SRL for [cross - examine]: They refuse to testify at a deposition , and my suggestion to them was that if we were capable of resolving something as a result of this conference , that they would then attend a deposition , because I believe the defendants would have a right to [cross - examine] them or otherwise examine them prior to them taking the stand .
ARG-0: the defendants | ARG-1: them | ARG-M-TMP: prior to them taking the stand
