That's what they Jackson paper said was in the court doc. Limit questions, all questions in writing and to seal it.

I never heard of it but wasn't sure if it could happen. Most attorneys I know almost never see court room to start with.


because most attorneys try to settle cases outside the courtroom where they have more control over things. it is rarely in the best interests of the parties to have a third party, a judge, decide a case. regardless, a deposition is a sworn testimony outside of court. generally speaking, most anything said in depositions is inadmissible hearsay in court. it is used as a tool for gathering discovery in preparation for trial. objections are very limited. you can't object tom relevance or anything you may see objected at trial. you object to forms of questions but the questions are still answered after the objection. basically what attorneys are looking for is to get a party to admit to something they wouldn't intend to because statements against party interests can sometimes be used in court and you can also attack the credibility of a witness if they change their stories.

So his not trying to get out of it just making sure the questions are related to the case. What a horrific thing to do.


Well, looks like they will be questioning Matt Luke and assistant athletic director John Miller as well.

Considering the real or fake instagram fiasco from a couple of weeks ago....I don't blame Freeze for wanting the deposition sealed. No telling what Lindsay Miller's lawyer will try to drag out of those folks.

Ok so I have a question on this and maybe you can tell me what you think. The attorney I talked to said Ina deposition you can't be asked any question they want to ask you it has to be relevant to the case. Is that true? I just don't know.

eh, I mean more or less. But you have a lot of leeway to ask questions to get to the heart of whatever issue you want information on. That's why depositions take FOREVER. Depositions are boring as frick. Honestly, we use them more as a tool to settle a case more than anything

Yes. However, depositions are far more broad than that and since the father claims the fight started over Tunsil and agents/OM and that Tunsil/OM slandered him that opens up damn near anything they want to ask about the NCAA violations and so on. Basically, I'd be surprised if any of that can be restricted out because it's very much relevant to the case plaintiff's presenting.

As a result, Defendant Tunsil’s malicious statements, as repeated by Coach Freeze and others, caused irreparable damage to Mr. Miller’s reputation


What a shame, this guy had such a sterling reputation. He was convicted of domestic violence before he even met Tunsil's mom.

quote:

A motion for protective order filed by J. Cal Mayo Jr. and Kate Embry on Tuesday in Lafayette County Circuit Court requests that any possible deposition by Freeze would be conducted through written questions, would only relate to Freeze’s conversations with Tunsil regarding a possible altercation between Tunsil and Miller last summer, would only have parties and counsel related to the case in attendance and would be sealed pending court order.

We're done. It's over. Requesting that questions be relevant to the lawsuit is clearly a huge cover up.

All restrictions are allowed under Rule 26(d) of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure.

That's smart. Ole Miss doesn't want any loose lips during the deposition. Can't have Freeze/Luke/John Miller getting caught in a pickle and saying too much or their not coinciding with each other.

I can believe it. Most my attorney friend are in house, employment so it's all motions pretty much and some insurance defense. The one that works at the district attorney has the best stories of course.

From the other boards, I heard that the name of the judge is John Kelly Luther.

Looks like he got his undergraduate degree from Miss St. and got his J.D. from Ole Miss

Oh those anwsers will be on point I believe that. And they should be. Don't answer something you don't have to on record I don't care what it is.

Well if the questions can only come in written form then it would be easy to collaborate and prepare a vanilla response. If they are questioned in person and have to answer verbally then there's no telling what Freeze/Luke/Miller might say if they get blind sided by Lindsay Miller's attorney's. Ole Miss would have to seriously coach those guys before the deposition if it's done verbally and not in writing.

That's the biggest load of shite you are trying to serve up there.


The scope must be relevant to the case. The BS defamation case against Tunsil

No, it's related to the BS your coach spewed all over the place before he had all the facts about the Tunsil-Miller story. The beaver now wishes he kept his mouth shut back then.

Why the heck is a good Christian man afraid to speak the truth?!

NCAA violations are relevant to the lawsuit because that's what Miller alleges started the argument. One would assume that if there were no NCAA violations then Freeze would be perfectly willing, under oath, to say that. Instead he wants to either be excused or have the transcript sealed.

Pretty much the definition of a cover-up.

Then why is Freeze worried that information from the deposition could be obtained by the NCAA and used against him?
