Killed were Uxbridge mother-of-three Suzana Brito, 48, and retired Florida accountant Gary Poltash, 64, who has two grown children.

If O’Leary has hired Greenspan, it marks a turnaround from comments made by another legal eagle hired by the brash businessman.

Lawyer Joseph Groia, who represents O’Leary in general matters, told the Globe and Mail, “In my judgment, Kevin doesn’t need a lawyer.”

Now, according to the Post, O’Leary has turned to Greenspan as apparent inconsistencies arose last week over his earlier comments regarding the crash.
