A clue that this deposition was going to be a riot is found on page 6. Right out of the box Robon has me scratching my head. I am going to start referring to Robon as Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy who searches for truth and justice.
Quote:
7 BY MR. ROBON:
8 Q Mr. Pastilong, you know who I am, correct;
9 why I am here?
10 A I assume I do.
11 Q Okay. I am here for a search for the
12 truth, protect Richard Rodriguez; you have been told
13 that?
14 A You are here for the truth.
15 Q Yes.
16 A And that's fine with me.
17 Q Okay.

BTW, as a lawyer conducting a deposition, I am not necessarily interested in finding the truth. I want to nail down the opponent's story so I know what I must do to prepare for trial. Pastilong didn't allow Robon to corner him on anything significant.
