From Sylvia Fleener vs. TBN, et al
Deposition of Paul Crouch on behalf of TCCSA
(Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana, Inc.)
NASHVILLE COURT REPORTERS (615) 885-5798
1 Q.
Were any searches done by TBN for a book or
2 manuscript entitled "The Omega Syndrome" prior to the
3 summer of the year 2000 when this lawsuit was filed?
4 A.
I was advised by staff that a search was
5 requested, I believe by Mr. Colby May, our attorney in
6 Washington.
7
MR. RAWLS: Now, be careful about
8 saying what Mr. May said, because what Mr. May said is
9 covered by the attorney-client privilege. So right
now
10 he's asking you about whether a search was done, not
11 who told you what to do.
12
THE WITNESS: I didn't personally
13 speak to Mr. May about it anyway. But my understanding
14 was that Mr. May had requested the search and that a
15 search was conducted by Renee Brewer, the manager of
16 the facility here, and that after a very lengthy and
17 diligent search, a manuscript was found. I am told
18 that it was found in what we call "Building No. 3,"
19 which is commonly known as the LaVergne Tripp Studio
20 Building. It also houses the offices of the church
21 resident here at Trinity Music City. So the manuscript
22 was found.
23 BY MR. QUISENBERRY:
24 Q. Have
you ever seen that manuscript that was
25 found at that time?
