The Los Angeles chapter of the Association of Business Trial Lawyers on Tuesday hosted a discussion of the Broadcom stock option prosecution for a night billed as "The Story Behind the Trial." The lawyers offered their analysis of why a federal judge in Orange County in December spontaneously acquitted one defendant, and threw out guilty pleas, civil charges and pending indictments against the remaining defendants.
