Alan Dershowitz:

Robert Shapiro:

Alan Dershowitz:

Robert Kardashian:
Bob thought it was a good idea.

Robert Shapiro:
No, no, no, wait. Why did you say that? You don’t know what it was like that day. You weren’t there.

’Alan Dershowitz:
Of course. And I’m here to help, not to judge.

Robert Shapiro:
Oh, you are here to judge. What was that? What was all that?

Alan Dershowitz:
Bob, you have to move fast. Your client, his goodwill, all of his popularity and accomplishments, it’s a depreciating asset.

F. Lee Bailey:
