Papa John’s founder John Schnatter said Tuesday that the company had used his books-and-records lawsuit to embarrass him rather than present evidence at trial that he was not entitled to documents related to his ouster from his roles as chairman and CEO.

In a post-trial brief filed late Tuesday, Schnatter’s attorneys said Papa John’s had waged a campaign to attack their client’s credibility, calling him ”confused” and “coy” and otherwise trying to “not so subtly imply that he is a liar.”
