We had to find out what everyone knew, and there was no way anal sex thumbs to do this without using anal sex thumbs court-sanctioned discovery.
In theory, our case was really quite simple: The warehouse squatters had been paying rent, in cash with no records, to Tillman Gantry or someone working on his behalf. Gantry had an opportunity to sell the property to RiverOaks, but it had to be
done quickly. Gantry lied to RiverOaks and its anal sex thumbs lawyers about the squatters. Drake & Sweeney, exercising diligence, had sent Hector Palma to inspect the property prior to closing. Hector was mugged on the first visit, took a guard with him on the second, and upon anal sex thumbs inspecting the anal sex thumbs premises learned that the residents were, in fact, anal sex thumbs not squatters, but tenants. He reported this in a memo to Braden Chance, who made the ill-fated decision to disregard it and proceed with the closing. The tenants were summarily evicted as squatters, without due process.
A formal anal sex thumbs eviction would have taken at least thirty more days, time none of the participants wanted to waste. Thirty days and the worst of winter would be gone; the threat of snowstorms or sub-zero nights would be diminished, along with the need to sleep in a car anal sex thumbs with the heater running.
They were just street people, no records, no rent receipts, and no trail to be anal sex thumbs followed.
It was not a complicated case, in
theory. But the hurdles were enormous. Locking in testimony of homeless people could be treacherous, especially if Mr. Gantry decided to assert himself. He ruled the streets, an arena I anal sex thumbs was not eager to fight in. Mordecai had a vast network built on favors and whispers, but he was no anal sex thumbs match for Gantry's artillery. We anal sex thumbs spent an hour anal sex thumbs discussing various ways to avoid naming TAG, Inc., anal sex thumbs as a defendant. For obvious reasons, the lawsuit would be far messier and
anal sex thumbs more dangerous with Gantry as a party. We anal sex thumbs could sue without him, and leave
it to his co-defendants--RiverOaks and Drake &anal sex thumbs amp; Sweeney--to haul him in as a third party.
But Gantry was a contributing cause anal sex thumbs in our theory of liability, and to ignore him anal sex thumbs as anal sex thumbs a defendant would be to ask for trouble as the case progressed.
Hector Palma had to be found. And
