Viewers can make out, just over fallen HP Chairwoman Patricia Dunn, her bespectacled lawyer, James Brosnahan.
That name may sound familiar to readers since Brosnahan, one of the West Coast's most respected lawyers, has been involved in a number of high profile cases, including serving as counsel for John Walker Lindh, the Marin youngster convicted of fighting for the Taliban.
Oddly enough, Brosnahan of Morrison and Foerster has also been mentioned in Wired News recently for another case: the Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit against AT&T for its alleged complicity in helping the NSA monitor American's email and internet usage without a warrant.
The EFF's case largely relies on documents and testimony from Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician who stumbled onto what he describes as an NSA spy room in AT&T's San Francisco switching station and who provided wiring documents that he says proves his allegations to the court.
Klein's current head counsel? The same James Brosnahan representing Dunn, who many blame for approving the HP investigation, though she blames HP, its CEO and its legal team.
Klein's original attorney, who is still on his legal team, was Miles Ehrlich, a former US attorney in San Francisco.
You might have glimpsed him in the webcast too. He's the attorney for Anthony Gentilucci, HP's former head of global investigation, who pleaded the Fifth today.
