A judge on Tuesday dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman who says she is the daughter of Jerry Jones against the Cowboys owner and two longtime associates.
Author of three books, including New York Times best-selling"First Off the Tee: Presidential Hackers, Duffers, and Cheaters from Taft to Bush"
Judge Robert W. Schroeder III tossed out the defamation lawsuit filed in March by Alexandra Davis, a 26-year-old congressional aide, against Jones, his longtime personal lawyer Don Jack and Jim Wilkinson, a communications consultant for the Jones family. In his 36-page order dismissing Davis' lawsuit, Schroeder determined that some of the alleged defamatory statements about Davis, published in two ESPN stories about the case, were either true or were"not defamatory." He also ruled that Davis qualified as a"limited public figure" and as such had failed to make a valid claim of actual malice, a requirement under defamation law.
Andrew Bergman, a Dallas lawyer for Davis, said,"We are amending our pleading and we are pleased that the case is moving forward." Bergman has 21 days to file an amended complaint. He declined to comment on the judge's decision to dismiss a portion of Davis' lawsuit with prejudice.
