I now recognise I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr Dershowitz.
Prince Andrew should fight
After his accusations being taken back, Dershowitz believes that Prince Andrew should’ve ‘never settled’ the lawsuit outside the court. The Duke of York settled his lawsuit with Giuffre in February for an undisclosed sum even though the Duke wanted to fight to clear his name.
Amidst this Dershowitz confirmed that some depositions and videotapes are sealed within the Giuffre case that his team is pushing to release. He believes that those tapes could ‘change everything.’ The lawyer told Newsweek:
I think it would be a useful thing for him and his lawyers to try to unseal the depositions and to try to unseal the videotapes.
I think he should never have settled, but obviously, he was pressured to do so. I hope he pursues it. The whole truth should come out about everybody.
Andrew could make a clean comeback
Prince Andrew has been struggling to deal with his regular life after he stepped down from his Royal duties and he has been adamant to make a return to his Royal public life. Dershowitz also insisted that if Prince Andrew and his lawyers fight till the end, he could make a clean comeback to Royal public life.
On being asked if he thinks Prince Andrew can make a comeback, he said:
I do. I think that if the material that is now sealed is uncovered by the media, then I believe a different version will emerge and he will be vindicated.
So I think his fate depends on whether the material that the Giuffre [and her lawyer David] Boies side now wants to keep secret is kept secret. If that's still kept secret, the current version will go on. But if that's made public, I think everything will change.
