Defamation Suit Against Jim Boeheim Has Been Dismissed

A lawsuit filed by two alleged victims of Bernie Fine against Jim Boeheim has been dismissed.  Judge Brian DeJoseph of the New York Supreme Court (in New York this is a trial court) in Onondaga County has dismissed the suit by stating the comments made by Boeheim “were likely to be an opinion—a biased passionate and defensive point of view of a basketball coach—rather than objective fact.”  The alleged victims’ counsel, Gloria Allred, has indicated they will appeal the decision.
