Legal discussion of deposition standards and Epstein obstruction in civil sexual assault cases

Legal discussion of deposition standards and Epstein obstruction in civil sexual assault cases The passage mainly outlines procedural rules and cites existing case law regarding admissibility of evidence in the Epstein civil suits. It does not provide new factual leads, names of undisclosed actors, financial transactions, or novel allegations that could be pursued. Key insights: Deposition must be reasonably calculated to discover admissible evidence (Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.280(b)).; Epstein repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment in civil cases.; Edwards is seeking discovery of Epstein's friends who might corroborate abuse allegations.
