trim posts? bah, who needs thats?

That is one of the reasons the FAA internal rules do not
allow their inspectors to ever act as PIC during a flight
test. The PIC gets sued. But how else would you do it?

There has been at least one case in the past where a CFI was riding in
the back seat and was still held to be liable due to having the highest
rating...
The FAA and NTSB is not above lieing and cheating and using someone for
a scapegoat if it suits their interest... Just look at the Moussai
trial where an FAA attorney has just now tainted witnesses by briefing
them on prior testimony that they were not entitled to know... Typical
of the FAA/NTSB

Do you have a reference to any documentation of this case?

Thanks,

Actually, the rule is the FAA goes after whoever will suffer the most
from the ruling. In this case, the live, CFI will. Given the choice
between a working ATP and a casual CFI, they'd go after the ATP with
a suspension.
