“The Meltons would not have settled their case if they had known of the perjury and concealment of critical evidence,” their lawyer, Lance Cooper, said in a prepared statement. “It is now apparent that GM’s plan was to resolve the Meltons’ claims before disclosing the Cobalt ignition switch design changes.”
“I’m not just angry now,” Brooke’s father, Ken Melton, said at a press conference at Cooper’s Marietta law firm. “I’m hurt … they’d be so desperate not to disclose all the information. I feel like I’ve been lied to. … This is our daughter’s life we’re talking about.”
