If she filed it in court and she is proven to be lying, then she could lose her bar license. Again,
we have a woman who is clearly mentally unstable and then her one big cheerleader – a crazy guy with
a blog from Locust Fort. From all of that you have some lib paper/journalists in NY, LA and DC who
need little to run with a right wing/karl rove conspiracy story. Again, DJ Simpson and Glyn Wilson
substantiate NOTHING. It all started with a conference call – PROVE IT!!

Actually, Simpson’s affidavit has never been submitted to ANY court.

Good points, REALGOPGIRL. There’s been lots of talk of the statement, but nothing I’ve seen to verify it. She said she has “phone records” but has anyone asked her to produce them? And if not, why not?

I’ve read several places today that federal judges can take into account other charges of which the defendant has been acquitted when determining sentence. That doesn’t sound kosher when applied to any defendant. If prosecutors can’t prove their case well enough to get a conviction on all charges, why are they allowed a second bite at the apple (to borrow a “Law & Order” term) to demand punishment without conviction?

Other than the nut at the “Locust Fort” rag, has anyone ever tried to
verify anything that “Jill Simpson” has said? Has Jill Simpson ever
offered any PROOF to her claims other than submitting a sworn statement
in Georgia (why GA?)?? Has Jill Simpson or her one big fan (aka the
“nut” at the Locust Fort blog been asked to show phone records? Has she
said when these alleged calls took place? What a joke.

Oh Lord. The L.A. and New York papers are writing articles. They
must be true….yeah right. The Don and Richard are getting their
days in the sun. Good!

I’m not surprised it’s getting wider play from credentialed journalists; they’ll cover anything to avoid Arrowhead Ripper.

Surprised none of the major papers had a comment about a jury packed with goobers yet or the spontaneous demonstration put on for Scrushy’s benefit.

Did like Artur Davis’s take on this (see last Thursday’s B’ham News for more details) mentioned in the LA Times article.
