Wade Robson and James Safechuck are now asking the judge to combine their cases and allow them to go to trial together.
“This motion is made on the grounds that all actions arise out of the same type of harmful, abusive, course of conduct, by the same Defendants, at the same locations and physical places, in the presence of the same employees, employed by Defendants, during the same time period, in a pattern of abuse that was common to both Plaintiffs,” their lawyers stated in court documents.
“All matters involve common questions of law and fact; all matters will involve the same witnesses and their respective testimonies, and two separate trials may also result in entirely different verdicts and a waste of judicial resources,” the motion read.
“Complete consolidation and a single trial for all of these matters will significantly reduce redundant costs and delays and further serve the interests of judicial economy and convenience of all of those involved.”
It is clear that both men’s lawyers are realising that alone, they will lose the cases but now, joining forces, they might have a chance to fortify their lies and false accusations. The judge has still to decide to allow the merger of the two cases.
The trial conference on the motion is still set for February 28 before Judge Mark A. Young for the Robson’s case.
