Caught in the Web

Evans admits he made untrue statements in his latest court filing!  Evans just filed a motion where he admits he contacted the U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Case, 4 days before he contacted Freestone’s counsel, requesting a continuance of the Sentencing Hearing.  I guess when you get caught in a lie, and there is email documentation, one must admit that they lied.  Why wouldn’t he contact Freestone’s counsel on the same day he contacted the U.S. Attorney?  According to all of the motions filed in the Civil Case, the depositions were scheduled to take place on the SAME DAY as the Sentencing Hearing.  Doesn’t it make sense to contact Plaintiff’s counsel and give him the same courtesy that was given to the U.S. Attorney?  Or does it make more sense to play low ball legal tactics and wait till the last minute to cause an undue burden on the opposing side?  I’ve been in situations where I’ve had to change travel plans at the last minute.  It can be stressful and can get very expensive.  Then you add attorney’s fees on top of that!  This was a deliberate move (evidenced by the lie that Evans just admitted to).  I can’t believe the unethical tactics at play here.  I will be equally critical if the Plaintiff’s side pulls the same tactics during the duration of the Civil Case, but I would hope they are above this behavior.
