The second guy who spoke in defense of espy was named Joe (didn't get the last name)

When asked why we settled for 34 million Harry looked for someone to take the question, I think Merritt deferred or looked unready (that's a memory part, not notes) and Howard stepped up. He gathered himself and said it was a business judgement, he said he couldn't share everything but it was a risk judgement. He said the deal was a momentum builder and that Sony/Ericsson would have been separate from Ericsson. (I think this inferred that we'd have to go after them seperately in the courts). He also said you never can tell about a jury trial.
