1 the clock or anything, but let's get this moving along
2 so we can get your questions answered.
3 Q. I just need to make my record on that.
4 So we are going to put aside Virginia
5 Roberts.
6 A. Okay.
7 Q. And I'm not talking about attorneys here
8 talking about -- what I'm talking about is people who
9 could be witnesses, people who saw things, people did
10 things, heard things, people who have evidence that
11 would be admissible in court. Do you have that in mind?
12 A. Okay.
13 Q. As of December 30th, 2014, putting aside
14 Miss Roberts, as to whom you've refused to answer, had
15 anyone who fits that category of a person with personal
16 knowledge of admissible evidence told you that Alan
17 Dershowitz had abused any other minors?
18 MR. SCAROLA: I'm going to instruct you not
19 to answer that question on the basis of the
20 attorney/client and work product privileges.
21 MR. SIMPSON: The knowledge -- let me ask
22 this way.
23 MR. SCAROLA: Let me explain. It might be
24 helpful to you if I were to explain the basis of
25 my objection.
