Wal-Mart's best hope is that they will find ways to impede the discovery process, making it so costly for her side that they will relent. But if her attorneys are motivated by the prospect of beating Wal-Mart and really believe she has a case, that approach may not succeed. And Wal-Mart may disprove some of her allegations. But a lot of people will probably not read further than the first few paragraphs of any news coverage, so Roehm's charges are likely to stick in the minds of some, no matter what the outcome. And if her charges about Scott hold up, his days are numbered (he is already under pressure for lackluster sales).
