118 1 have been, in my view, Mr. Dershowitz. 2 Q. At his deposition, he took the Fifth as to 3 everyone he was asked about; isn't that true? 4 A. I haven't looked at the depositions lately. 5 There were also variations in tactics that he used. I 6 recall for example, that sometimes when he was asked 7 about a person, even if he knew that person, he would 8 pretend not to know that person and try to communicate 9 that, you know, maybe he didn't know that person. 10 But he did he did have broad invocations of 11 the Fifth Amendment in his deposition. I certainly 12 wouldn't quarrel with you on that. 13 Q. And you understand or I believe this was in 14 your testimony that if a person takes the Fifth in 15 response to a question in a civil litigation, that 16 answer can be used against the person generally; is that 17 right? 18 A. Sure. Right. 19 Q. Are you aware of any authority whatsoever 20 that Person A taking the Fifth can be used as evidence 21 against Person B? 22 A. Yeah, we are sitting here in the -- let's 23 see, we are in Florida, in the 11th Circuit, and that 24 is -- there's 11th circuit case law that allows that to 25 happen.
