A San Diego venture capitalist’s fraud case against JAMS Inc. is taking on water. And the superior court judge presiding over the trial is openly musing about firing another torpedo.

JAMS and retired appellate justice Sheila Sonenshine began presenting their defense last week to Kevin Kinsella’s claim that they padded Sonenshine’s online resume. JAMS presented business associates who vouched for Sonenshine’s accomplishments and family law experts who said her handling of Kinsella’s marital dissolution was by the book. JAMS even presented testimony from two of Kinsella’s former divorce lawyers and his ex-wife’s current divorce attorney, Sharon Blanchet.
