===== Unanswered Questions =====
‬Who is the unnamed second legal team Peters says will be joining the case‭, ‬and to what ends‭?‬

  - **Representing Additional Defendants‭?** \\ ‬For Peters and‭ [[Axanar Productions]], securing legal representation is certainly newsworthy but raises still more questions than it answers‭. ‬For example‭, ‬potential conflicts of interest mean it's not likely‭ [[Winston & Strawn]] can represent the 20 [[Does]] cited in CBS' complaint‭, ‬so is this new legal team intended to represent those people‭ (‬yet to be named‭)? \\ \\ ‬If the answer is no‭, ‬or even just some‭, ‬then those additional defendants have been left by Peters to twist in the wind‭, ‬personally and financially liable for some measure of [[summary of the lawsuit#statutory damages|damages in the lawsuit]] ‬and open for CBS to co-opt to testify against Axanar‭. \\ \\
  - **Another Legal Defense?** \\ ‬Another possible reason for bringing another legal team on board is that Axanar may be trying to set up another [[legal defense|defense]], ‬in addition to those [[ranahan_interview_1_27_16|mentioned so far]] by Winston‭ & ‬Strawn's‭ [[Erin Ranahan]].
