3 MR. BOYLE: YOUR HONOR, I ' M NOT CHANGI NG THE

6 ADDI TI ONAL POI NT ABOUT WHY WE SHOULDN' T HAVE TO BE
7 STUCK WI TH THE DEPOSI TI ON BECAUSE THEY WERE GOI NG TO

17 TODAY, AND I T - - THAT WAS I N ADDI TI ON TO WHAT WE HEARD
18 A WEEK AND A HALF AGO.
19 MR. PANI SH: THEY PLAYED I T.
20 THE COURT: I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I T WAS
21 DESI GNATI ONS AND COUNTER DESI GNATI ONS. SO I WANT TO

24 MR. BOYLE: HE' S GOI NG TO CLARI FY CERTAI N
25 THI NGS.
26 THE COURT: BE SPECI FI C.
27 MR. BOYLE: I AM.
28 ABOUT DOCTOR SHOPPI NG, FOR EXAMPLE. I N THE
866 299-5127
16924
1 DEPOSI TI ON, HE WAS - -
2 THE COURT: HE DI D REFER TO THAT.
3 MR. BOYLE: AND VARI OUS DOCTORS WERE LI STED, HE
4 WAS ASKED I F HE KNEWVARI OUS DOCTORS, I NSI NUATI NG TO
5 HI M THAT THESE WERE DOCTORS THAT TREATED
6 MI CHAEL J ACKSON. FOR EXAMPLE, DR. SLAVI T.
7 WHEN - - WHEN HE WAS ASKED THAT QUESTI ON,
8 DR. METZGER DI D NOT KNOWTHAT DR. SLAVI T WAS THE
9 A. E. G. - HI RED I NSURANCE DOCTOR, NOT A TREATI NG DOCTOR,
10 AND SO WE HAVE TO POI NT ALL THAT OUT, " SO WHEN THI S
11 LI ST OF DOCTORS WERE READ TO YOU, YOU DI DN' T KNOWTHAT
12 THEY WERE NOT ACTUALLY DOCTORS WHO TREATED MI CHAEL?"
13 WE' D LI KE TO CLEAR THAT UP BECAUSE THAT
14 CAME ACROSS AS MI SLEADI NG AND NOT WHAT - - THAT WAS A
15 CLEVER DEPOSI TI ON READ THAT GOT PLAYED AT TRI AL, BUT
16 DR. METZGER SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME I N AND SAY, " WELL, I
17 DI DN' T KNOWTHOSE WEREN' T TREATI NG DOCTORS. "
18 THEY COULD HAVE SAI D, " WHAT ABOUT
19 DR. BOB SMI TH? DR. SO AND SO?"
20 THE COURT: DR. TABRI ZI , DR. TRACY.
21 MR. PANI SH: EXACTLY.
22 THE COURT: I GUESS - - MY QUESTI ON WOULD BE WHY
23 DI DN' T YOU ASK HI M AT THE DEPO?
24 MR. BOYLE: BECAUSE I DI DN' T KNOWWHO THOSE
25 PEOPLE WERE AT THE DEPO.
26 MR. PANI SH: WHEN YOU TAKE A DEPOSI TI ON OF A
27 TREATI NG DOCTOR, YOU HAVE NO OBLI GATI ON TO ASK ANY
28 QUESTI ONS. WE NEVER ASK QUESTI ONS, VERY RARELY, OF A
866 299-5127
16925
1 PHYSI CI AN THAT' S LOCATED I N THE AREA. WE DON' T ASK
2 QUESTI ONS OF OUR OWN DOCTORS, GENERALLY.
3 HE ASKED A FEWQUESTI ONS, BUT THERE' S NO
4 RESPONSI BI LI TY OR OBLI GATI ON FOR SOMEONE TO QUESTI ON I N
5 A DEPOSI TI ON AND THEN FOR THE COURT TO SAY I F THE
6 DEFENDANT - -
7 THE COURT: THEN WHY DI DN' T YOU CALL HI M I N YOUR
8 CASE?
9 MR. BOYLE: MS. CHANG WAS TRYI NG TO, WE ALREADY
10 WENT THROUGH THI S ABOUT HER EFFORTS AND NOT GETTI NG
11 HI M. HE WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
