Hiya Sub - thanks for the new Barylick lecture, even if it sent my blood pressure soaring.
Did you ever wonder why Barylick doesn't stick with Butler's sound but instead uses Pickett's? I wonder if it's just too uncomfortable for him to try and explain the obvious sounds of Butler dislodging the lower black metal panel--and thereby saving multiple lives--which, of course, you don't get with Pickett's sound.
I think Butler was a martyr whose truth was sacrificed to get big money for survivors--which didn't hurt what % the lawyers got as well. Just saying....
It bothers the hell out of me ethically, and yet falsely disparaging Butler gave the survivors the big bucks they truly needed.
Barylick told me this once in a note: "The book describes the facts in the light most favorable to my clients for the purposes of the litigation." I hear this as, "To get big $ for my many deserving clients, I need to fudge the truth even if it unfairly ruins a man's reputation forever. Why worry about one man when we got all this money for 310 people?" So there's a real quandary here.
And what is Barylick's issue with the facts lately? He was way wrong about the number of people that got out the front door. And now--I mean, why oh why, with all the witness statements publicly available, does he say that only ONE non-employee got out the kitchen door? At least 14 patrons escaped via that exit. They are: Paul Braga, Steve Burgess, Jason Cooley, David Corey, Gilbert Diorio, Matthew Dussault, Stephen Eldridge, Geno Goguen, Mike McGee, Sam Miller, Jennifer Stocks, Jeff Ward, Robert Luxton, and Phillip Barr.
Barylick better not come to my local Connecticut library, or he's going to get a real earful at Q and A.
