Now they're arguing about a text sent by Travis to Anthony that included a link to the Michael Douglas speech in the movie Wall Street,

ALSUP: I remember. Best moment in all of Hollywood.

Uber wants to exclude a "free-floating work of fiction" as irrelevant. It's not something Travis actually said.

(This is the Michael Douglas "Greed is Good" speech lmao)

ALSUP: Let’s say it’s totally fictional…. But if Levandowski is saying this guy is telling my story, agree agree agree, why isn’t that admissible?
Afficher cette discussion -
WAYMO: I think it’s highly relevant to show that these guys were in cahoots. Shows their state of mind and is highly probative for the jury to see that these guys were talking in this manner.

Not sure if hyperbole but Waymo is saying that the text says "wink-wink" and then is a link to the youtube video lol

Alsup won't allow Waymo to say that Kalanick was removed as CEO because of this lawsuit, says there were like "five other things" that got him removed. It would be misleading to tell the jury it was this lawsuit.

Waymo asks if they can say it was a *factor." Alsup refuses, says that's just going to open the door to get into "all the other stuff." ALSUP: This is a trick. I’m not going to fall for it.

@susie_c wake up the best thing ever just happenedAfficher cette discussion -
Uber is skittish about AL's 5th amendment thing coming up in court.
Afficher cette discussion -
ALSUP: Levandowski is maybe the central witness in this case. The jury will be wanting to hear from him. If he’s not brought in, they’re going to say Waymo hasn’t proven its case.
Afficher cette discussion -
ALSUP: I think it’s very likely it will come into evidence but we got to wait and see how this whole case develops.
