Diamond Dust Part 5

5: Paragraph 34 At the end of the evidence on 1 October, he gave us an expedited schedule for filing our written arguments because, he said, he wanted us all "to deal with this while it's hot and fresh in our minds." The last brief was submitted on 7 December 1991; as I write this, in June 1992, we're still waiting for him to deliver the verdict.

5: Paragraph 35 I know that he'll have to give us a decision sooner or later, and then one or both of us may appeal it, so this litigation may drag on for several more years, but it will eventually be over, and I'll be able to get on with my life. In the hope that this year will see the end of this case, which has cluttered up my present and future for more than six years, I've written the story now, for two reasons: Personally, when the case finally ends, I don't want to have to think about it anymore; politically, this information should be stirred into the mix upon which we'll base our electoral decisions in November.
