As a great American, Paul Harvey, used to say, here is the rest of the Judge Karsmitz story.

I had reviewed the motion to dismiss filed against Dr. Page. Based on my 26 years work in the area of defamation law, the motion should have been quickly denied. The complaint undisputedly set forth a valid cause of action under the well pleaded facts (which the Court must accept as true for purposes of ruling on a motion to dismiss).

After my license was revoked, Dr. Page retained Todd McMurtry to replace me. You know Todd. He worked with me as co-counsel on the Nicholas Sandmann cases before Nicholas terminated me as his counsel (but not before I successfully negotiated settlements foe Nicholas with CNN and the Washington Post).

Not surprisingly, I was told Todd did an excellent job on short notice at the Page motion to dismiss hearing.

Judge Karsmitz thereafter granted the motion to dismiss and threw Dr. Page’s libel case out of court.

I was not surprised. Are you?
