The handful of the Trustees that manipulated the proceedings until the announcement on 11 April of innocence, have had their bad decision making covered up by endowment money. And because of their failures in business: Robert K Steele, Wachovia Bank; Roy Bostock, Yahoo; John J Machoul Morgan Stanley; Rick Wagoner, General Motors; these individuals are relying on endowment monies to go on paying for their failures apart from their careers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-30331975400959765422012-08-04T18:43:31.645-04:002012-08-04T18:43:31.645-04:00To Jim in San Diego:

Yet, we are still in initial discovery stages, with much on hold.<br /><br />In our region of California, judges are expected to bring cases to trial within 12 months. They are evaluated on how well they keep their calendar moving.<br /><br />We are very litigious here, and there are lots of lawsuits. Nevertheless, no civil case here, in my experience, is ever delayed as the Duke case has been.

Pretrial publicity is hardly a reason in a civil case -- and especially not for this case. Duke, I would think, waived any objections to pretrial publicity with all the harmful statements made by Brodhead, Burness, and the Gang of 88. <br /><br />The Judge is bending way over backwards for Duke. This is something you'd expect from lawyers representing a tobacco company. Duke must have them some cigarette lawyers. For shame. MOO!
