Regina Hackett says she expects to hear this afternoon from Chihuly’s lawyer some clarifying information that will explain the discrepancy between her report in this morning’s P-I and what Rubino’s lawyer claims now. I’ll post when I hear, so we can finally know whether this lawsuit is settled, or in negotiations, or sort of settled, or what.

(Hackett did say that she regrets not having called Rubino’s lawyer yesterday. But, she says, she called Rubino six times, and for previous stories, he has talked with her—he has always only spoken to me off the record, and referred me to his lawyer for on-the-record comments—so she thought he was still open to talking on the record, and just refusing comment.)
