The jury believed the plaintiffs and did not believe Spitzer. 84 is not half dead. My friend was 95 and sharp as a tack when she finally stopped driving a few years ago due to failing eyesight. Impeccable driving record and incredible mind. Let’s leave the agism at the door. The jury believed these gentlemen were the victims of discrimination. Spitzer had his day in court and was not believed.
Good question. Mine is whay is there not a statute of limitation on cases like this. No offense to anyone, but how can an 84 year old man defend himself against something that happened 10 years ago. Even if he is not affected by Alzheimers, when you get us in age your memeroy starts getting a bit jumbled. I don’t think it was fair to him.
I had the opportunity to meet the senior Mr. Spitzer a few years ago — nothing at all like his son, I found him to be a very humble, kind, gentle man and was extremly surprised when I found out that he was Elliot’s father. I am thinking that there is more to this story.
There is more to the story- first the Property Management company responsible for the hiring and firing, settled this case out of court a week before the elder Spitzer’s trial began. I don’t know what they paid. The most absurd part of this story is the venue (Bronx County) where the trial took place-its like wlaking into a lion’s den with lions who haven’t had a meal for days. He was eaten alive.
Justice? I don’t think so and you have to believe this was some pay back for Elliot.

Another example of the apple not falling far from the tree.
Good, bad,or indifferent, why should it take 10 years to bring this to a jury that only needed 4 hours to decide?!

There is no statute of limitations on cases that involve a civil rights violation.
This will answer one questions.
I do agree that having the Bronx as the venue really put Mr. Spitzer in a bad situation. Theya re really bad up there.
How many white people were on the jury?
I’m sure I know the answer
makes perfect sense to me….but then again, a Bronx jury would award OJ
1.5 million for being harrased by the police.
yeah, yeah, guys, but nice old man or not. is he anything like his schwandingling loin-fruit?
gelt is gelt, so the jury gave a big one
