Podcasts about Deposition

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comPaul Bonacci actually won a million-dollar lawsuit against Lawrence 'Larry' King. In his deposition, he claimed that he was inducted into a government program called Project MONARCH where they purposely split his personality through trauma, Satanism, and abuse so he could be molded into a puppet for their schemes. If you are well researched in this area, you will understand that someone like Sirhan Sirhan, the man who they used as a patsy in the Kennedy assassination, was clearly under the effects of a similar program. MK Ultra splits a person's personality so they can be given orders and then never remember what happened. It's the perfect way for them to commit a crime. CIA psychologist actually admitted that they could "create" a long gunmen in six months in declassified documents. Paul Bonacci went into great detail during his deposition. He also claimed that there was high level Satanism in these projects including blowing the whistle about the Temple of Sett."MONARCH was a program that used children to make multiple personalities, for future use, as spies and as a way to take over the United States government.When I first got involved, I was mo**ested by an airman at an air force base involved in MONARCH. His job was to recruit kids from the local neighborhood who they could make disassociate by doing traumatic things to them at a very young age."This is where his personality split occurred, who he called Wesley."If one was captured...the person that was captured, would go into a personality that would have no useful information. To seem as if he was indeed crazy...."CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15% Code: 420CZTL METHELENE BLUE:https://cztl.bz?ref=2BzG1Free Shipping Code: IMAGINATIONSupport the show

Send us a textIn this episode, Scott and Chasity reunite in-studio after several remote recordings to discuss their recent activities and introduce a special panel discussion about the Scientific Advisory Work Group (SAW). Scott shares his excitement about getting accepted into OSU for a master's program, while the hosts debate the value of continuing education in fire investigation. They emphasize the importance of bachelor's degrees for investigators before diving into the main interview segment.The featured interview, recorded in Michigan, includes guest co-host Lauren Guber (a California Deputy Attorney General) along with Dr. Elizabeth Buck and Brian Fine (retired from the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office). They discuss SAW, a program that originated in Texas to improve fire investigation through peer review. The panel explains how investigators present cases to a diverse group of experts who then evaluate whether the investigation meets scientific standards. This constructive criticism helps investigators strengthen their reports and testimony, ultimately leading to more credible courtroom presentations. Brian shares how investigators initially dreaded these reviews but eventually began voluntarily submitting cases to showcase their improved work.The group discusses the challenges fire investigators face in court, particularly in Daubert states where scientific testimony is more strictly evaluated. Lauren explains how prosecutors must prove both that fire investigation expertise is needed and that the specific investigator is qualified to provide it. The panel emphasizes that maintaining credibility is crucial, as a poor performance in one case can follow investigators throughout their careers.Dr. Buck discusses efforts to expand the SAW program beyond Texas, having recently introduced it to Michigan with hopes of bringing it to California next. The episode concludes with the "Can You Use It in a Sentence?" segment featuring "hot gas layer" as the next term in their educational series, following previous explanations of "plume" and "ceiling jet." Scott and Chasity also address fan mail, including a question about Scott's recent court case and feedback about standardizing fire damage classification terminology.Thank you for listening!

Today's episode showcases four new deposition-related rulings, including one that makes a compelling case for using Rule 31 depositions by written questions; a second that underscores the need to proactively consider limiting deposition transcript distribution; a third that highlights rare exceptions to a party's right to attend depositions; and a fourth which reinforces the basic principle that deposition subpoenas duces tecum cannot be used to shorten Rule 34's 30-day document production timeline.

In this episode, Jim Garrity highlights three brand new deposition-related court rulings. The first presents the question of whether witnesses and their counsel can be prohibited from discussing the witnesses' testimony during recesses. The second addresses the propriety of asking foundational questions of privilege-bearing deponents to determine if the assertion of privilege is legitimate; the opinion explains what "foundational" questions are, gives examples, and details the procedure for deposing such witnesses and then presenting the issue to a court for decision. The third case in the spotlight highlights an avoidable problem when a lawyer seeks to depose an individual who has already testified in a 30(b)(6) capacity. Citations to the cases appear in today's show notes. Thanks for listening.SHOW NOTESVillareal v.

