LKB does not know what she is talking about... did she hear the testimony about this??? The DT was the one who made the decision to let Rodriguez go because they did not want him to lose his job... JP said he would have forced him to stay even if that meant putting him in jail if the DT wanted that but they said no.
I don't think that sounds like anything to sue about.. besides, word on the street is that the DT wasn't that interested in his testimony anyway b/c he agreed with the body being in the woods 4-6 months after cross at his examination PLUS the lie about him being the co-founder of the Body Farm. He was more of a liability at that point.
In addition, the JP said that the DT said it was fine to let him go b/c they had another witness who could testify to basically the same thing.
