CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -A lawyer says an affidavit from a woman who is accusing Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of rape shouldn’t be allowed as part of the court record in the case.
Margo Piscevich, (PIS-keh-vich) an attorney for seven Harrah’s Lake Tahoe employees also named as defendants in the woman’s lawsuit, said the woman’s affidavit contains “nothing more or less than media grandstanding.”
The attorney says the affidavit filed last week in Washoe District Court in Reno is largely composed of immaterial and scandalous allegations that don’t meet the standards required under court rules.
In the same filing, Piscevich opposes an earlier motion by the woman’s lawyer, Cal Dunlap, to amend his suit to name Harrah’s corporate entity as a defendant.
