Where's the Book?

[Yancy Derringer]

Or did Zurlini figure that since he no longer had government immunity he didn't need to be a "co-defendant" in a major defamation lawsuit?

I suspect that's part of it. Also what did Zucchini do? He was a state employee. The charges were federal. What's he going to do, brag about how poorly he did his job?

The obvious answer is that Zucchini was never going to "co-author" anything, and that Gollum just put his name on the grant app to make it more appealing to those doling out the checks.

What does a physics prof know about legal issues? Jack shit, as we have seen. But having an AG on the ticket--even one that didn't have anything to do with the actual case--creates credibility in the minds of those who don't know better. Another Gollum snow job.
