Page 171 1 BY MR. KUVIN: 2 Q. Did you, in fact, conduct the interview on 3 that initial occasion? A. No, I did not. 5 Q. How come? 6 A. Because of the fact that she was a minor and I 7 was at the school. 1 wanted to inform her father or her 9 parents that I was going to be conducting an interview. 9 Q. Okay. Did she appear to you in a physical 10 or mental state capable of discussing anything with 11 you at that point based on just what you witnessed, 12 not what she may have said but just what you were 13 able to witness? 14 MR.

KUVIN: And if that's the standing for the objection, you can have a standing objection as to all of that And then what I would I like to know is with each individual question, if there is a way that I can fix the form of that question because of some reason that you think is objectionable, I would like to know that so Jean try to fix it MR. PIKE: Well, let me also say that the form elicits third-party testimony. Almost every one of your questions here today, every one of them elicit third-party testimony which is hearsay and opinion. And no, I will not agree, although I appreciate your offer to have a standing form objection, I think that each objection needs be to raised individually based upon the tenor and structure of your questions. Some of your questions I have not objected to form because the question is was there an investigation. Okay. I am not going to object to form. Page 172 1 MR. KUVIN: Hang on one second. Objection 2 to form to 'tell me about that"? 3 MR. PIKE: It's an investigation and jam 4 not going to waive anything I want to preserve. 5 MR. KUVIN: is there a particular form 6 that I can fix? 7 MR. PIKE: Quite frankly I am not quite sure you can fix any of this deposition today. 9 I believe that this deposition, once again, is 10 completely- 11 MR. KUVIN: • The question. 12 MR. PiKE: -- completely fruitless because 13 it is involving an investigation. None of it, 14 in my research or understanding is admissible 15 in the civil cases.' So, there are various 16 things that while your questions in and of 17 themselves may seem correct, the background in 18 which you're eliciting them from is not 19 admissible, so as a result it makes the 20 form incorrect. 21 MR. KUVIN: Let's do this then, why don't 22 we do a standing objection as to all questions 23. during the deposition as to the taking of 24 anything regarding statements, so that you 24 25 don't hannio2liec........a ct to every that I _,...a 25 a.

MR. KUVIN: All right. Les talk about this though for a minute because this is • important And I'm sorry for taking up your time, Detective, but these questions — THE WITNESS: No. MR. KUVIN: — involve my client= so any statements that she made to this Officer • are admissions by a party opponent obviously are admissions by a party. So the hearsay issue is frivolous. With respect to anything that she said to him is completely admissible in this proceeding and clearly what he witnessed is admissible because that is eyewitness. He witnessed it himself. So anything with respect to what he saw and what he witnessed, any objections regarding h .......2Ljarsa t abo that is comletel frivolous. 12 (Pages 171 to 174) PROSE COURT REPORTING AGENCY, :INC.

Page 1', Page 177 1 What I need to know is when' 2 questions specifically with respect 3 which I am about to do, I need to know ether 4 or not there is a particular objection to the 5 form of my question that is specific to that 6 question as opposed to the structure of the 7 deposition, which if you want to object 8 generally, then that's fine. I need to know 9 that because if I ask a question specific to my 10 client, l want to know if there is a way that 11 you feel that it needs to be fixed that I can 12 take care of and fix presently with Detective 13 Recarey in the room. 14 MR. PIKE: Okay. As to your statements 15 regarding the frivolous hearsay objections, you 16 seem to forget that this deposition has been 17 cross-noticed by several attorneys who are 18 sitting here today. So, as a result you're 19 taking this deposition, but this is a 20 cross-noticed deposition. And as a result I 21 have to maintain the form assertions as well as 22 various privileges for these other individuals 23 who are representing several other alleged 24 Plaintiffs in these cases. That's Number 1. 25 So, just because you're asking the Page 176 1 questions here today, Mr. Kuvin, maybe you 2 should talk to your co-counsel about 3 cross-noticing these depositions because maybe, 4 in fact, it is prejudicing your case. That's 5 Number I. 6 As Number 2, with regard to his eyewitness 7 accounts, whether or not he observed someone's 8 mental state or whether or not they were in a 9 specific state when he spoke to them, he is not 10 an expert. So, you andllcnow, you and I try 11 several cases, and we know good and well that 12 police officers are not‘xpcilb when it comes 13 to the psychological state and mental condition 14 - of a particular person on a particular time or 15 a particular day, how did they feel, how did 16 they look, you know, layperson observations. 17. But how did they feel, their mental state, I am 18 going to preserve the form. 19 MR. KUVIN: Okay. 20 MR. PIKE: Thanks. 21 BY MR. KUVIN: 22 Q.

