Despite a mountain of evidence and days of testimony, a courtroom gallery can catch its collective breath or a verdict can turn with a single powerful moment in a lawyer's closing or an intense back-and-forth with a key witness. Three of the most memorable moments in CVN's trials last month include: 

Miami—PricewaterhouseCoopers settled a $5.5 billion accounting negligence case against it, midway through a Florida state court trial over the accounting giant’s alleged responsibility for failing to detect widespread fraud that led to the collapse of one of the nation’s largest home mortgage lenders. Taylor Bean & Whitaker Plan Trust v. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 2013-033964-CA-01.
