Get the jackpot.

The court’s time was wasted. Those people that lawyers like to perform in front of, and try to bamboozle, with “channeling” victims voices and all that. You know, the jury. They got pulled from their lives to sit through this fraud.

You think that’s a joke, you clearly do. How sad for you that you cannot see something so obvious. How sad for society that you still practice law.

That service time would involve review of malpractice cases from a medical standpoint. It would eliminate "professional witnesses" who testify based on who is paying their bill. To be fair, medical reviewers would have the power to refer cases to appropriate state medical boards when concerns of doctor competence arise.

He probably didn’t because the other side didn’t know either. Given the work that an attorney does on the other side’s witnesses, if it were discoverable the defense would likely have figured it out.

“The lawyer should be disciplined, fined for what he cost society”

What did he “cost society”.

Is this bad? Absolutely. And it's being punished, which to me means the system works. I know of no system involving humans where things like this can never happen.
