The words have already been spoken and the jury has already heard it. How can the Appellate court say this was "harmless"? Also, why didn't Morganthau ever answer the question when being asked, "Is this grand larceny when people are taking money that is owed to them?" If the bonus' owed were part of a contract, signed off by the board and approved by the board - how can any one be charged with Grand Larcecy? This whole case should be dismissed. You are wasting tax payers money and you continue to make the Tyco stock volatile!! Let Dennis and Mark out which in turn will enable Tyco and its subsidiaries to continue with business as normal. Morganthau messed up by not answering the question and allowing David to testify. Shame on you Morganthau - maybe you should think about retiring!
