I doubt so too, but think about it- as it stands, the court is sitting in equity anyway as the fact finder and law-decider...the BEST facts have been put forth by the city.... Maybe it's a bad idea, but maybe not a completely baseless idea, to move for a directed verdict. Assuming that should Judge Pechman decide NOT to give a directed verdict at this point, PBC still gets to present its principal case....


But then again, about 300 minutes are left of Seattle's time, which they are saving. If PBC tried a directed verdict, I assume those 300 minutes could be used. Meh, too complicated to figure out and a bad idea anyway, but it would be cool.
