If you choose to take it as a personal attack, that is up to you, but it should not be taken that way. As I think you pointed out in an earlier post, what you are expressing is your opinion and you don't need evidence. This is true. From what I have seen your opinion is based on innuendo leading to suspicion. This does not of course mean that it could not be true, but I have not seen any evidence to support it. Personally, I don't believe there is any to be found. You are nonetheless entitled to your opinion. If you do know of any actual evidence I remain interested in hearing about it.

If you think that some of my suspicions amount to conspiracy, then what suspicions are those? I have not expressed any suspicions that a conspiracy has taken place.
Since I was talking to a lawyer, I was using evidence in the legal sense of the word, i.e. something that would be presented in a court of law. If you want "evidence" from the stand point of what I base my opinion on, then here is the basics - (note all these links have been presented in other threads_
1) Judge Cote wrote most of her opinion before the trial - The initial report for this was the DeWitt story in fortune -

Judge Cote said herself that she at least wrote the outline of the opinion before the trial. Some have dismissed this saying it was just note taking, but it's not what she said.
2) The issue of per se and horizontal verse vertical - This is really the crux of the case and why I think it will be over turned. This Parloff piece gives the basics (

3) Judge Cote is known for per-deciding cases. This comes from the comments of her in the Robing room, a web site where lawyers rate and comment on various judges -

look at the comments from 2011 and back.
As far as the rest goes, what specific facts are you asking for evidence? I will point out that most of this stuff is fairly straight forward to find via google.
