The beat goes on in East Lansing, MI... MSU Coach Mark Dantonio to be deposed
- Thread starter ChiTownLion
- Start date
Does the 7 hours include the bad weather delay?
Like Jimmy B, Mark should be very thankful he is no Joe Paterno. Otherwise he would be all over the national news 24/7 with this event and media twisting every word he says.
Should be very interesting. Those guys doing the questioning are not a bunch of media hacks who are going to be intimidated by a football coach like Dantonio. He might snarl and growl like he does when a media guy asks him a question, but these guys will not back down and if anything their line of questioning might get more hostile towards him.
I would venture to guess that Dantonio has received legal counsel and has been advised to answer the questions directly and succinctly. So, I don't think snarling and growling will be part of deposition.
Yes. But you can't expect him to change over-night. This is a guy who has been allowed to bully the media for 10+ years by snarling & growling every time he was asked something he did not like.
I am sure he will be coached for many hours by his legal council. And I am also sure his legal council will coach him to answer as much as possible with non-discriminating answers such as "I'm not sure", "I do not remember", "To the best I can remember"..... No court can charge with with lack of memory and not remembering. It's much better to say a "grey" answer than a "black & white" answer.
He'd look great in orange, it's a good color for him and his disposition and not because it's October.
That is a great response Norm! And on your birthday too!!Are you posting "TIC"?
If he is being deposed, everything is attorney client privilege. Zero of what he says will ever make it's way to the light of day. So not sure what anybody is expecting to come out of this. This isn't a grand jury presentment that the prosecutor is going to lie about and secretly release to the press.
Deposed? Big deal.....
Let me know when he’s decomposed!

I thought attorney client privilege was between a person and his own attorney. In this case, someone else is asking the questions. Why would this privilege be applied? Wouldn't it be a right to know type of public document? At least eventually?
Why would it be a public document. It is a lawsuit. D'Antonio's attorney (probably two of them) will literally be sitting right next to him the entire time probably objecting to a third of every question asked. This lawsuit will eventually be settled and the records sealed. That is how it works.
Okay, but that's not the same thing as attorney client privilege.
Why did the judge rule the deposition can take place after the season?
so being deposed for seven hours by attorneys out to find out anything done wrong by MSU and the football coach will result in no leaks ...hmmm
Will he respond “ I think that’s kind of a dumb ass question to be honest with you” during this deposition?
