In my personal opinion only, there is no way Greene wants OCA EVER to have to go to a jury trial on this and have OCA get on the stand and testify in real words other than "....on the grounds this may incriminate me I plead the 5th...." Even if they delay and try to have ZFG wait longer until after the lying convictions appeal if Munyon rules that OCA does NOT have to answer any depo questions at this time, if her recent taking-of-the-5th stands, I do not think Greene will want this to go to trial sooner or later. I think they will offer a settlement. All depends on whether or not Ms. Gonzales is willing to settle or not, or go to trial with OCA taking the 5th and my understanding of what has been said is that the jury can take that 5th as a guilty admission from OCA. So Ms. Gonzales would "win" if OCA is never made to speak more than the 5th.
But I personally hope Ms. Gonzalez holds out for a jury trial, and waits until after the lying appeal is over, and makes OCA testify, and makes her give a personal, public apology.
I think also Greene just took this depo to the 12th hour because he could, I think Greene/OCA will try to settle.
All of this lawyer gamesmanship is driving me mad, and I know it goes on on both sides of the fence.
IMO, MOO, etc.
BBM. Yes, they are going to bank on that because if they settle, for let's say $150-$200k, they will still be bankrolling a few million from any future interview/book/movie deal. I don't think any of this will come through until FCA is off probation.
I want to see ZG stick to her guns and not to let down her guard on this one. I don't think JM would allow that. It's not just the money. To him, it's the chase to get to the bottom of everything-The Truth.
