Jenni Baird: Linda Wallis

Quotes 

• Linda Wallis : Why is Ron on a business show? Why not a network with more viewers? Most jurors don't watch this.

  Tom Nicholson : We're not trying to influence the jury. When you're suing a corporation, you try to influence its board through its stock price. Institutional investors and money managers control most of Pagonon's stock. They watch this show. They'll see Ron on TV and might begin to believe that Pagonon is in real legal trouble. So they'll call to start selling off their Pagonon shares. It will only take about a minute for the price to drop. If the stock price drops low enough, it could pressure Pagonon's board to settle this case with a check big enough to save Mary the pain of trial.
