OJ Simpson Lawyer Explains What's REALLY Going On Behind The Scenes At The DSK Trial

"[The maid and her lawyer] may want to see justice done, but ultimately, money is more important," he told Le Figaro.

He also decoded what the news stories about each side's strategy REALLY mean. In the news, the maid's defense team and DSK's defense team might sound like they're enemies. Really, though, the maid's lawyer is probably negotiating a settlement with DSK's defense right now. And those news stories are just part of the negotiations.

"When [the maid's lawyer] said he was cooperating with the prosecutor, it was just a message to the defense and said he expected an offer," says Dershowitz. "If he really cooperated, he would not bother to specify. For now, we hear a lot of messages sent from both sides."

In other words, when the maid told her lawyer that "all of DSK's power and wealth will not keep the truth from getting out," for example, what she really might've been saying was, "I want another $1 million."

And when DSK's team announced that he has evidence that undermines the maid's credibility, that was probably him saying, "Not a chance in hell," and when the maid warned about testifying at the trial, that might've cost DSK another $1 million.
