U.S. attacks a Microsoft videotape as misleading
Article Abstract:
In the Microsoft Corp. antitrust trial, the Government accused an executive of bringing in incorrect videotape as evidence in order to discredit a government witness who was important to the trial. The Microsoft executive, James Allchin, believed it was a mistake at first and then went on to state that in actuality, the correct tape was shown but there had been a problem with the system that made the wrong impression on the court. In any case, the issue of credibility arose from this incident.
