I have talked to our attorney recently, though on another issue/potential lawsuit we may file other than the one already filed.
Last we spoke about the GFSZ lawsuit all parties had responded except Manitowoc. That was several weeks ago, I presume Manitowoc has responded by now but I haven't seen their response.
Once Manitowoc responds my understanding is the attorneys for all parties will "talk" but the next notable happening will be when the judge rules on the motions to dismiss.
Each defendant (except Manitowoc which I haven't read yet if they have) has made a motion to dismiss (those documents are all up on the WCI site) and our attorney has filed his response to those motions to dismiss. The judge will read the defendants motions to dismiss and our attorneys brief why they shouldn't be dismissed and rule on those. If he agrees with the defendant and dismisses, we can then appeal that dismissal (and finally be at a court that has binding precedential value). If the judge agrees with our attorney's arguments why they shouldn't be dismissed, we proceed towards trial. Before the trial I believe discovery will take place, depositions, etc.
Other recent happenings, a letter was sent to Frank by the Racine DA completely vindicating him of any wrongdoing and expressing errors the DA made in a previous letter to Frank following the incident. I will have copies of those letters uploaded to the WCI site and made available for review.
