It is not clear in the motion... but I assume that the Deposition did eventually proceed.. and was video taped.

===============respectfully snipped================

Ummm, maybe he wanted to hide the fact that Ms. Sybrina was going to sit beside DeeDee again. For moral support in the face of aggressive whiteys and stuff. And 'cos the pore chile wuz scare uh da camera.

I'm curious, tho. In a case like this, where (a) the persecution has been clearly advised in advance as to how the depo will proceed, and (b) the defense can show legal references confirming that such procedure is fully legal (and possibly even standard practice?), and (c) the defense is willing to cease and desist from recording if the court so rules and to destroy whatever has been recorded at that point...and yet still the persecutors argue that the video recording can't go ahead even tho they fail to provide any justification (legal or even moral) for their stance...what would happen if MOM just said, "Look, sonny, sit down and shut up. You've wasted enough of my time and GZ's money. We're just gonna go ahead with the depo and roll the camera, and if the judge don't like it, we'll hand the recording over to her. End of story."

What would/could BDLR have done?

I am making my assumption because they are filling for costs.
IF Nelson had backed Bernie and agreed "No Video of Minor Chile adopted by an officer of Da Court" then MOM would not be filing for expenses??

I really don't understand why BDLR had a problem with this.

Maybe it is yet to be revealed that W8 is not a real human person but is a ventriloquist's dummy which sits upon the lap of Sybrina Fulton. Sybrina has to be there or else the dummy's mouth won't move and no sound comes out. Actual name of the dummy is "Cupcake".

Defendant seems to also suggest that the discovery of some contradictory statements by
Witness 8 somehow gives rise to the right to depose opposing counsel.

I think this is Blackwell's response to the defense's Motion to Reconsider Grilling the Chumpster: http://tmwarriors.files.wordpress.com/2 ... ration.pdf

(and I got this from a post by a Trayvon apologist, so at least they are good for something... )

A video deposition recording is immediately available, unlike an ordinary deposition in which a reporter must produce a transcript, tender the transcript for review and correction or execution by the deponent. If BDLR didn't put W8 on the final witness list, an ordinary deposition transcript might never be generated or filed with the court and might never see the light of day.

the party seeking to take the deposition [must show] that (1) no other means exist to obtain the information than to depose the opposing counsel; (2) the information sought is relevant and non-privileged; and (3) the information is critical to the preparation of the case

Sit back and enjoy the youtube feature presentation starring Cupcake as Dee Dee.

I like it.