12 MR. PANI SH: YOU ALLOWED US TO REOPEN, WE WANTED
13 TO CALL HI M THEN, YOU GO NO, LET THEM PLAY THE DEPO,
14 THEN YOU CAN CALL HI M AFTER. SO YOU DI DN' T ALLOWUS TO
15 CALL HI M. HE WANTED TO CALL HI M FI RST, YOU SAI D NO,
16 THEY PLAYED THE DEPO FI RST.
17 SO NOWWE' RE TRYI NG TO BE SHOEHORNED I NTO
18 THE FACT THAT THE COURT ALLOWED THE DEPOSI TI ON AND SO
19 NOWWE' RE FORECLOSED ON AREAS THAT ARE NOT - - THAT ARE
20 ALLEGEDLY CUMULATI VE ON AN EXPERT - - HE' S GOI NG TO TALK
21 ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, DR. STOLL - - THEY' RE J UST TRYI NG TO
22 FI SH OUT EVERYTHI NG. THAT' S WHAT I T I S.
23 THE COURT: DR. STOLL. WHAT ELSE? DOCTOR
24 SHOPPI NG?
25 MR. BOYLE: HE WAS ASKED QUESTI ONS ABOUT
26 DR. STOLL, AND MY UNDERSTANDI NG I S THAT HE HAS - -
27 MR. PANI SH: HE' S GOI NG TO TALK ABOUT OTHER
28 EVENTS ON TOURS THAT HE WAS I NVOLVED I N. THEY DI DN' T
866 299-5127
16926
1 GET I NTO EVERYTHI NG ON THE TOURS. HE' S GOI NG TO TALK
2 ABOUT OTHER EXAMI NATI ONS, WORK THAT HE' S DONE ON OTHER
3 TOURS, ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE I NVOLVED.
4 THERE' S A LOT OF THI NGS THAT HE' S GOI NG TO
5 TALK ABOUT THAT WERE NOT COVERED I N THE DEPOSI TI ON.
6 EVEN THOUGH I DI SAGREE WI TH YOU THAT NOWWE CAN BE
7 PENALI ZED I F WE ASK A QUESTI ON THAT THEY DI DN' T I N THE
8 DEPOSI TI ON, I BELI EVE THAT THE TESTI MONY WI LL NOT BE
9 THE SAME QUESTI ONS I N THE DEPOSI TI ON, BUT MORE
10 EXPANSI VE OF WHAT OCCURRED.
11 THAT WAS ALL MR. PUTNAM' S QUESTI ONI NG, BUT
12 FOR TWO PAGES OR THREE PAGES BY MR. BOYLE. ALL THE
13 QUESTI ONI NG WAS DONE BY MR. PUTNAM, NOT BY PLAI NTI FFS'
14 COUNSEL, I N THE DEPOSI TI ON; AND I T WOULD BE UNFAI R THAT
15 BECAUSE WE COUNTER DESI GNATED QUESTI ONS THAT HE ASKED,
16 THAT WE CAN' T CALL THE WI TNESS AND ASK SPECI FI C
17 QUESTI ONS.
18 THE COURT' S ALREADY MADE A FI NDI NG THAT WE
19 CAN REOPEN AS TO DR. METZGER. THEY WANT TO KEEP
20 REVI SI TI NG THAT.
21 THE COURT: EVEN I F I DI D, I DON' T WANT TO - -
22 MR. PANI SH: YOU DI D. I ' LL GET THE TRANSCRI PT.
23 THE COURT: EVEN I F I DI D, I DON' T WANT TO SPEND

28 THEY SAI D I T' S ALL CUMULATI VE. I T WASN' T, I T WAS

16927
1 DI RECTED SPECI FI CALLY TO AN AREA, I T WAS TOTALLY
2 PROPER. OKAY? THEY WANTED ME TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH
3 THI S, I T WAS TOTALLY APPROPRI ATE.
4 MS. BI NA: YOUR HONOR, I WOULD NOTE FOR THE

6 MAYBE THREE MI NUTES OF QUESTI ONS ON MS. J ORRI E AND THE

20 MR. BOYLE: THAT' S A NI CE SPI N ON I T, YOUR HONOR,
