Year 2, week 41: bombshell

What a week I’ve had.  After having received the papers from WhistleBlower, I spent the next couple of days both reading them and following up leads. They’re basically a bunch of accounts which show payments to a number of companies around the world. In themselves they wouldn’t have meant a great deal were it not for a memo which accompanied these accounts which suggested that these monies were ultimately reaching certain supposedly independent experts who have completed various supposedly independent reports on the safety of wireless technology. Worse than that, there is also another memo which suggests that one of these experts had completed a report which suggested that the technology was dangerous only to ‘change his mind’ on the issue after the payments were made.

Well, as you can imagine if I was able to prove any of this then it would be a bombshell. Not only would it show that the wireless company were potentially bribing the experts but it would also show that they were aware of the dangers of the technology but failing to warn people.

With OldSmoothie away and trial rapidly approaching I’ve been having to track down further evidence on these issues and have enlisted TheBoss’s help in this regard. I’ve also been having to consider how to use this evidence in the case itself and have made a last minute application to rely on new evidence which will be heard next Wednesday.
