Lies, Spies, and VideotapeREMEMBER THE MARIS CASE? Let's review: A-B terminated Florida distributor Maris, who then sued A-B for wrongful termination damages. Maris hired grandstanding attorney Willie Gary of Florida and his lieutenants Madison McClellan and Tricia Purks Hoffler, while A-B relied on Peter Moll, who all got rather nasty with each other during the three month trial. A jury verdict gave Maris $150 mm but Judge Buzzy Green reduced the ruling to $50 mm plus $22.6 mm in interest.
