Gary Condit's Own Attorney Wants Out

Condit_3"It's been my observation that plaintiffs in defamation cases can become so emotionally invested that it is very, very difficult for them to disengage. They will pursue libel suits beyond what any normal person would do." - Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, in McClatchy.

Facing sanctions for possibly filing a frivolous lawsuit, Gary Condit's lawyer wants to be removed from Condit's defamation suit against author Dominick Dunne. Condit presses on with his claim, however. Chandra Levy's death remains unsolved.
