Lisa Shoman will remain government's lead counsel in this case - which has earned her the ire of her party, the PUP. Today, her former colleague in the Senate, who's now arguing across the table from her, says Shoman has made her decision:
Eamon Courtenay, SC - Attorney for the Claimants
"It seems to me, very clear. She has made common cause with the UDP. She is now working with the UDP. She's now being paid by the UDP. She is for the UDP. There are consequences for your decisions and your actions. That's all I am going to say about Miss Shoman."

"In terms of your membership in the People's United Party, that's what I was getting at."
Lisa Shoman, SC - Attorney for GOB
"You had better asked Party Leader Briceño about that. As far as I am concerned, I am a member of the People's United Party. And until the day I am not a member of the People's United Party, that's my political affiliation. But, honestly, that's neither here nor there. I don't forget that it is the People's United Party who started this process in 1999, and even before then, and that it has been carried on as a bi-partisan process for many years."

"Are those comments any indication that she will face repercussions from the party?"
Hon. John Briceño - Leader of the Opposition
"I think that Senior Counsel Lisa Shoman has made her decision. She decided that she wants to work for the UDP, and we have to respect that."
