CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas,
May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bob
Hilliard, appointed by the Federal Judge in the GM MDL litigation
to be the lead attorney for all personal injury and death cases
caused by GM's defective ignition switch responds to the
New York Times' report of GM's criminal
wrongdoing.
Hilliard states, "It has seemed clear for some time that crimes
were likely committed. A careful review of the documents supports
the conclusion that GM's conduct was surely criminal and that there
was a cover-up after the fact."
"With Judge Gerber's recent finding that GM engineers and GM
lawyers knew this defect would kill people and nothing was done,
coupled with deaths and injuries continuing still today, it appears
the Justice Department may have decided it's time to send a
message to the car industry. Not one involving just fines but
orange jump suits."
"GM only feigns remorse when there is a threat of handcuffs.
Yet, at the same time GM is pleading for its corporate life with
the Department of Justice and trying to work out a sweetheart
deal--right down the hall of the same courthouse in the civil court
room GM denies any responsibility, for the hundreds of deaths and
injuries caused by its defective ignition switch, declaring it has
no fault and that it did nothing wrong. This is the epitome of
corporate disingenuousness."
"GM is actively denying wrongdoing in the civil litigation.
Hundreds of injuries and deaths caused by this defect and, at the
same time GM negotiates with the Justice Department to plead
guilty, it instructs its civil lawyers to deny fault and make each
victim spend millions to try and prove their case."
"I call on GM to finally and completely do the right thing and
concede full responsibility for this tragedy. Instead of
compounding the misery of the victims by prolonging the civil
litigation."
