Yesterday, [the MilbergWeissJustice.com] webmaster discreetly deleted from the site the statement that Bershad�s lawyer had made for him on July 16, 2006, when he suggested that prosecutors brought the case as retribution for a life of �standing up for the powerless,� called the indictment �a disgrace,� and denounced the charges as �utterly baseless.�

Milberg Weiss & Bershad is now just Milberg Weiss. Roger Parloff continues his fine reporting. The New York Times reports that Steven Cooperman will add his guilty plea today.
