[QUOTE="brandon_cox, post: 429337, member: 3408"] So, when I wrote the quoted post I hadn't seen the AJC article which described the contents of their attorneys' Motion to Withdraw. A couple of quick thoughts: 1. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why a competent and respected attorney such Paul Gattone would take a counterclaim alleging sexual assault on a contingency basis. What, I wondered, did Miracle Whips promise in the way of evidence? Well, he fed him the biggest and best lie imaginable: a smoking gun with semen on it. And it worked for a while; he got his national headlines and caused pain to CJP, his family and GT. But now RB and JP are in for a world of hurt. The jig is up. 2. Kudos to Gattone. He wasted thousands of dollars of billable hours on those clowns and he was not leaving without getting a pound of flesh. The Motion to Withdraw is not online but I've read enough coverage of it to know that he went the extra mile to portray RB and JP as liars and frauds. That will resonate strongly within the Pima County legal community. No one will touch this case without an insane retainer and billable rate. These morons may end up representing themselves. 3. The Motion to Withdraw is more devastating to Miracle Whips than the independent investigation, IMHO. So-called independent investigations are often times viewed as biased in favor of whoever is paying the bill (see Goodell, Roger), although the one conducted in this case was thorough and even-handed. But when your own attorney calls you out as a fraud and a liar, well that resonates strongly with everybody, including a prospective jury pool. 4.The case will go on. The Judge will give RB and JP a month or so to find new counsel and will have no sympathy if they can't. There is already outstanding discovery. Coming up in the near future will be Motions to Compel followed by Motions for Sanctions. If RB and JP don't respond, at some time in the future the Judge will probably strike the Counterclaim and enter a judgment of behalf of CJP. The only remaining issue for the jury would be how much damages to award. 5. If I'm CJP I don't take my foot off the accelerator. He's in a position to crush these scumbags. As a lawyer, it would be a freaking wet dream to depose these lying sacks of manure. They've told so many lies and contradicted themselves so many times that they will probably end up perjuring themselves. So, let's see what happens next. Will CJP let him settle or will he go all in on destroying Miracle Whips once and for all. [/QUOTE]
