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.
I do agree strongly with the bolded part above. AA is counting on its shills like Gary to carry water. And he dutifully does.
I'm am generally not a fan of the plaintiffs bar and our sue-happy system, but with so few facts available this feels like a knee-jerk reaction, particularly how strong and definitive the reaction is. And given the sensitivity of the subject at hand I stand by my 'Ew, gross' reaction.

Let the countdown begin...
Hey, a man's gotta eat. It's not like playing armchair lawyer is going to pay many bills!
