That arouses my suspicions immediately. Was Henrich so addled that he needed long pauses to get up the wind to answer questions? Or was he studying his lines, being coached, etc.? What really happened during those lapses? Add that to allegedly missing footage of really good comments and you have some very questionable evidence at the heart of the debate. We have a "colorful" history on the transaction populated with people attesting to facts who have six-figure financial incentives to puff up those facts, including a family exploiting a very old man for profit. Does that add up to an A10 item? Anyone ever heard the word "bias" before?

As far as Robert Plancich goes, my client is reserving his comments on the case until after the case is over. He's never said that the bat was not a DiMaggio bat but questioned the integrity and the candor of the financially interested authenticator who vouched for it as unquestionably an A10 streak bat given the facts that were disclosed and undisclosed. Had SCDA and the others answered the questions about the bat authentication process up front and acknowledged up front that the authenticator stood to profit from the sale, perhaps there would be no continuing public furor over it. Suffice it to say that if this matter progresses beyond the initial pleading stages all of the evidence in its unaltered form will come to light.
