ok. Not sure I see the connection. I said two things, first that the settlement was contingent on the outcome of Apple's appeal and second the Justice Department's response to Apple's appeal. Neither had anything to do with Apple's lawyers or Johnny destroying Julie's backpack.
Certainly, lawyers say all sorts of thing to get their client off, though they would be open to sanctions if they are caught in an out and out lie. Lawyers are considered officers of the court and as such have certain responsibilities.
As far as I know, Apple's appeal makes no claims that Apple should get off because someone else is doing something wrong. Apple's appeal is basically that they did nothing wrong and that Judge Cote misapplied the anti-trust law. They also throw in a couple of other things (because you never know what will stick with a particular judge), but I would imagine that the appeal will come down to this.
