Hi Kirk, there has been an interesting series of articles in the Detroit Free Press, about a two deaths related to the GM ignition recall.

Two young gals died in an accident related to a defective ignition switch. The Highway patrolman at the scene of the accident noticed that the ignition switch was in the off at the scene of the accident.

GM maintained the the girl in the back seat was not wearing a seat belt, and so they were not responsible for her death.

The GM lawyer at the trial maintained that the ignition switch being shut off ..."was an isolated incident"..and that he was not aware of any other "ignition switch problems"....both of these statements were under oath....and were obvious lies.

GM settled that lawsuit for a very small amount.

Now the families of the dead girls are suing GM again to have the case re-opened, because of the lies by GM's lawyers.

I hope that the lawyer for GM was one of the lawyers fired by Ms Barra

donating to charity at the cash register......my standard reply is..."I'll donate to your charity...if you donate to my happy hour"
