Interesting. How many witnesses does it take to make something a fact?
It isn't so much the number of witnesses, it's more to do with their credibility. What's interesting in this case, according to the reporters' affidavits accepted by the plaintiffs in lieu of deposition testimony, is that apparently the board meetings where these statements were made may have been recorded. If this is a fact, and the recordings have somehow disappeared, that would be a very interesting comment on the credibility of the Board.
