Attorneys representing former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore say they have filed claims for slander and defamation against Leigh Corfman, and demanded a trial by jury.

Corfman filed a lawsuit against Moore in January, accusing him of making unwanted sexual advances at her when she was 14, and he was 32. She says Moore and his 2017 U.S. Senate campaign defamed her.

Melissa Isaak, one of Moore’s attorneys said in a statement, “This is and has been a political attempt to smear the good name and reputation of Judge Roy Moore, and we will not let this injustice continue. Yesterday, we filed claims for slander and defamation against Leigh Corfman, and claimed damages for attorney fees under the Alabama Litigation Accountability Act.” Isaak says they are also continuing to argue that this case should be tried in Etowah County instead of Montgomery County.

Moore and his legal team have filed a petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals. They are asking the court to order the Montgomery County Circuit Court to transfer the case to Etowah County where both the plaintiff and he live.

1. They are banking on getting a jury of deplorables.

13. Indeed. Guess Moore never learned that there comes a time when you need to Let It Be

14. Gonna be hard to find a jury of his peers.

How many child-molesting, impeached Chief Justice, gun-toting, senate-campaign-losing yahoos are there in his county, anyway? Not enough to fill a jury box, I'll bet.

2. I guess she will need a G-F-me page.

He, being a public figure will have a tough time pursuing this... especially with his background in shopping malls.

15. We can also put together a G-F-Yourself page for Moore.

3. Smear his good name and reputation ...

6. He was laying hands on those girls to heal them in the name of Gawd

[CatMor]

8. Thats right....

I forgot, hes one of those: good Christian men.

4. The finding will be for the tarnishment of his reputation he will receive on ha'·pen·ny

... QB7 😀

5. He has the burden of proving her statement was false

Under a preponderance of the evidence. And she can raise the fact he was a public figure which makes it even harder for him to prevail.

7. Where's her legal fund?

[Bengus81]

10. That's what I was wondering--A Go Fund Me

[marble falls]

11. If I find one, I'll get back to you.

[Liberalagogo]

9. You can't smear what you never had.

12. Did Moore finally raise some money to pay his attorneys?

16. Try digging a little deeper in the well, well, well....

So appropriate that this song features the Blind Boys of Alabama.

17. She'll have a nice claim for malicious prosecution after his turd of a case is thrown out. nt

18. Why in the world won't he just look at himself. He must be growing a beard, how could he look...

at himself in the mirror every day if he were shaving?
