The worse error was made by Covington. They should have picked up the erroneous evidence in the post trial discovery documents. Then quickly call for the court to examine what was uncovered, citing the gravity of the information would change the ruling. This action would have given DU an opportunity to fix a glaring mistake, while helping DU to save face, maybe, to an extent perhaps. At the end of the day, fraud is a big thing, especially since the Judge incorporated said fraud in her ruling.
