Q. When you, sir, with all due respect when you're sitting down to write a book to state your, as you
call it, hypothesis that Patsy Ramsey murdered her daughter, I'm just operating under the assumption
that you would have thoroughly familiarized yourself with the investigation before committing that type
of a statement to word for profit. Is my assumption wrong?

MR. DIAMOND: This deposition is not about the authorship of his book.

MR. WOOD: No, it's about his knowledge of the investigation, sir.

MR. DIAMOND: You can ask him questions about that.

MR. WOOD: I just did.

Q. (BY MR. WOOD) Is my assumption wrong?

MR. DIAMOND: I direct you not to answer the pending question. The next question.

Q. (BY MR. WOOD) Did you or did you not prior to April of 2000 familiarize yourself fully with
the significant findings of the investigation of John Ramsey and Patsy Ramsey in connection with the
death of JonBenet, yes or no?

A. I tried to.

Q. Did you feel confident that you had in fact that familiarity?

A. Was I familiar with the case? Yes, absolutely.

Interesting the lawyer wouldn't let Thomas answer that question. Very interesting.

I wonder what Thomas' Angel is thinking about all this.

Thomas fell off a lot of pedestals when he settled the lawsuit - Angel kept defending him. I think she will stop now. I think even she will step back - a giant step.

This really is worse than I thought it would be.
