Gates' appearance next week would be his first in-person appearance at the trial. In the main portion of the trial, Gates appeared in a videotaped deposition. In portions of that videotape, Gates repeatedly answered questions with "I don't know" and "I don't recall." His statements were frequently contradicted by e-mails he had sent and received, and he frequently claimed no recollection of the messages.
Now that is a rather critical statement. :)
I'm thinking this is going to go over bad for MS. Bad in a Big Way.
The states will be watching for ANY chance to pull up the sound bites from his deposition and the media will just eat up any stumbles on Bill's part.
Dumb move, MS.
