Description
In the tenth week of a bitter trial, which promised to run months longer, a controversy erupted that ended the trial and concluded in the disqualification of the law firm for the eleven defendants. Under questioning by plaintiff's counsel, defendant Jack Weaver testified that his attorneys had shown him certain documents in their offices days before. Plaintiff's counsel sought the documents. Defense counsel denied having them or showing them to Weaver. Three days of hearing followed, in which defense counsel urged and reurged that a mistrial be declared because of the conflict they now faced with Weaver. Plaintiff's counsel expanded the argument to place in question the ethical propriety of the representation of all defendants by a single firm. By the third day all parties agreed, though for different reasons, that a mistrial must be granted. On the third day of hearing, when plaintiff's counsel joined the motion for mistrial, he added the oral motion that counsel for defendants be disqualified from representing any of the defendants in a future trial. Over defendants' objection that a ruling on the second motion was premature and should await further briefing and a hearing, the trial court granted both the mistrial and the motion to disqualify.
