7. One of the attorneys alleging Dershowitz had "sexually abused" Virginia Roberts, is a sleaze bucket.

From the article:

Cassell, who left his post as federal judge in 2007, describes himself as an advocate for crime victims. He has championed the death penalty - and unsuccessfully pushed to overturn the 1966 Supreme Court decision requiring police to read detainees their rights.

How can you be an advocate for crime victims when you've championed the DP and pushed to overturn the 1966 landmark Miranda Rights law? It appears that ex-judge Cassell is a "hanging judge", and most likely a Republican who has an ax to grind with Progressive Alan Derschowitz.
