Diana Jeffrey Gets S.L.A.P.P.-ed Back

This was the complaint filed by Howard Myerowitz, Diana Jeffrey's husband and law partner, on behalf of Liberty Humane Society, Diana Jeffrey, Nicole Dawson, John Hanussak, and Melissa Moylan (John Hanussak's wife).


It was linked to an article posted on www.nj.com, as a word document, without Howard Myerowitz's signature, before the complaint was even filed or received by the court.  How very professional of them.

However, while doing some online research about S.L.A.P.P. lawsuits, I came across this:

S.L.A.P.P. (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation)
"A SLAPP lawsuit is one that seeks to intimidate those who exercise legitimate expression of their interests and make demands to participate in public processes."
www.njappleseed.net
Interestingly enough, Diana Jeffrey happens to be the Director of the Corporate & Government Accountability Program, which "defends organizations and individuals subjected to SLAPP lawsuits."

Touché

Actually, it is very sad.  It's like advocating for pitbulls, but having a special euthanasia policy for them, or like preaching the importance of spaying and neutering, but firing the vet that was offering those services IN-HOUSE.

Wait, Irene Borngraeber is the Communications Director for New Jersey Appleseed?  It just so happens she is involved with the inner workings of Liberty Humane Society as well.  Interesting.

Speaking of Irene Borngraeber, I believe she is Norrice Raymaker's niece.  Norrice Raymaker is Founder and first President of Liberty Humane Society.  And Norrice Raymaker also happens to be Diana Jeffrey's client?  What a coincidence.
