It's understandable why Daic and his partners in crime have refused to give their depositions. I've been to depositions and they are a free-fire range for both sides. Defendants can be asked ANYTHING (so can plaintiffs). Anything. Best childhood friend. Cheating on your taxes. Having an affair. The most willful, stubborn people will quickly break-down into a river of cold sweat and twitching, their hands trembling and their voices breaking despite having been "briefed" beforehand by their attornets. At one deposition I witnessed, the defendant was so bad and so incoherent that his insurance company ordered him to immediately settle or they would abandon him. Attorneys will demand that the question be stricken from the record while the attorney on the other side will enter into the transcript that the person being questioned refuses to answer the question. Then, there is perjury. If it is discovered that someone deposed lied, they are in very deep trouble. Deposition in our tort law is the great leveler and it is why most are reluctant to sue another in tort law. Both sides get deposed and since anything in their lives can be brought up, for the criminal or law-breaker, it is like opening a huge bag of old turds and being made to eat them, one at a time. Another reason why Daic is squirming so.
