One of the Delaware defamation cases against the conservative Newsmax television network has seen filings challenging expert witness testimony pile up recently, and it’s not the one that’s going to trial in two months.
Smartmatic, the voting technology company represented by Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff, and Newsmax, represented by Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, Todd & Weld and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders, each filed a new batch of motions seeking all or part of the other side’s experts’ testimony to be excluded on July 18. It’s the latest in the back and forth between the parties that’s ramped up in recent months.
