494	65	X. No causation — Pohl's barratry was sole cause	No legally sufficient evidence of proximate cause. Pohl presented no evidence he would not have been sued for barratry absent Kassab's conduct. Pohl's criminal barratry was sole proximate cause (Peeler), or clients' decisions to sue were superseding/intervening cause (Stanfield). Kassab merely represented clients who decided to sue Pohl for committing barratry. Akin Gump standard: causation cannot be proved by conjecture or speculation.
