But wouldn't the/a gag order prevent this?
DW's lawyer argued for a gag order but that was denied for now. Seems to me if he wanted to trash the VD's, then he would not want a gag order. Then, of course, his client is fair game as well if there is no gag order. If both sides agree or argue for a gag order, then perhaps there is truth to the swinging...can't have that get out if you are a lawyer for the VD's.
I did skim over that article..but hadn't read it in its entirety. Well, the gag order would be on evidence entered, I think..so it wouldn't hurt the van dams..unless their swinging lifestyle was a contributory factor and entered into evidence..
