Commission attorneys walked out en masse rather than join Moses’ trial

Evidence

On June 4, Pollack was not in court. One of his four colleagues told Strong—falsely—that Pollack was occupied in another courtroom. Strong said the trial was going on anyway. “We will not participate,” Pollack’s colleague said—and all four commission attorneys walked out of the courtroom, leaving the commission without counsel. — Robert A.
