In all fairness to Mr. Cooley, he was brought into this case way late--probably after Mr. Miscavige knew they were in trouble, perhaps by mishandling the case by the other five law firms involved. If Mr. Cooley knew that Ms. Kobrin was undermining his presentation like this, I'll bet he would be mad. He's the top guy, not Kobrin. She's got a lot of nerve--I give her that! I suppose she thinks she could have done better that Mr. Cooley. If so, why did Mr. Cooley have to come in and try to rescue their case then. Cooley should have been in on it from the start. We would have gotten a lot better media coverage to.

I heard that Ingram's Attorney Eliot Abelson had to sit in the gallery because there wasn't enough room at the Plaintiff's table for all 7 lawyers. Who is Eric Lieberman from New York, the 7th Attorney.