In her sworn deposition from 2016 (unsealed in 2020), Virginia Giuffre detailed how Ghislaine Maxwell recruited, groomed, and trafficked her into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation starting when she was 16. She testified that Maxwell approached her at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 under the pretense of offering her work as a masseuse for a wealthy benefactor. That “job” quickly evolved into sexual abuse. According to Giuffre, Maxwell took an active role in teaching her how to sexually service Epstein, including hands-on “training” sessions involving Maxwell herself. She stated that Maxwell instructed her to recruit other underage girls and was fully aware — and involved — in the trafficking scheme. Maxwell not only facilitated the abuse, Giuffre claimed, but also participated in it, organizing flights, outfits, and sex schedules for Epstein and his associates.Giuffre's deposition also included accusations that she was trafficked to powerful men at Maxwell's direction. She named Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Jean-Luc Brunel, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell, and Glenn Dubin among the men she was forced to have sex with — often in Epstein's residences or on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” Giuffre detailed incidents of sexual abuse at Epstein's private island (Little St. James), in Maxwell's London townhouse, and at Epstein's New York and Palm Beach homes. She described Maxwell's role as operational: coordinating travel, preparing the girls, dictating what to wear (often schoolgirl outfits), and ensuring silence through emotional manipulation and threats. Giuffre testified that Maxwell told her to be “grateful” and warned her that speaking out would have consequences — including death. Throughout the deposition, Giuffre emphasized that she was a minor being trafficked across state and international lines, and that Maxwell was not only aware but orchestrating every detail. Her statements were corroborated years later by other victims and led to Maxwell's 2021 conviction on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.to  contact me;bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:1090-32.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Jim Garrity spotlights a new ruling on a little-known but powerful tool: the use of depositions as affidavits. As Garrity discusses, a deposition does not need to meet the requirements of trial-oriented Fed. R. Civ. P. 32 (which requires a showing that the party against whom the deposition is offered had notice and a chance to examine the deposition) when it is offered in proceedings that allow testimony by affidavit, such as at summary judgment.SHOW NOTESSurety v. Co. v. Dwight A. Herald, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-00086-GNS-HBB, 2025 WL 627523 (W.D. Ky. Feb. 26, 2025) (deposition/examination under oath of witness taken in underlying state-court personal injury could be used in federal declaratory judgment actions at summary judgment time, as deposition meets form of affidavit)Diamonds Plus, Inc. v. Kolber, et al., 960 F. 2d 765 (8th Cir. 1992) (deposition need not be admissible at trial to be properly considered in opposition to motions for summary judgment; deposition inadmissible at trial because one of the defendants did not receive proper notice and did not attend the deposition was properly used to create issues of fact justifying denial of summary judgment)Hoover v. Switlik Parachute Co., 663 F.2d 964, 966-67 (9th Cir. 1981) (“Rule 56 ... plainly allows consideration of “affidavits” and we find nothing which requires that term to be construed within the limitations of Rule 32(a).”).First Gaston Bank of North Carolina v. City of Hickory, 691 S.E.2d 715 (Ct. App. N.C. 2010) (citing cases rejecting proposition that FRCP 32 limits use of depositions in proceedings where evidence in affidavit form is admissible; pointing out that to the extent a party objects that they didn't have an opportunity to cross-examine a witness whose deposition from some other cases being offered, “the same objection can frequently be made as to affidavits filed in connection with motions for summary judgment”)Tingey v. Radionics, 193 F. App'x 747, 765–66 (10th Cir. 2006) (reversing summary judgment where trial court, relying on FRCP 32, excluded from consideration in opposition to summary judgment a deposition that plaintiff took of physician in separate state proceeding, where defendant was not party to that proceeding and had not been given notice of deposition; depositions can be used as affidavits in proceedings where affidavits are admissible; to illustrate, “[p]arties may file affidavits in support of summary judgment without providing notice or an opportunity to cross-examine the affiant. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). The “remedy” for this non-confronted affidavit testimony is to file an opposing affidavit, not to complain that one was not present and permitted to cross-examine when the affidavit was signed. For this reason, the Ninth Circuit has permitted a party to introduce deposition testimony for summary judgment purposes against a party who was not present at the deposition, by construing the deposition as an affidavit. Hoover v. Switlik Parachute Co., 663 F.2d 964, 966–67 (9th Cir.1981)”)Nippon Credit Bank, Ltd. v. Matthews, 291 F.3d 738, 751 (11th Cir. 2002) (without analyzing scope and extent of application of FRCP 32, court broadly said that “Depositions are generally admissible provided that the party against whom they are admitted was present, represented, or reasonably noticed, Fed.R.Civ.P. 32(a), and are specifically allowed in consideration of summary judgment.

SummaryIn part two of this Q&A series, Zinda Law Group CEO and founder Jack Zinda answers your questions about trial vs. Settlement, budgeting & legal myths.Discussed in this Episode:Trial vs. settlement strategyBudgeting for growthBiggest legal mythTrial vs. Settlement Strategy“How do you decide when to push for trial versus taking a strong settlement offer?” -  Most offers never leave the table, so don't be afraid that the money will be reduced if you choose to go to trial. Be realistic and ask yourself if the initial offer is as much or more than a jury would award to your client. Would that amount of money make a meaningful difference in your client's life? If going to trial is something the client wants, make sure to explain the risks involved and additional case expenses that can be incurred. Budgeting for Growth“What percentage of my revenue should be reinvested into marketing and operations?”  - “First, you have to know where you're going if you're going to get there.” Jack lays out how Zinda Law makes marketing decisions and how you can decide what's best for you. If you're unsure how to make the numbers work, don't hesitate to ask someone or hire a professional to lay the map out for you. Biggest Legal Myth“What's the biggest misconception people have about personal injury law?”  - “What we do is easy.” If it were easy, everyone would do it. That's what makes personal injury lawyers so important. “What does working with clients in a personal injury case mean?” Jack talks about psychodramas and their importance to understanding the complexities of your client's life. “How much money do personal injury lawyers make?” Just because you see large numbers on billboards doesn't mean that that money gets paid out. A plaintiff lawyer can get a large verdict, but no actual dollar value is exchanged if the defendant can't pay it. You can reach Jack at:jack@zindalaw.com512-246-2224

