All of the witnesses on the first panel are pleading the Fifth as I write this. The witnesses are Ann Baskins, Kevin Hunsaker, Anthony Gentilucci, Ron DeLia, and owners and subcontractors to Action Research.

The committee is seething that the entire panel pled the Fifth, since only two witnesses previously said they would do so. One representative called the hearing a "waste of the committee's time, a waste of witness's time."

The second panel is Dunn and Sonsini. They're being sworn in now.
