He calls me.Mike Rezendes:So, you have testimony of a priest telling his superiors about Geoghan in '62?Mitchell Garabedian: No, I do not.

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.365
So you have testimony of a priest
00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:34.007
telling his superiors about Geoghan in '62
00:00:35.368 --> 00:00:36.869
No I do not
00:00:36.953 --> 00:00:39.539
Because when I called Benzevich in to give a deposition
00:00:39.705 --> 00:00:40.873
he comes in with a lawyer
00:00:41.707 --> 00:00:43.334
Wilson Rogers Right

And suddenly Father Benzevich
00:00:45.997 --> 00:00:46.295
has a very foggy memory
00:00:46.504 --> 00:00:48.464
Can't remember anything He's useless
00:00:48.631 --> 00:00:49.757
So I go back to work
00:00:49.841 --> 00:00:51.175
I forget about it Whatever
00:00:51.884 --> 00:00:53.719
Until about a year ago I find an article
00:00:53.803 --> 00:00:56.889
about a priest who warned church officials about Geoghan
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.225
Benzevich went to the press Yeah
00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:02.061
Yeah local paper Patriot Ledger Nobody saw it
00:01:02.228 --> 00:01:03.813
But now I got Benzevich on record
00:01:03.098 --> 00:01:07.233
So I file a motion to depose Benzevich a second time
00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:09.527
All right And Wilson Rogers
00:01:09.061 --> 00:01:11.154
that smug son of a bitch
00:01:11.999 --> 00:01:13.001
he files a motion opposing my motion
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:15.867
And that's when I have him
00:01:17.041 --> 00:01:18.578
Have him how
00:01:18.995 --> 00:01:20.538
Rogers opposes my motion
00:01:20.705 --> 00:01:21.998
so I have to make an argument
00:01:22.003 --> 00:01:23.124
as to why I'm allowed to depose
00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:25.002
Father Benzevich a second time okay
00:01:25.251 --> 00:01:27.092
But this time I'm allowed to attach exhibits
00:01:28.504 --> 00:01:29.664
Do you follow what I'm saying
00:01:30.214 --> 00:01:31.001
The sealed documents Yes
00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:33.759
I can attach the sealed documents
00:01:33.926 --> 00:01:35.928
that I've gotten in discovery Mr Rezendes
00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:39.001
the same documents that your paper is currently suing for
00:01:39.932 --> 00:01:41.142
You're shitting me
00:01:41.999 --> 00:01:43.102
What No No I'm not shitting you
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:46.105

00:01:46.999 --> 00:01:47.565
and I attach 'em to my motion
00:01:47.732 --> 00:01:49.001
And they prove everything Everything
00:01:49.999 --> 00:01:52.111

00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:53.946
And it's all public
00:01:54.238 --> 00:01:56.699
Because your motion to oppose Roger's motion
00:01:56.866 --> 00:01:58.999
is public Yeah exactly
00:01:58.999 --> 00:02:00.998
Now you're paying attention
00:02:00.244 --> 00:02:02.246
So I could just walk into that courthouse right now
00:02:02.413 --> 00:02:03.539
and get those documents
00:02:03.706 --> 00:02:05.374
No you cannot
