been prepared by the state's attorney's office but he didn't
know. So what happens then with this transcript is, there is
an attempt at a deposition of Ms. Hall in Miami, this summer,
and Ms. Hall comes in and she sits down, and she doesn't want
to answer any questions about anything, and she says, I don't
remember anything about any of this. Her lawyer says, she
doesn't remember anything about any of this and she spent the
last ten years forgetting about all of this and she's not going
to remember anything about this. Mr. Edwards then puts the
transcript in front of her and she doesn't look at it. She
doesn't even look at the transcript. She doesn't turn the
page. She doesn't read any of it. There's a question asked at
some point later: Isn't it true that everything you said in
the police department was true? And then shortly after that,
the deposition ends. And they're trying to say that that is a
sufficient factual basis and an evidentiary basis for the
admission of this transcript, which is, you know, unsponsored
hearsay.
There's a similar problem with this recording because
Ms. Hall never listened to the recording, never authenticated
the recording. And so there's no evidence whatsoever that it's
Ms. Hall's statement or that it was subject to any
cross-examination.
So to try to get around all of these evidentiary
problems, now what's being advanced by the plaintiffs is, well,
SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
