Notable Quotes 3
initially my thought was that we could describe in detail, like, one generic visit ... but the problem is that it then instantly becomes impossible to screen new victims.
I think the arrest itself by SDNY will speak to the significance and seriousness of the case and Geoff can talk all he wants about how serious and significant it is without needing additional victim details.
I could not agree more—honestly, our main argument at trial will be that these details were never publicized, so they couldn't possibly make up their testimony.
