There were nine people in the room: me, Ruben Duran, plaintiffs’ counsel and two associates, two lawyers for the company, one for the individual defendants, and a court reporter named Ms.

Ligaya Ocampo whose name I know because you say it into the record.

Plaintiffs’ counsel was a man named Grant Ozaki.

He was about fifty, he was extremely polite for six hours and forty minutes, and he was the most formidable person I have ever been in a room with, including two colonels and a woman who ran a four-billion-dollar company.

He spent the first ninety minutes on things that did not matter.
