Summary

ExxonMobil alleges that the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office doctored a photograph of an Exxon station sign during a deposition. The Assistant Attorney General, Brian Clappier, presented a cropped version of the image that omitted a disclaimer about the company’s Synergy gasoline, which the full photo had already been introduced into evidence. Exxon claims this was done to elicit misleading testimony from a witness, while the Attorney General’s office disputes the allegation, calling it a mistake.
