The lawyer who was defending Sherwood in the libel suits, Robert C. Clothier of Fox Rothschild O’Brien & Frankel, is declaring victory, saying that plaintiff Kenneth Campbell’s sudden decision to drop his two lawsuits came on the eve of a series of depositions of his key witnesses.
“The last-minute withdrawal of the lawsuits on the eve of these depositions suggests a great trepidation about what would come out at the depositions,” Clothier said.
Clothier said that a friend of Campbell’s, Jon Bjornson, had brought a “copycat” suit against Sherwood last summer, but withdrew the suit early this year before any discovery had taken place."
Plame and Wilson if they have any sanity will do the same re their idiotic lawsuit, drop it the day before they get deposed.
Maybe P(flame) and Joe are planning on a timely withdrawal after the collection plate is passed.
