DOJ v PRH: Judge Tosses PRH Exec Testimony - Publishers Weekly

Panzer has your daily dollop of news from the Publishers Weekly site about the Department of Justice's (DOJ) case to stop Penguin Random House (PRH) from acquiring Simon and Schuster (S&S).

 

She's right.

Today's Publishers Weekly post is a doozy. According to the post by Ed Nawotka, Judge Florence Pan tossed out the testimony by PRH's Manuel Sansigre. Included in the post are extensive quotes from the testimony and a breakdown of the judge's questions and why she excluded the testimony. Following that decision, approximately the last third of the post describes testimony by Yale Professor Edward Snyder about agents and author advances.

Panzer says, "It's interesting why she threw out his testimony."

 

Note: This is an extremely long post. Bring a thermos of iced tea, a muffin, a brownie, and a bowl of ice cream.
