That deposition of GA is the most heartbreaking thing I've seen in a long time. Add to that its absurdity, since he and his wife have always said that this ZG doesn't match the description of the woman described to them by their daughter, that they and Casey have never accused this woman, all they know about this woman is what they've seen on TV.
Very few of the questions asked pertained to the defamation suit at all. I couldn't believe how often instead of asking questions, the lawyer was making long-winded statements on the video. At times it was impossible to even find a question in it all or understand what he was saying. I couldn't believe the extreme insensitivity of some of the questions, and he would asked them again and again, repeating the most upsetting details to GA, questions that had nothing whatsoever to do with defamation or this ZG. Even after they were answered he would ask the same questions again and again, up to four times. Not to mention how often he threatened Mr. Anthony with additional costs, etc, etc, on top of his visible anguish. Absolutely painful to watch.
And why do this? It's as if ZG's lawyers were trying to defend this woman against criminal charges regarding Caylee's disappearance or something, criminal charges that don't exist. They seemed to be basically trying to get the members of the A family to swear that this woman was not involved. The A's have no obligation to exempt or excuse this woman or swear to her innocence or help prove her innocence to charges that don't exist. They don't know if she was involved or not, they have no way of knowing, they only know that Casey didn't tell them it was this woman, her description of the woman is different, and they have never said it was this woman. That's what a defamation suit is about. This woman's name isn't even the same as ZFG.
Very, very sad is all I can say. It's a shame that depositions can be stretched this far.
This was the point of the deposition and ZG IS trying to avoid future doubts about her being involved or possible future criminal charges. KC refused to sign a document saying this woman was NOT the ZFG she was referring to, which leaves her as a possible suspect open to be used in the trial to offer resonable doubt.
The format of DEPOSITIONS are any question can be asked that can possibly lead to other information directly related to the suit.
If your name was used in the media over an over and if people were going on your MS and threatening you and the prime suspect has refused to CLEAR YOU - wouldn't you do the same?
Or would you stand by and watch the trial unfold with you as the a possible suspect?
