Chevron even won access to hours of unused footage from a documentary film about the lawsuit. In each instance, Chevron is searching for evidence of improper conduct by the opposing lawyers, evidence the company hopes will show that the trial has been tainted…Ilann Maazel, [a] lawyer on the plaintiffs' team, called the spate of subpoenas a last-ditch attempt to undermine the trial before the judge reaches a verdict, possibly next year. [also refers to Texaco, Petroecuador]
