A. Yes, there was. Q. And -- A. This case was originally brought to their attention very early on in the investigation to which they were, you know, very gung-ho, very let's go, let's do this, up until, up until, up until the meeting with Alan Dershowitz and the State Attorney.

So, having said that... 1 Page 300 1 BY MR. EDWARDS: 2 Q. And can you recall what their position was 3 on the various acts that are related in the probable 4 . cause affidavit? And ultimately I am asking why is 5 it that they were not interested in hearing from all 6 of the girls and only a select few? 7 . MR. PIKE: Form and compound. 8 THE WITNESS: That's a question that . 9 you're going to have to ask Lonna Belohlavek 10 . because she was aware of all the people that I 11 submitted to her, and yet she choose three 12 people to appear before the grand jury, one 13 ;mowing that she was not going to be able to 14 15. 16'. 17. 18 19. 20 21 22 23 24 25 appear. .

Both the police officers and the victims 20 because I was getting phone calls from the victims' 21 parents as to what time are we needed. 22 Q. And when you say we were getting phone 23 calls front the victims' parents, are those the 24 victims that ultimately were listed as victims in 25 Cher in the plea that transpired? Page 309 1 A.

There is no state order. 18 (A discussion was held off the record.) 19 MR. PIKE: I can tell you this, at past 20 depositions that deal with witnesses such as 21 Detective Recarey or any other alleged 22 witnesses, despite whether or not a lawyer 23 represents one, two, or seven alleged 24 Plaintiffs, it is not appropriate to rehash 25 background information pursuant to the court's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ‘:) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 313 need a mini or any of that.

So hopefully we can all abide by that and concentrate on our individual and particular clients at those depositions. MR.
