Hum ..would not those making the allegations have to provide the testimony and documentary evidence to support their allegations? It would be like someone accusing me of child molestation when I was a teenage babysitter back in the 1970s and rather than providing documentary evidence and witnesses other than the accuser as to my guilt, forcing me to provide documentary evidence and witnesses that proves I didnt do it.
As for Dershowitz not submitting to deposition requests, I dont blame him. No matter what you think of him personally he is a brilliant attorney and knows full well how those depositions work and the tactics used by the plaintiffs attorneys to get people to say things under heated and repeated questioning, not moderated by a judge, that can be twisted or taken out of context and used in court to make them look guilty, as hes probably used those very same tactics himself.
I agree with you about Dersh. I don’t like him, but I have a grudging respect for him.
