I don't care to defend Law, he isn't competent for his job, but this is straining at a gnat to criticize him. If this is the biggest contradiction to his testimony the Boston papers can find then I'd suggest they've lost this battle.

If you want to know if he remembers this incident you have to ask that question. You can't ask the general question of when he first heard charges, as he probably doesn’t immediately recall when he first heard charges until you refresh his memory on it.

I have to do this in all my depositions. You first ask the general question, when did you first meet XYZ? They answer, well, I think that was at college in 1984. You then ask, didn’t you also go to the same High School? Answer: Oh yes, that’s right, we did. So I guess it would have been sometime around then, between 1978-82. If you don’t ask the specfic question your claim his testimony is deficient is extraordinarily weak.

I caught part of the deposition on TV. I believe this answer was to the question of whether, when he was in Mississipi he would have considered child sex abuse a crime. He answered, with much hemming and hawing, that at that time sexual abuse wasn't "even on his radar screen."

Kind of hard to track statements of the nature of "I don't recall," "That wouldn't have been my resposibllity," I don't know."