Did she explain to you whether Mr. Epstein 24 touched her? 25 MR. PIKE: Form. Page 182 1. /vM. KUVIN: Actually double admission, so 2 it comes in. 3 MR. PIKE: Well, only now you bring up 4 another whole point which is why I keep 5 objecting to form, just so the record is clear 6 is only admissions against interest are 7 admissible, and you have been talking about 8 your client and other alleged victims. And I 9 haven't heard any admissions — or let me not 10 identify them — but I haven't heard you 11 specifically identify admissions against 12 interest to survive my form objection. So you 13 can proceed. 14 MR. KUVIN: It's actually a commonly 15 misinterpreted concept in the law. And it's 16 not admission against interest. It's actually 17 admission by a party opponent. Under the 18 Florida Rules it doesn't have to be against 19 interest, but we can research that later. 20 BY MR.

THE WITNESS: I can't recall without looking at the report MR. KUVIN: Take a look if you would. MR. PIKE: And just so we're clear, while Page 186 1 he is looking, the other issue I have is that a 2 lot of these questions, for instance the first 3 time, the second time, the third time, it deals 4 with not onlyIII but in some of your 5 questions these deal with other third parties 6 and there is no predicate or foundation having 7 been laid relative to the dates these 8 individuals actually or allegedly came to the 9 home. 10 So, then the follow-up question of how did 11 you determine how old they are, ! don't believe 12 the proper predicate is there. So, that's 13 another basis. I mean, you asked, right? 14 MR. EDWARDS: Predicate is there to 15 detennine her age at the time; is that what you 16 are saying? 17 MR. PIKE: Yes, proper predicate had not 18 been laid. 19 BY MR. KUVIN: 20 Q. All right. With respect to the second 21 time she went to the home, let's talk about that: 22 Did you determine how old she was the second time 23 she came to the home? 24 A.

It's all of them. 5 (A discussion was held off the record.) 6 BY MR. KUVIN: 7 Q. Ni going to show you a stack first and 8 then what I'll do is I'm not going to mark the 9 entire stack, but I will pull out individual ones so 10 I'll ask you about them.

PIKE: One second. I want that entire 19 document marked as an exhibit And it's clear 20 that the witness just refreshed his 21 recollection based upon your past questioning 22 regarding trash pulls and documents that were 23 allegedly taken from the home. 24 So, I want that entire — he has looked at 25 it. Ifs in his possession. I want the entire Page 192 1 document, put a clip on it and have the court 2 reporter mark it. 3 MR. EDWARDS: Are you talking about the 4 Page I that he looked at? 5 MR. PUCE: He didn't just look at Page 1. 6 You should ask him that. He's flipping through 7 the documents. 8 MR. EDWARDS: Every single page? We had 9 this discussion in your client's deposition as 10 well. 11 MR. PIKE: Yeah, that was my 12 attorney-client work product for that witness. 13 So I just want the document marked.

You can mark it as an exhibit. It has none of your attorney notes on it, none of your work product on it. It's been in the witness's possession, and as a result, I am entitled to it pursuant to the law. MIL KUVIN: This is Mike Pike on the law. MR. PUCE: Well, then this is what I am going to instruct you to do, preserve that document in whole. MR. KUVIN: Sure. MR. PIKE: Mark it as an exhibit in whole, preserve it Okay. MR. KUVIN: Why don't you just do a request to produce the phone logs if you don't have these already? MR. PIKE: Why should I wait 30 days for something? I don't know exactly what's in there, Mr. Kuvin. There could be -- I could have all of that in full. I 'could be missing one document I don't know what it is that you have. So, if you just want to move forward, you can move forward and you can mark the document, or I am going to move to strike because you haven't marked it as an exhibit. Page 194 MR.

