Of course she didn't write the song, and the real defendant sorted out, but the case continued. Our entire goal was to try to keep the case moving so she would get deposed and we could meet her!
Instead, in a typical big firm move we swamped the local guy in discovery requests, and the lawsuit went away. We never met her, but I suppose by ending the case Willis and I have some small part in her legacy?
Detroit and the world are lesser for her passing.
