Judge dismisses lawsuit against Coleman donor

Posted at 3:31 PM on August 14, 2009 by Tim Pugmire (1 Comments)

The news out of Texas today is that a Houston judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought against a prominent donor to former Sen. Norm Coleman. One of the accusations in the civil case against Nasser Kazeminy was that he had funneled money to Coleman through a company that employed the GOP senator's wife.

I don't want to seem critical, but could you have included "Why" the judge dismissed the lawsuit in your story ?
Just the simple quote from the story tells us that it was based on a technical question of legal standing ... without any comment as to whether tha alligation was true. If a reader did not click through to the Strib (which by the way is a very slow website that I avoid) the reader may have assumed that the allegation was false.

Re : Gomez said in his two-page order that ex-CEO Paul McKim couldn't pursue his business litigation because he is no longer a shareholder in the company.
