In a civil matter, both sides have the right of “discovery” and can quite literally force any party to the action to answer, under penalty of perjury, any questions posed to them regarding any claim or assertion. Mrs. Santangelo could buttonhole one or more of the top executives and put their backs to the wall. Furthermore, she could subpoena records and documents of the cartels and/or their various clients, thus exposing the myths and downright fallacies being perpetrated by those esteemed gentlemen of the entertainment industry. I studied law for several years, but eventually decided against making it a career. Thus, it has been quite a while since I’ve poked my nose into a law book; but anyone defending himself or herself, without benefit (?) of legal counsel, can be considerably more effective against the adversary, who will not be expecting, nor be prepared for, the piercing and penetrating questions which a defendant has every right to ask and to which he or she has every right to expect answers, no matter how revealing or expository. To be sure, one would have to submerse oneself into the project with a zeal bordering on fanaticism, and would have to create a solid understanding of the sequence of events which led to the filing of the original claim. One would have to meticulously prepare the questions and be prepared to stave off elusive answers and diversions designed to derail the purpose of the Discovery; one would have to be able to return, doggedly, to the matter at hand until one got the answers to satisfy the intent of the questions. It gets involved, but it can be a deliciously satisfying experience. I know, because I once acted as my own counsel in a civil suit, from which I emerged victorious. The plaintiffs were not expecting such a spirited and vigorous defense. Like our friends in the **AAs, they usually dealt with cases that fell into place for them, requiring little or no effort on their parts. At the conclusion of the court trial, the judge asked me how much time I had spent on the case. When my answer revealed that I had spent countless hours working on it, he banged his gavel and said “Well, it seems that it was time well spent.” So go get ‘em, Mrs. Santangelo! Then counter-sue!! They, like so many of their victims, will probably settle out of court!
