![]() Q: I didn't ask for the contents, just simply whether you'd had some discussion about it with a lawyer.Ī: Yesh, with a lot of lawyers, but the discussion. That invades an attorney/client privilege. ![]() Q: And had you consulted on that matter, without telling me what they told you, but had you ever spoken to lawyers about it? Was that something about which you had interested yourself prior to November of 1983? Q: - It's about your knowledge or awareness as a publisher of the potential liabilities for defamation. Q: For the moment, my interest is not about ionization Mr. ISAACMAN: Object to the form of the question.Ī: Everything that is ever went in did have, and has got, my final approval. Flynt, that it is your testimony that surely through the November of 1983 issue, everything that went into that magazine had to have, and did have, your final approval? Q: Well, then, I take it from that answer, Mr. It's all part of their behavior modification program back here. I haven't seen any of my magazines since I've been down here, with the exception of the January issue, and one other one that they let me see. Flynt?Ī: Ah, we're going to deal with the present time a little later. Q: Would that be true up to the present time, Mr. Q: And everything that was published in Hustler magazine in those years was material that, at least, had to be submitted to you for final approval, isn't that true?Ī: Everything that has ever went in Hustler should have had my approval, and anything that went in that did not have my approval, the son of a bitch is either dead, got the shit kicked out of him, or he's out of a job. Now, I may be crazy, but I ain't stupid, Mr. Q: - against Larry Flynt and Hustler, Incorporated?Ī: I refuse to answer that question until we have addressed the issue of medical care. ISAACMAN: (Interposing) I instruct you not to answer any questions of this man until I have the right on your behalf to examine Mr. Q: - in a lawsuit entitled Reverend Jerry Falwell. ISAACMAN: (Interposing) No, no, no, no, no. Flynt, are you aware that you are a defendant. GRUTMAN: You and your client have obviously determined to turn this into a circus or some kind of a freak show. Q: I thought you told me you didn't know his name.Ī: I don't know him. And you know the difference between them? One's a wet snitch, and one's a dry one. Our problem is setting right over there, two of them. Now if you want to get the medication for me, change my bedsore, and put me in the soft cuffs here so I can do a depression, I'll proceed.īut if you're going to treat me like a fool, I'm going to act like one.Ī: (Interposing) Mr. I got a bedsore needs changed, and I need some medication, you know. ISAACMAN: - and if he requests medical attention, like any witness, he ought to be allowed to have it, and I say he should have it.Ī: I've tried to fire him ever since he's been here.Ī: Yeah, Alan Graham. And fortunately, a videotape is being made, and people will be able to observe whether this man is what he pretends to be, or whether in reality he is shamming so as not to answer questions. I'm going to endeavor to ask this man questions. Now, I'm not going to allow that to happen. Kahn, or with himself, he will resort to anything that he possibly can to pretend that he doesn't understand questions and to avoid meeting the requirements that Judge Turk imposed, that he answer questions. Isaacman, neither you nor I are doctors, but it is apparent to me, as I think it is to everybody in this room, that this witness is making a charade out of this deposition. ISAACMAN: If the witness needs a break, or he needs to consult a doctor, he's going to be allowed to do it. Q: Do you wish to pretend that you don't understand my questions? Flynt, to make a mockery out of this deposition? Q: Do you know who the man is to whom you pointed earlier and whom you said knocked out your tooth last night? Q: You do not? Do you wish to pretend that you don't understand the question? Q: Have you ever served in the United States Navy? Q: Have you ever called yourself Larry Flynt?Ī: Used to, but it was spelled with an "I" then. (Read into evidence at the trial on December 5 and 6, 1984)Ī: Christopher Columbus Cornwallis I.P.Q.
