It's unreasonable to say no one can share their opinion about a case other than a Judge. Gary isn't throwing the case out.

A case like this is filed knowing it will play out in the media. You take a risk as to whether the sympathies of your client will increase settlement leverage or whether public opinion will go the other way.

This isn't a good thing or a bad thing; it's the reality. A good plaintiffs lawyer rarely goes to trial.

Again, I'm not a Gary fan boy at all, but this is an insane criticism.
