Yikes. Far be it for me to defend Mr. Lichtman, but there is no way in hell he can come on here and start saying negative (and even potentially criminal) things about his client out of some vague interest in balanced discussion. No lawyer can do that and be a lawyer for long - both their clients and their licenses will be gone or at risk.

Others - Mastro counsel, semi-interested readers, even you, Peter - can bring up what they want about either party, good or bad, in a thread like this. But the last person with the responsibility to bring up anything negative about one side is counsel for that side.

Sorry Peter - while I can see that your concern is for a balanced discussion about something that is important to you, it is probably not fair to expect Jeff to lead the conversation.

What I find amazing is that the two parties in a major civil suit would even discuss any of it on a public forum...where else on the internet does that happen? Net54baseball rocks!

What's more amazing is that Doug has given more comments about the litigation to Net 54 than all the people here who predicted that this litigation would be disastrous for Dave.
