The first one he is counter-suing for damages.
The party with the deep pockets trying to make the other party give up. Pretty obvious tactic.
The second we don't even know if a crime was committed.
We don't, but to try to pretend that the first incident doesn't make it more likely that this particular smoke is indeed fire is just laughable.
Certainly, the first one does make him an easier target.
As likely as not, legitimately so.
I'm not saying both are after money, but the first has all kinds of issues
Like possibly being sexually assaulted by an NFL quarterback.
and the second had a lawyer before Big Ben did.
I would hope that you would stipulate that your client is a particularly stupid man, counsellor. Great athlete, but dumber than a plow handle.
Who knows what happened in the second incident?
A small number for sure.
But you're using cirular logic to use both cases to give the other more credibility when the first pretty obviously appears to be fraudulent.
Saying the same thing over and over doesn't make it true. When a settlement is announced, will you be up front enough to admit that it means more than someone just wants it behind them? Because it does. It absolutely does and will.
