Case No.: CACE 15-000072
Edwards and Cassells Response to Dershowitz's Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records
Page 15 of 20
Similarly, Dershowitz appeared on NBC’s Today Show the morning after Edwards and
Cassell made a filing for Ms. Giuffre, to say that the Edwards and Cassell — and Ms. Giuffre —
were all “lying” in the court documents:
Question from Savannah Guthrie: Jn legal papers from the lawyers, they say you’ve
had, in fact, the opportunity to be deposed.
Answer from Alan Dershowitz: They’re lying. They’re lying.
Question: They show letters in which they offered to depose you.
Answer: And they didn’t show my letters in response saying, (a), if you ask me about
my legal relationship with Epstein and I’ll be happy to answer. .. . And I responded
that I would be happy to be deposed if you could give me any indication that I would
be a relevant witness .... They will be proved — all of them [i.e., Cassell, Edwards,
and Ms. Giuffre] — to be categorically lying and making up this story. And it will bea
terrible thing for rape victims. ... We [Epstein and Dershowitz] had an academic
relationship. I was never in the presence of a single, young, underaged
woman. When I was with him, it was with prominent scientists, prominent
academics. And they’re just — again — lying about this. I never saw him doing
anything improper. I was not a participant. I was not a witness.

As another example, in Miami Herald, Dershowitz called the Joinder Motion that he
seeks to have sealed “the sleaziest Jegal document1 have ever seen. They [Edwards and
Cassell] manipulated a young, suggestible woman who was interested in money. This is a
disbarrable offense, and they will be disbarred. They will rue the day they ever made this false
charge against me” — i.e., Edwards and Cassell will “rue the day” they ever filed the Joinder
Motion. Miami Herald (Jan. 3, 2015).
