This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Hey, it's Stephanie, back with a bonus episode.

In episode six, we heard some of Laura's taped deposition.

It was recorded in March of 2024, and it hasn't been made public before now.

So we wanted to share some more of the jaw-dropping moments from the deposition that didn't

make it into the last episode.

Here begins video number one in the video deposition of Laura Michelle Owens.

I want to start at the very beginning, because I think it's telling.

Remember, two years before this recording, Laura emailed a judge, accusing Clayton's lawyer

Greg Woodnick of conspiring to have her raped. In the end, nothing came of that allegation.

No police report, no investigation, nothing.

When Woodnick sat down to tape Laura's deposition in Clayton's case,

he was strikingly patient, thorough, and kind.

He spends five minutes making sure she understands the deposition process and her rights.

Laura, we're here for your deposition. And before I start in with questions, I want to make

sure you understand the rules of depositions here in Arizona. I'm going to do my best to

speak slowly so that our sweet court reporter can transcribe all the words I'm saying. If I go

too fast, she'll probably correct me and

slow me down. She'll do the same for you. I'll ask you a question and I expect you to answer

the question. I will do my best not to talk over you and I would ask that you do the same to not

talk over me. This is a deposition which means it's my opportunity as counsel for Mr. Eckert to ask you questions and you're under oath.
