If I were a member of the J's team and settlement negotiations were being finalized, I would certainly want my opposition to keep silent. I would also want the 'captains' to be present. I believe Turley is in Texas, if for no other reason but to show respect for the defendents. It's a matter of honor at this stage of the game, especially for the Japanese representatives.
