BBC says it was wrong to interview Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz as expert on Ghislaine Maxwell verdict

  • The BBC backtracked after interviewing Alan Dershowitz about the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict.
  • The network did not mention his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, or a sex-abuse accusation against him.
  • The morning after the interview, the BBC admitted the interview should not have gone ahead.
The BBC said that an interview it broadcast with Alan Dershowitz in the wake of the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell should not have been aired.
After Maxwell was found guilty of five counts of sex trafficking, BBC News interviewed Dershowitz, whom it called a constitutional lawyer and presented as it would any other impartial expert.
The network did not mention that Dershowitz is Epstein’s former lawyer. He has also been accused of sexual abuse by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who has accused Prince Andrew and Epstein of similar crimes.
The morning after the interview, the BBC issued a statement saying Dershowitz was “not a suitable person to interview” in such a way.
During the interview, Dershowitz attempted to discredit Giuffre, congratulating US prosecutors for not calling her as a witness in the Maxwell case, according to The Times of London.

“[Prosecutors] did not use as a witness the woman who accused Prince Andrew, who accused me, who accused many other people, because the government didn’t believe she was telling the truth.”
The BBC did not mention that Giuffre has accused Dershowitz of participating in sex crimes against her, nor that she sued him for defamation for calling her a “certified liar” over the abuse allegations.

The interview prompted a number of complaints, including one from Caoilfhionn Gallagher, a human rights lawyer who said presenting Dershowitz as an impartial law experience was an “utterly bizarre decision & does the audience a disservice.”
Rob Burley, a former senior producer at the BBC, said on Twitter: “It’s unclear exactly why the BBC Dershowitz debacle happened last night, but one thing’s for sure: if you cut staff numbers and embark on a restructure that will reduce editorial oversight there will be more mistakes.”

Whats everyones plans (or no plans) for tonight?

The last time I spent New Year’s alone I went to a beautiful location, a simple room and board in the middle of the woods.

I wrote a list of what I wanted more of and as I thought of it I flipped through magazines looking for pictures to represent my thoughts and created a vision board.

I had never done a vision board before and was fascinated by the process: I could articulate in words what I wanted more of, but discovered many other things through the images I had chosen, like there was a deep part of me speaking through what he could see rather than through what he could say.

I also made a list of things I wanted less of - in particular patterns I wanted to break free from. For example, I identified a tendency to be interested in people who weren’t particularly interested in me and decided to focus my time and my energy on people who wanted from me the same thing I wanted from them.

On January 1st I went on a hike through a forest of redwoods and spent some time reflecting on what I had discovered, and on how much calmer and centered I felt, more tidy - a sharp contrast to having gone to a rowdy party I was not really interested in attending.

The process really helped clarify things for me and made the rest of the year calmer, more deliberate and wondrous. Vision boards are, to me, full of awe and magic.

It’s the way I’d like to spend every new year’s eve - but also know that I can do this for myself any time, regardless of the date. The reset button is always there, available to us.
