Also,
note that the deposition will be video recorded.
Kindly bring with you all documentary and electronic evidence which you
believe tends to refute the factual allegations made concerning you in the recent
CVRA proceeding as well as passport pages reflecting your travels during the past
ten years and copies of all photographs taken while you were a traveling
companion or house guest of Jeffrey Epstein's.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jack Scarola

No diary or journal is in the possession of Edwards and Cassell.
Beyond that and to the extent that the request for documents "concerning" an unspecified diary
or journal, Edwards and Cassell object to this request because it is uncertain and overbroad,
seeks irrelevant and inadmissible information and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of relevant and admissible evidence. Edwards and Cassell also object to this request
because it seeks information that is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege.

SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWERS TO DEFENDANT DERSHOWITZ'S FIRST SET OF
Plaintiffs, Bradley J. Edwards and Paul G. Cassell, by and through their undersigned
attorneys and pursuant to Rule 1.350, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, hereby file this
supplemental response to Defendant, Alan M. Dershowitz's, First Set of Document Requests
dated February 11, 2015 to Plaintiffs as follows:
All production materials as to which there is no objection are available for inspection and
copying at the offices of Plaintiffs' counsel as soon as the Defendant's past due production has
been made available to Plaintiffs.
1. All Documents Concerning the alleged "character assassination" referenced in
paragraph 8 of the Complaint.
See complaint from Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley J. Edwards. See also pleadings and
response to Interrogatory #1 filed in this case. Plaintiffs have requested documents in the
possession of Defendant Dershowitz which memorialize his character assassination of Plaintiffs.
Numerous documents within the Defendant's still incomplete production reflect false and
defamatory assaults on the Plaintiffs' character by the Defendant.
2. All Documents Concerning Dershowitz's alleged "participation in Epstein's
criminal conduct" referenced in paragraph 16 of the Complaint.
Edwards and Cassell object to this request as being vague, overbroad, and unreasonably
burdensome, as well as seeking irrelevant and inadmissible evidence and information not
reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Edwards and Cassell have
collected many pages of documents pointing to Dershowitz's involvement in Epstein's sexual

in paragraph 17 of the Complaint.
For details regarding the massive public media assault, see Edwards' and Cassell's

himself making statements to media sources of his choosing, Edwards and Cassell do not possess
documents concerning the assault.

"statements to and repeated by national and international print news sources" and
"various other forms nationally and internationally" alleged in paragraph 19 of the
Complaint.
For details regarding the interviews, statements, and other similar communications, see

conducted by Dershowitz himself making statements to the media, Edwards and Cassell do not
possess documents concerning the interviews and statements referenced here.

by, Dershowitz's close friend, client and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, over the objection of
Edwards and Cassell on behalf of their clients. Accordingly, Dershowitz should request that
Epstein withdraw his request for sealing so that these materials can be produced to Dershowitz.
See also answer to request #2 above (including the NPA itself and its provision granting
immunity from prosecution to "any potential co-conspirators of Epstein") and to request #24
below.
23. All Documents Concerning any actions allegedly taken by Prince Andrew, Duke
of York, to influence the terms of the NPA.
Edwards and Cassell have attempted to question Prince Andrew about his actions in this
regard, but have been rebuffed by Prince Andrew and representatives of the British throne and/or
government.
All production materials as to which there is no objection are available for inspection and
copying at the offices of Plaintiffs' counsel as soon as the Defendant's past due production has
been made available to Plaintiffs.
Edwards and Cassell have propounded discovery requests seeking such documents in the
CVRA case. See Request for Admission (RFA) (December 1, 2011) (asking the Government to
admit that it possesses "documents, correspondence or other information reflecting contacts with
the Department between May 2007 and September 2008 on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein by . . . (b)
Andrew Albert Christian Edward (a/k/a Prince Andrew, Duke of York".)
See also Answer to Request #2 above.

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz
Case No.: CACE 15.000072
Supplemental Answers To Defendant Dershowitz's First Set Of Document Requests
to Edwards and Cassell
Dershowitz already has in his possession a request from Jack Scarola to take his
deposition, sent via email on January 3, 2015, which reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Dershowitz:
Statements attributed to you in the public media express a willingness.
indeed a strong desire, to submit to questioning under oath regarding your alleged
knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's extensive abuse of underage females as well as
your alleged personal participation in those activities. As I am sure you will
recall, our efforts to arrange such a deposition previously were unsuccessful, so
we welcome your change of heart. Perhaps a convenient time would be in
connection with your scheduled appearance in Miami on January 19. I assume a
subpoena will not be necessary since the deposition will be taken pursuant to your
request, but please let us know promptly if that assumption is inaccurate. Also,
note that the deposition will be video recorded.
Kindly bring with you all documentary and electronic evidence which you
believe tends to refute the factual allegations made concerning you in the recent
CVRA proceeding as well as passport pages reflecting your travels during the past
ten years and copies of all photographs taken while you were a traveling
companion or house guest of Jeffrey Epstein's.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jack Scarola
25. All Documents Concerning any investigation of Dershowitz.
This request is vague and overbroad, since it is not clear exactly what the term
"investigation" means in this context.
Without waiving this objection:

discovery of relevant and admissible evidence. Edwards and Cassell also object to this request
because it seeks information that is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege.
