Lou led them down the wrong path. Did he? Or was he so out of it that he didn't notice? If he led them down the wrong path, then the lawyers will have to produce emails and/or other documentation to substantiate such a scenario. But I don't think that scenario is plausible because of the way the court was notified of the existence of the emails in question. The fault could be with some of the QCOM engineering staff, or it could be with the outside lawyers, who themselves were too lazy to check or ask for alternative documents. Of course everyone will try to avoid taking blame. The lawyers themselves, at the point where they recognized something was wrong, could have (1) requested an adjournment in order to produce the documents or (2) withdrawn from the case on the ground that they were incorrectly informed, or (3) worked out an out-of-court settlement, acknowledging a fatal error right then and there.
