The large and powerful forces have met a new reality: the law.Just when I was thinking that only corporations with lots of money can have legal victories, along comes an objective moment where truth matters. After literally decades of having his name trashed by the unions and other powerful forces in the state, a Marion county judge has decided to allow the truth to speak.
Bill Sizemore's case will allow discovery - the ability to cross-examine witnesses, scan emails, examine documents. Looking for a smoking gun that would show a concerted action to engage in lies to disable him politically.
Remember he ran for Governor as a Republican this past spring. Prior to that his opponents engaged in direct mailings which included false statements such as "Sizemore is a convicted racketeer" which were patently false.
What is the penalty for false political statements with evil intent? I will be watching to see how this plays out. More details can be found at: http://nwrepublican.blogspot.com/2010/07/breaking-hard-judge-guimond-rules.html
