Schenectady Attorney Commences Action for Libel Based on Comments Made on Local Message Board

David at f/k/a found this fascinating story about a local colleague of mine:

Romolo Versaci , an elderly Schenectady (NY) lawyer, has filed a $100,000 defamation suit against Diane C. Richie, an unemployed social worker and widow with two children. Versaci claims -- and Richie admits -- that she called him a "so-called attorney" on a SchenectadyNY.info message board.

Here is a reprint of the article in the Schenectady Daily Gazette about the defamation suit. Notes from the (Legal) Underground also found this article interesting.

Thank you f/k/a for the links and story.
