Did GM and its lawyers suborn perjury in Ga. case? Claim is lawyers knowingly let a GM witness give false pretrial testimony
Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp must defend themselves themselves against subornation of perjury claims in a 1998 Georgia wrongful death suit. The charges are that a key GM witness gave false pretrial evidence on many occasions while knowing GM lawyers sat quietly by and let it happen. This witness, engineer Edward Ivey, is charged with lying under oath in numerous lawsuits when giving evidence about a crash-safety report he wrote 25 years ago. The wrongful death suit was filed on behalf of a woman whose husband died from burn-related injuries in a 1997 auto accident.
