Well it looks like DSK has nine lives (What is another name for cat? ). Yup after an investigation by the French Authorities of an alleged 2003 incident (Inspector Cluseau probably), they decided not to prosecute. As Gomer Pyle once said,"surprise, surprise ". They cited the three year statute of limitations as the overriding reason. Tough to argue with that. But, as I read it, the report may have found merit to some of the "sexual assault allegations". So the criminal side of DSK's legal problems are over..Now to the civil side.
Will be interesting to see if "the victim's " attorneys will be successful when they attempt to introduce details of the 2003 incident in their pending case to show notice of DSK's "voracious sexual appetite ".Did anyone say all you can eat?
As I see it, plaintiff's counsel will definitely seek this information via documents and testimony during discovery. This will surely be met with a motion for a protective order. Even if they get the discovery, their attempts at admissibility will definitely be met with an in limine motion(motion to preclude) by the defense.
Good stuff for the bar exam.
Anyway, DSK lives to "blow " dry his hair for another day, and to plan his next international "sexcapade ". He says he's sick of hotel maids..Looking at hotel masseuses now.
