throw it out at this stage by acquiescing to prince andrew s argument that there is no argument here, the settlement releases prince andrew and it can t be sued by virginia giuffre. so, this is really significant, it lines up with my interpretation of the hearing we had last week, judge kaplan s views in the hearing were very sceptical, i thought, of prince andrew s arguments, so i m not surprised this is what he s decided based on how he was approaching these arguments last week, but it is a very very significant. now we all move forward to the phase where we have discovery or disclosure of documents and evidence and i don t think prince andrew would ever have expected to be facing in order to hand over documents relating to this suit. i think it s really significant and an important day in terms ofjustice. break it down for us, i write out some of the wording of the judgment
criminal trial in new york in the autumn. throughout all of this, prince andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, any involvement. have yet had any reaction from his households, from the palace on this latest ruling from the judge in new york? i latest ruling from the udge in new york? . , ., , , latest ruling from the udge in new york? . , ., i, ., york? i have seen on myself so far, i am york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we will york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we will soon. york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we will soon. there - york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we will soon. there is - york? i have seen on myself so far, i am sure we will soon. there is the court case, and he has strongly rejected any claims of wrongdoing but the source of reputational damage as well and how bad this will look having lost the attempt to use
experience? it would you judge it within your exoerience? would you judge it within your exerience? , ., ., would you judge it within your exerience? ., ., experience? it is not uncommon for victims of traumatic experience? it is not uncommon for victims of traumatic crimes - experience? it is not uncommon for victims of traumatic crimes to - experience? it is not uncommon for victims of traumatic crimes to have | victims of traumatic crimes to have difficulty remembering all of the details of those incidents. it s not uncommon for their memories of those incidents to be inconsistent. that is normal for events that happened a long time ago and normal for events that traumatised victim. those inconsistencies in themselves don t really affect the credibility of his story. i think prince andrew has come under some significant pressure based on his public statements regarding his contact or his lack of any contact with virginia giuffre but at the end of the day it would be for the jury
about these allegations. what could happen perhaps next, and possibly the next round of discussions will be about whether a deal will be stroke. prince andrew could be forced to give evidence. won t be extradited and such to america but could be forced to give evidence. it so you might want to stop this process by seeking an agreement which would possibly mean paying money to virginia giuffre and come up money to virginia giuffre and come up with some form of words which would allow the steel to be settled out of court. in would allow the steel to be settled out of court- out of court. in front were not familiar with out of court. in front were not familiar with the out of court. in front were not familiar with the details - out of court. in front were not familiar with the details of. out of court. in front were not | familiar with the details of this case, just remind us what is being accused of happening some 20 years ago. there are three times in which ago. there are three tim
