We Promise You'll Enjoy All The Exasperated Yelling In This New Rich Media NYT Lawyer Video
Good on the NYT for trying to keep up with the Cool Kids of New Media. For example, they've started Op-Docs, which are basically short editorial documentaries. Great idea, terrible name. Anyway, this week's Op-Doc is the dramatization of a ridiculous legal transcript. Now, the transcript in question is no Donald Sterling lawsuit transcript, but it's pretty good.
The case itself was a relatively boring dispute about how much the County Recorder's office could charge for records, but somehow turned into a complete knock-down drag-out fight over what a photocopier was as the Recorder's Office employee sought to avoid answering the question.
Was the intent to get the witness to crack? Because it sure felt like perp sweating to me.
