Thanks for posting that. Very good read even though it had one line that I found rather disturbing. It is sad how these companies treat people.

Ultimate Classic Rock's article. Looks like they tried get a hold of Meat for a comment, but he had travel commitments at the time.

Best information I could find (could be wrong) says that Meat did not testify at all because the case never made it to court. It claims that he was "'expected" to testify. If this is true he never did so according to this source. Very interesting case, lots of interetsing court documents.
