You know, I understand why a person would do that. Doesn't necessarily mean he's guilty. Other people might look at it and say, you know, why did you pay her off if you're innocent and why not fight it? But fighting these cases is hard. It can go on for years. If you're a high profile person, it can really, damage your reputation. So part of it also depends on the settlement amount.

I think if somebody settles for $50,000, it's very different than they settled for a million dollars, right? If they settle for a bigger number, that indicates that the accuser probably had some pretty good evidence that the accused person is trying to suppress by way of the settlement.

So that's a very common fight that happens during the discovery phase, objecting to something based on attorney client privilege. Attorney client privilege is pretty much sacrosanct. If you are writing a note, for example, for your attorney, that does not get turned over to the other side. That is privileged and confidential.

If you have a conversation with your attorney, that should not be recorded in the prison system so that other people can hear. People should not be listening in and you should not be asked questions about it later. What did you say to your attorney? What did your attorney say to you? That's privileged and confidential.

The problem is sometimes people just write notes and

And then later on, it's not clear. Were you writing that for your attorney or were you just writing it for yourself? If you're writing it for yourself, it's not an attorney-client communication. It's not privileged. You have to turn it over. They might then say, oh, oh, I just remembered. Yeah, I was writing that for my attorney. Let me just put it at the top. Dear attorney, right?

So the court's going to see through that if you're playing games.

Right. If it's his notes from court, even if he's sitting in court listening and taking notes. Again, it's going to be a question of, is that just for his own purposes or was that for his attorneys and for his case?

Well, of course, we're all curious as to who that is. Is it somebody associated with Jay-Z? Is it, I mean, who is it? And we just don't know. But from the point of view of the case, this person is going to be a witness. And probably one of the first things Jay-Z's team will do in the discovery phase is file a request to say, who is this?

And the plaintiff, the woman and her team, they're going to have to reveal it to Jay-Z. And then they can go talk to this witness and see if she remembers it the way that the accuser does. I also just think, you know, as somebody, I've been doing these kinds of cases for 40 years. I still have many, many active cases.

And I kind of have a nose for when people are telling the truth and when they're not. And some of it is based on detail. Like, why would you add that detail in there if you're making up a story? In fact, if you're making up a story, it's better to not have witnesses in the room, right? Because then they can come forward and say, well, that's not what happened, right?
