Questions & Answers Regarding the Clinton Courier-News Article of July 29, 2001


QUESTION: WHY HAS THE CLINTON COURIER-NEWS NOT PUBLISHED YOUR LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR?

ANSWER: Your guess is as good as mine. Looks like they can dish it out but can't take it...

Jim Ramsey, District Attorney General


QUESTION: WHY HAVE YOU NOT PUBLISHED THE OFFENDING ARTICLE ON YOUR WEB SITE?

ANSWER: It is libelous. It names names and calls people guilty who have been acquitted.

Apparently the newspaper in publishing the article and the MADD lady in making her statements made a judgment that they have no assets subject to lawsuit.

Jim Ramsey, District Attorney General
