Footnote:
- **In one trail in San Diego a decade or so ago an 'expert' in a case who had called us about a technical support item mischaracterized the conversation in his sworn trial testimony
- I heard about this situation from another expert on the case who was surprised that i would say what the 'expert' said i said. Somehow the trial judge allowed it in and wouldn't allow the opposing counsel to question me or get me to submit an affidavit affirming or clarifying the discussion (the judge said it would have delayed things...so question then becomes...why not exclude the lie?)
- In another unrelated case at a different time, coincidentally also in a San Diego courtroom, also the same 'expert', he relayed parts of a conversion he said he and i had and he characterized that i SLAMMED down the phone
(ummmm...
realize that one only hears a click when a cell phone is hung up these days whether slammed or simply disconnected
...another lie!)
Somehow in both instances the judge allowed uncorroborated hearsay testimony in as evidence with no chance for rebuttal or clarification??!!
BTW you can be assured that clown expert who mischaracterized conversations with me to bolster his opinion and for the sake of pleasing his clients we have forevermore refused to talk with him and cancelled his software license.
That was the primary reason we felt it was IMPORTANT to post up this disclaimer!
