Court denies Jamie McCourt's request to be reinstated as Dodgers CEO [UPDATED]

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled there isn't a state law to support her bid to be reinstated. Her husband, Frank McCourt, fired her for allegedly not fulfilling her duties as CEO and for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate.
