General Motors and its lawyers obstructed justice in shielding documents related to fuel-fed fires in its vehicles, but did not suborn perjury, a Fulton judge ruled. The ruling Tuesday stems from allegations the automaker and its lawyers committed various crime and frauds in concealing the existence and contents of a 1973 engineer's report. Brogdon wrote that he found no evidence that GM, its in-house lawyers or outside counsel caused or influenced the engineer to lie at deposition.

Big Media Want FCC Regs Case Heard

A group of large media conglomerates wants the Supreme Court to take up the issue of how many media entities a company can own in any individual market. Six cases that present the issue have been brought by media giants -- including NBC Universal, Viacom, the Gannett Co. and the National Association of Broadcasters -- and are set for review at the Court's private conference Thursday.

Houston lawyer Harry C. Arthur touched a nerve in one homeless man when Arthur filed a suit seeking to shut down a church-sponsored operation that provides meals and services for homeless people, on the grounds that the center is a "private nuisance."

Lie-tery Winners

Over the years, some very decent people have shaken my hand, smiled in my face and then lied to me -- under oath, says D.C. lawyer Michael Jones. At first Jones says he was offended. Then he came to expect it. But now he thinks something needs to be done about it because the oath has become virtually meaningless. Lawsuits often generate what Jones calls lottery lies. Even grandmothers and cops play the game.
