A Texas law firm faked evidence and tried to bribe witnesses in a products liability case, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday in San Antonio by the DaimlerChrysler Corporation.The lawsuit follows an appeals court decision last year that dismissed the products liability case and imposed sanctions of $865,000 against three of the firm's lawyers. The appeals court called the firm's conduct "an egregious example of the worst kind of abuse of the judicial system."
The main plaintiff's lawyer, Robert A. Kugle, has fled to Mexico, according to this article from The New York Times, which makes it pretty clear why the public disdains lawyers. (via Overlawyered.com)
