I also found a phone message looking for an expert witness for a PG accident case.

Shouldn't mone of *us* be the expert witness??
Mark, you'd be very credible.

[Mark G. Forbes]

They're trolling everybody in the country. No lawsuit has yet been filed, so I'd recommend just ignoring them. I presume plaintiff's attorney either doesn't know about our waiver or intends to find some way to invalidate it, which should be a tough argument in California given that our waiver is built on California case law and precedent.

A defense can run $100,000 to get it thrown out without an award to the plaintiff, and we typically don't get to recover legal expenses from plaintiffs. If you wonder why insurance costs have gone up, and legal fees, it's a string of attacks like this that are the answer.

More on that in a few days....

I already sent Mark this message

"well you are no expert, you never had an accident"

Just to be clear, the people who are calling aren't looking for an impartial
expert--they want someone who will testify that both the other pilot and
Torrey Pines Glider Port were wildly negligent and at fault in causing or
letting this accident happen.

List postings seem to be inversely proportional  to the possibility of good flying weather.

What if you said, "OK, cover my expenses and a stipend and I'll do it", then when you are under oath you tell the truth?

[Jay Z]

That could work, but you will also need to prepare an expert report, take a
deposition, and do other pre-trial work before you get to trial. If you
change your testimony at trial, you could conceivably be convicted of
perjury.

Well, you could tell the truth in your expert report, deposition, etc, but tell them that you had said what they wanted, and they might never actually read it, especially if you started out with some rambling philippic.
