Sen. Harry Reid gets injured...

[Doc Safari]

This was beyond frivolously brought into he court room, and I would guess it was his position of power that had him thinking it would fly.

To refuse to even show the most basic of evidence is a slap in the face to the court, the jury, and all involved. I hope the company goes back after him and his estate.

It also suggests it really is a cover for what actually happened. Can't show the evidence because that would be perjury.

I thought judges had the power to not allow a case to go to trial if there was no evidence or corroborating witnesses? Why did this even get to court?

Because, if the judge dismisses the case on a motion to strike, it is appealed. The court of appeals reviews whether the judge correctly selected the law, whether the facts were sufficient, whether a reasonable jurist could have come to a different conclusion, etc., etc. The case gets remanded to further hearing/retrial after the court of appeals highlights the judge's mistakes in their appellate opinion.

If the judge lets it go to trial, the jury says "no." Nothing to appeal.

Plus, if you are judge that has some legislative confirmation to undergo to be reappointed, do you really want to mess with legislators who know people who know people that could block your reappointment?

Path of least resistance.
