Such would not only be a ratty thing to do, it would actually be unusual in similar circumstances.
I fully expect Feldman to remain active on DW behalf and to file appeals desperately against any guilty verdict, work that will exceed very quickly what he has ALREADY done, let me tell you. Yet as you say it is doubtful he will be paid any more for that than he has already received.
How can you be so certain Feldman is a louse? I will bet against you and say he isn't. We will see who is right.
