[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They even said TS would not be deposed, and if so, it would not be a big deal at all. The whole “nothing to see here” notion.

Hmm..[/quote]

She hasn't been deposed and it sounds unlikely she will be.[/quote]

She will be, it’s the normal order to get documents from a witness and then after reviewing the documents produced, depose them.[/quote]

Most people who are served subpoenas for documents or communications are never deposed. And in a civil case, if a witness is resistant to deposition and contends they have nothing relevant to contribute, you would need to be able to prove that you have reason to believe the witness has info directly relevant to the case. What Baldoni has so far produced doesn't show that -- all he has is that in one occasion Swift has told him she liked the scene Blake allegedly wrote. If that's it, there is no way Swift will be deposed -- a deposition is expensive and time consuming for the witness, and judges don't let you just haul whoever you want in to question them.

Also keep in mind Swift is a billionaire and has access to great lawyers, and if she doesn't want to be deposed, they will fight very hard to prevent it.

I don't see it happening. She is, at best, tangentially related to this case.[/quote]

Disagree, I’ve never seen a witness with a documented connection to the case, via email/text here, successfully resist a deposition.  Like everything else, we’ll see.  [/quote]
