Lindsay’s Deposition to be Filmed
Lindsay Lohan & her lawyer lost their plea to keep video tapes outside the court room during Lindsay Lohan’s deposition.
LA Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern denied the bid to bar cameras in a ruling on Wednesday. Lindsay’s lawyer objected strongly on her behalf - he feels the video will be sold by one of the people who has access to it. And I do agree with him there.
"If a single picture of Ms. Lohan can sell for thousands of dollars, a videotape of the deposition will undoubtedly sell for tens of thousands of dollars, or more," her attorney, David J. Ozeran, wrote in court papers.
Ozeran says he believes the real purpose of videotaping is to "annoy Ms. Lohan and to attempt to gain a litigation advantage by causing her concern about the embarrassment of such a videotape.”
I hope they take precautions to prevent that tape from being sold! Not only is that a misuse of the legal system and an invasion of Lindsay’s privacy, but being on tape may influence how the proceedings go forward.

6 opinions for Lindsay’s Deposition to be Filmed

So — I’m not sure that this deposition has the same rules as a “typical” (?) courtroom, but I would strongly recommend that Lindsay take the stand that her answers are for the court only, and that as long as there are others present recording her answers who do not represent the court she is NOT inclined or obligated to provide any answers other than the 5th amendment!
Larry R, dave — what do you think her options are?
– nosy, frikkin’ cameras!

So — I’m not sure how this deposition compares to a “regular” court session, but I would recommend that Lindsay take the stand that her answers are for the court record ONLY, and as long as there are any video recordings being made by anyone who does NOT represent the court, that the ONLY answer she has is the 5th amendment!
Could she be held in contempt of court for that? Sometimes the most contemptible thing in the courtroom is the judge!
So — maybe it could be established that Lindsay has a severe psychological co-dependent/adversarial complex to any sort of video recording and therefore can not be held responsible for he actions / reactions due to the presence of video recording equipment?
Larry R, dave — what do you guys think she could do?
Lindsay — prepare yourself prayerfully! If there is to be a recording, let them see you only as the changed person that you now are!
All my best wishes and prayers, in His Love, Who Loves you more than anyone can!

Hello Lindsay’s Friend !! Sorry but isn’t a good Idea to say you can’t stand being recorded when you make a LIVING doing just that, would be laughed to scorn I am afraid. Would also cost Her future Job Prospects. No I like the Second One, answer Truthfully, Under Oath, and as a court record, the tapes may not be able to be released for public consumption. Also consult with Attourney before saying ANYTHING, as pre-aranged as possible for what questions may be asked, and what her possible answers will be. She should also be very careful of Double Speak on the part of Ortega’s attourney, as that has become all the rage, a question asked for ostensibly one meaning, but hidden meaning in the same sentence. BAD people. Playing at word and mind games to trap the Innocent. WE have to be cautious to look out for ourselves ALL the time, as I have said many times before. However, I don’t think the Attourney for Ortega, can prove his case. 5 people, and 4 of them drinking, HE CANNOT PROVE THAT LINDSAY WAS THE ONE THAT WAS Drinking !! And the Police have ALREADY PROVED that HE MADE AN ILLEGAL U TURN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, AT AN UNAVOIDABLE DISTANCE FOR SOMEONE TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT !! Charged HIM with the Accident !! So he cannot win. this is all a Publicity venture on the part of whoever is backing Ortega. To once again try to keep Lindsay’s life in Turmoil. AND IF I EVER FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE, YOUR LIFE WILL GET V-E-R-Y INTERESTING. You have my personal word on it.
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, Me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.

ortega is a ‘guest worker’ without a CA drivers license,how in the hell can he sue the holder of a valid CA license,the innocent miss Lohan,in this case,the 2005 accident,in which ortega was charged and convicted of an illegal u-turn,and causing the accident.i read the report on the ivy bar tab,four drinks which were a vodka mix,and a cappuchino for a party of five.that means four people each drank one drink,and one person drank a cappuchino.hmmm…this accident was in oct05,so Lindsay was 19,her birthday being july 2,and i’m sure the waiter carded her,as the ivy is a famous restaurant in the LA area,and wouldn’t want the ABC people on their butt.Lindsay hadn’t descended into the darkness way yet,way back then,so i believe this ortega person is a golddiggin’ oppurtunist,and i hope she wins her countersuit.good luck,Lindsay.
1)ortega is an illegal driver
2)ortega caused the accident
3)ortega was charged and convicted of the illegal u-turn and accident
4)police report says ortega is at fault,and that alcohol and intoxication were NOT a factor
5)ortega WAITED TWO YEARS to file his phoney lawsuit once he heard about miss Lohans current legal issues.
6)who is fronting ortega?how does a ‘busboy’ pay the shyster if he loses his suit?
7)another publicity-hungry judge with a bent for celebrities,regardless if they’re innocent or not
8)pinko,leftist judicial system of CA,and communist civil court in which you are guilty until proven innocent
good luck again,miss Lohan.peace

Thank You once again Rachel Rule (Dave ) You have printed out the facts that I have been mulling over, so that others on this blog can see what I have been puzzling about. It was the ” Guest Worker ” Status, that got me from the Original report, as a ” Guest Worker ” his Legal Status in the U.S. is thin to start with, and after causing the accident, with out a drivers license he SHOULD have been deported, who blocked that and WHY, how long has this particular harrasment setup been brewing ?? As I said since Herbie, back in 2005 or 2004 perhaps even. May have started just after ” Mean Girls ” but my sources put it around the time of ” Herbie ” I am still unable to put a name to this person, or persons, but I am getting closer. Powerful yes, Money Yes, narrows it down to a few, the Judge in the current case is just a pawn, ” They ” are Using him, and He is hoping to further his ambitions with cases like this, or he wouldn’t have agreed to let it go forward, would have refused it as a case closed incident, and mandated the ” Guest Worker ” be taken into custody for Deportation. Driving without a license is still Illegal, and as Jail time was also warrented for our ” Guest Worker ” he would simply have been deported. These people think they are untouchable, but unless they stop their attacks real soon, they are going to find out just how much ” touching ” can be done. I am REALLY TICKED OFF ABOUT THIS ONE !!
But our legal system being what it is, this is just nuisence for Lindsay, Ortega, cannot prove his case, and Lindsay will not lose this one.
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, Me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.
