PCR Exhibits - Alaska State of Corruption

things that have to be done yet to the brief. Which is why as we’re writing if we eliminate things
like footnotes we don’t necessarily have to renumber and we don’t have to recreate the table of
contents pages which are real confusing and difficult to do at times. Ok so that is why I’m saying
I would like to be able to say by next week we are goanna go to work on the mechanics of
putting the brief together.
HAEG: Ok and that’s just – like I said that’s just the oh the …
OSTERMAN: All those tables I just talked about.
HAEG: Ok well I’ve already sent you most everything of what I felt of everybody – so.
OSTERMAN: Now we’re ready for you to talk. Remember I told you…
HAEG: Yep.
OSTERMAN: …until we had a draft we weren’t ready for you to say anything. Give us
the chance to get a draft together to find out what our shortcomings are for your standards.
HAEG: Well if you’ve got – I don’t even know how many pages it is if you’ve got to
pair it down to 20 pages there’s not goanna be much room for anything that I have to say.
OSTERMAN: Now listen there’s a – there’s a kind of a unwritten limit at 20. Ok. That
doesn’t mean we’re stuck at 20. It means we simply have to file that we’re filing a long brief.
That’s all.
HAEG: Ok.
OSTERMAN: Now I’m not concerned about it being over 20. Except that we’re too
long winded. When I read this brief I was asleep about the 6 th page.
HAEG: Ok.
OSTERMAN: Because the facts didn’t reach out and grab me.
HAEG: You said, “Boring is dead”.
OSTERMAN: That’s right. We cannot be boring. That’s why we started pairing down
the facts. Trying to get the facts to be a workable fact and the members of the Court of Appeals –
let’s face it these guys are sitting in there every single day and all they do is read these damned
briefs…
HAEG: Yeah. Well that’s their job isn’t it
OSTERMAN: Ok if I make it fun for them to read and interesting and hit them right
between the eyes immediately with the issues in the case.
