Mary, assuming the Supreme Court does affirm that it's not legal to force someone to trial prior to a ruling on their appeal of being denied a Motion to Strike, which I think they should, what would be the likely result? Logically (according to me, a non-lawyer), one would assume the first step would be to "suspend" the trial and ask the appellate court to make a ruling. I think it safe to say (based on the trial results, which, granted, should never have taken place), that you'd lose the appeal. Then what? Un-suspend the trial? Order a new one? If I had to choose, I'd say they'd probably order a new trial simply because of the undue burden placed on you and your attorneys in being forced to trial. Won't that be fun.