In October 2023, during a deposition related to a civil lawsuit filed by Gabby Petito's parents, Christopher Laundrie recounted a distressing phone call from his son, Brian Laundrie, on August 29, 2021. In this call, Brian, sounding "very panicked," informed his father that "Gabby's gone" and requested assistance in obtaining a lawyer. Christopher noted that Brian was "very nervous and very scattered" during the conversation. Despite the alarming nature of the call, Christopher claimed he did not understand the implication that Gabby Petito was deceased. Following this conversation, the Laundries contacted their attorney, Steven Bertolino, and sent him $25,000 to retain a Wyoming-based lawyer for Brian. Roberta Laundrie, Brian's mother, mentioned in her deposition that she refrained from asking her son about Gabby's whereabouts, adhering to their attorney's advice. The Laundries did not reach out to Gabby's family or authorities after learning she was "gone," leading to allegations that they withheld critical information during the search for Gabby Petito.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gabby Petito lawsuit: Read the parents' depositions here | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In part one of a three episode series, Zinda Law Group CEO and founder, Jack Zinda answers your questions about managing your law firm. Discussed in this Episode:Scaling a firmFirm CultureLeadership skillsScaling a Firm“I've hit a plateau with my firm's growth. What strategies do you recommend to scale beyond the 7-figure mark?” -  The first question you need to ask yourself is “what number am I trying to get to? There are dozens of ways to scale a law firm but if you don't have a firm number or end goal, you won't be able to build a map to get there. Firm Culture“How do I build a culture where my team is as invested in the firm's success as I am?” - The short answer is: you can't. No one will be as invested as the founder and that is because of a myriad of reasons including the financial commitments and pressures to succeed. That being said, there are still ways to improve the level to which your team cares. Some questions to ask yourself are: What is it about your firm that makes you special? Do your employees enjoy their work? What are their struggles? Jack's final word of advice: “Don't have jerks at your company”.Leadership Skills“What's the #1 leadership skill that helped you grow your firm?” - Learning to communicate complicated messages in a simple way is the most effective way to keep your team motivated and moving forward. Before you can even do that you need to go back to the beginning and make sure that you have your map laid out and ready to be communicated. Resources:The E-Myth by Michael E.

In this episode, Zinda Law Group CEO and founder Jack Zinda discusses ways to maximize the value of your cases.Discussed in this Episode:Put enough resources on the casePhoto evidenceImages from the medical recordsMaster the medical terminology Slow down the timelineYou have to tell the client's storyPut Enough Resources on the CaseHow do you tell the story if you don't put the work in? Prioritizing time to understand nuances in the case can pay big dividends rather than rushing through things.Photo EvidenceWe humans are visual creatures, and because of that, a good photo can make a world of difference than just testimony or medical records.Images from the Medical RecordsWhen you get medical records, you also get MRI, CAT scans, etc. As we said above, photo evidence is crucial when swaying a jury's opinion on the accident. Master the Medical TerminologyThe defense will often try to downplay a diagnosis by labeling it something it isn't. If you don't have the knowledge to understand what that means, you might get blindsided and receive a smaller outcome. Slow Down the TimelineTo explain the suffering that your client faced or is still facing, it can be essential to get down to the minutia. If the accident ended in death, explain the pain and suffering that the person would have felt during their last moments. For those with life-altering injuries, break down what their day-to-day looks like and give them.You Have to Tell the Client's StoryMake it as personal as possible. Who is affected by the loss of this person? What is the quality of life for those who miss or rely on their loved ones? Painting an accurate picture of what life looks like now will further humanize the situation and give the jury more to latch on to.You can reach Jack at:jack@zindalaw.com512-246-2224

Today, Scott Schara gives an update on the wrongful death civil lawsuit (2023-CV-345) for his daughter, Grace.  Grace was 19 and had Down Syndrome.  She was medically murdered by medical staff at an Ascension Hospital.  The doctors ordered a medication combination that euthanized Grace - Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine; and put an illegal Do Not Resuscitate order on her chart. Scott is now releasing deposition transcripts and we discuss two clips today.  Scott also shares some of the highlights of his research into the medical-industrial complex.
