Said it before, I'll say it again.
Don't think that scox will necessarily win a jury's sympathies. Smart, dumb, hicks, whatever. Be certain that IBM has *very* good lawyers, and they know all about sypathic juries.
Making scox look like the bad guy would be a cinch. IANAL, but:
- McBride as "devout Mormon" ? I'd blow that notion out of the water in about ten seconds.
- IBM picking on scox? I could easily disprove that.
- First, I'd demolish all scox credibility, list dozens of outright lies made by scox execs. Think the jury would be sypathetic to a filthy liar calling himself a "devout Mormon" ? Real Mormons would be the first to hang him.
- Jury sypathetic to an extortion scam?
- Jury sypathetic to attepted theft of the work of volunteers?
b3n is a grandmother, and not a techie, yet she understands the issues. You don't have to be a software engineer to understand the issues in this case. Besides, I wouldn't assume that the technobabble is going to help help scox more than ibm.
