The same thing he himself ran away from doing because he knew he'd get caught out in his lies.
LOL... it's obvious
you know very little of the judicial process.
Lehrmann did not "run away" as you put it. He chose his legal
right to not be cross examined. As the
plaintiff Higgins was
legally bound to be cross examined by the defendant's counsel.
If a
plaintiff doesn't show up in court, and the
defendant asks the
court, then it may dismiss the case without prejudice.
That Lehrmann's defence decided it was best for him to face his
trial
in absentia, it was always a risky move, but as it turned out
by a quirk of fate, it was the best one.
