Most trials are short, no more than few days or a week long. In this case, both sides would call expert witnesses in industrial scale calorimetry. I assume that would be HVAC engineers licensed in the state of Florida. Expert witnesses in court are usually licensed professionals. They would testify they read the report and tested the machine and they got thus and such results. You only have time for maybe 4 such experts. The rules are clear. Rossi would have to make the report available to all expert witnesses long before the trial, to give them time to make an evaluation. As soon as he did that, the report would be part of the lawsuit paperwork, and downloadable by everyone. I am not a lawyer but I do have some experience with technology related lawsuits, and I am sure that is how it works. > It can't think of any reason to do this beyond the fact that it would be > damaging. > Neither can I.

Anyway, as I said, I really do not understand why people here side with Rossi rather than I.H. What makes anyone that that I.H. is making the gigantic mistake rather than Rossi? Rossi has a history of making huge mistakes, such a when he almost blew up the people from NASA, with a blocked hose and no safety valve. - Jed
