Slow start of
trial expected
Tomorrow,
the trial begins.
The
process will be slow and methodical. Best
estimates predict a duration of three to
four months, the longest comes in at six or
seven. Regardless of its duration, we will
do our best to keep you informed with the
truth.
Be
prepared: there will be a lot of
misinformation out there. The
responsible media should of course report
the truth, but as we know by experience,
sometimes the media repeats rumors as fact,
accepts unproven accusations as truth, or
worse. Among reporters, ignorance of the
law as it specifically applies in this case
continues to be a problem in accurate
reporting, and so we hope that the trial
itself will shed a light of understanding.
The internet media, on the other hand, can
be expected to continue to serve its own
purpose, regardless of the truth. Whether
to inflame, to distract, to deceive, to
destroy... out of envy, or jealousy, or
greed, or just plain closed-minded
stubborness. Nothing should surprise us, we
should expect it all.
One
exception: we should not expect
fireworks on the first day, except
perhaps by the media itself. Cameras and
reporters will most likely outnumber lawyers
and litigants. Actual courtroom events will
prove to be less than exciting at first,
with motions and points of order to
establish sequence and procedure for the
rest of the trial. As days become weeks,
however, and the attention subsides, the
real battle will take place in the
courtroom, and UCCR will be there for you.
We
encourage you to follow the progress of the
trial through our reports. If you
wish to attend, we suggest that you wait a
few days, perhaps a week or more, until
after the initial clamor subsides.
The trial might be more interesting then,
and the cameras will have found something
else to photograph.
So, here
we go. Expect the first report Monday
evening, and thereafter as events warrant,
although we will try to get something out to
you each day. During the trial, our mailing
list will serve to provide each of you with
factual information we can only trust from
each other. But after the trial's
conclusion, our ability to contact you will
become even more important.
Encourage all investors to register their
contact information with us and to add their
email address to our EBS mailing list.
To truth and law.
We thank you.