KINN: Let me see if I can find that one. MR. PIKE: Form to that, the other question. MR. KUVIN: This one I will mark. MR. PIKE: Well, I just want it clear for the record that there is a difference between looking at a document and refreshing your recollection on a document. And it's clear under Florida Jur. So, what I would like you to do, Mr. ICuvin, before you categorize these documents, is I would like you to mark this document in full. You can keep it in your possession.

Otherwise you're going to, you're going 5 to kind of mess with the structure of the 6 document as the witness has utilized to refresh 7 his recollection. 8 MR. KUVIN: Okay.

But he is over here snickering, and I don't mention it every time he snickers at one of the sexual questions that I ask. MR. EDWARDS: I was laughing because I thought you were objecting to the witness's answer and he hadn't yet answered. I understand now.

KUVIN: Are you ready? 9 MR. PIKE: Let's go back on the record. 3.0 Mr. Kuvin, do you have any idea how much 11 longer? I am trying to get an idea as to 12 whether or not we want an opportunity to 13. question the witness today. And there are 14 other lawyers. I know Mr. Edwards wants an 15 opportunity to go after you, Pm sure. . 16 I don't know if Ms. Finnigan is going to 17 be asking questions or Ms. Arbour. 18 So, I would like to get an idea as to how 19 much time you have and then Mr. Edwards and 20 Ms. Finnigan and Ms. Arbour. 21 MR. KUVIN: I'm almost done. I'm going to 22. go through some of the messages and then I have 23 got some probation violation stuff I want to 24 talk about. So, once I am done with that, I 25 should be about done. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 200 And then I don't know, we can talk about this, whether or not you-all can go before the rest Of the Plaintiffs go. I don't know their feelings on that, but we'll leave it up to them. MR. PIKE: We're fine with letting them go. MR. EDWARDS: I am going to try to make this easy for you. I think we talked earlier that the deposition has to end today at 5. And given those parameters, there is no way that I can get through my questions. We're going to need a second day for this deposition anyway. I am assuming that it's because lit Weinberg is down from Massachusetts today and he wants to ask questions. I don't care what order I go in. So, if you want to ask questions next, that's perfectly fine with me. It doesn't really matter. Whatever is easiest. I am amenable to whatever your suggestion is. That really is fine. MR.

MR. KUVIN: It was actually a discussion with Kathy Ezell as to whether or not they would get to her, and that's where the discussion went MR. PIKE: I just want to make sure that discussion wasn't with me, because I am here for as long as it takes to get everyone done. But it's clear that I guess Ms. O'Connor and the witness need to be done at 5. So, 5 is 5. MR. EDWARDS: Right And given that it's already pretty late, I know that we're not going to get it done, so that's why — MR. PIKE: Understand. MR. EDWARDS: Do you want to ask questions, that's fine, whatever. MR. PIKE: Can I speak with my client for a minute? MR. EDWARDS: Let's take two minutes. MR. PIKE: Just while we're still on the record, Mr. Kuvin, you have agreed not necessarily today but with regard to the message pads, you have agreed to go ahead and Page 202 1 flip through them. I don't know — 2 MR. KUVIN: I have agreed, you're going to 3 get a copy of them all. 4 MR. PIKE: I am going to get a copy of 5 them all? 6 MR. KUVIN: Yes. 7 MR. PIKE: Thank you. 8 (A discussion was held off the record.) 9 MR. PIKE: We are going to go back on the 10 record. 11 MR. KUVIN: Okay. 12 MR. PIKE: We're going to just go ahead 13 and follow foam with regard to the Plaintiffs 14 finishing, and we'll come back later on. 15 MIL KUVIN: Okay. 16 MIL PIKE: That way you guys can keep that 17 order going. • ' 18 MIL KUVIN: All light.
