Paco.....whenever these kinds of things happen we all ask ourselves "What Happened?" when we really mean "Could that be me one day?". We see very experienced, well qualified friends, come to a sad end and it reminds us of our own vulnerability.
If this legal proceeding does continue....there shall be some interesting argument in Court. Hopefully, someone will be able to report them to us as it would be very educational reading. I have been involved in similar tribunals as a witness and understand only too well how Counsel can twist words, spin facts, and manipulate data to their advantage.....and make what they are saying sound plausible to the Jury who most times are thick as two short planks when it comes to the matters being discussed. That is where "perception" trumps "fact"....and unless the Judge keeps a close rein on the hearing.....bad Jury decisions can occur.
