There is a substantial difference in our case...I had nothing to loose and everything to gain. We knew our
sources were reliable, we had corroborated everything we published. There is PLENTY we did not publish
because we had only one source or the record or documentation did not verify the statements made, in
some cases more opinion than factual data.
You must also remember, we had also spent quite a bit of time preparing for the conciliation process and
so were armed with a load of documents. In fact, we unleashed thousands of documents upon the plaintiff
when discovery opened and would explain why they never had to issue a single subpoena.
We also had a judge, that while being a close friend of Counsellor Pucci, we also knew he had been a reporter
and had investigated corruption, including a none profit, while employed as a prosecutor. We also knew he
would be prone to dismiss on a whim and is why we did not play the standard playbook and request a Motion
to Dismiss upon being served, contrary to counsel's recommendation. In fact, I, unlike most, knew they would
have no alternative but to sue me to try to shut us up. They knew we had the goods and they knew our sources
were exceptional. And I knew a lawsuite was an excellent public forum upon which to prove our case, both to the
jury and the court of public opinion.
So, we had several advantages and true to form, when we were closing in on the hard evidence in the form of bank
statements, auditors records and a host of upcoming depositions, the WIMPS DISMISSED their own case. We should
have closed the gate much earlier, but we knew where the evidence was going and it would justfy a claim for abuse
of process and the less innocuous Misuse of Process. They were smart enough to try to shut it down before we had
the noose tied and ready to kick the horse...but, rest assured, we will get there.
They have already eliminated several obstructions to Danny's rise again and Jim will retire, Danny will be back and we
will too!!! Does a leopard change his spots or a tiger it's stripes?
