A lawyer’s ignorance of plant facts reveals that insiders lied to him.

Evidence

Listening to Cheeseman speak, it suddenly dawned on Love that perhaps the lawyer really did not know what had happened at the plant. Certainly Vin Forte, the plant manager, knew everything. If Cheeseman was in the dark, then Forte must have lied to the lawyers to protect himself. And Tommy Barbas must have lied, too. — , Harr Jonathan - A Civil Action, 885
