HARRISBURG, May 20, 2008 — Please find below a statement issued today by Chief Justice of Pennsylvania Retired Ralph J. Cappy in response to a lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters: “There is absolutely no truth to the allegations in the lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters and its lawyer, Paul A. Rossi. In fact, the allegations are best described as preposterous. It is also worth noting that Mr. Rossi filed a similar and equally ridiculous lawsuit several years ago which was dismissed by a federal judge. I do not understand why a respected organization such as the League of Women Voters would associate itself with this irresponsible lawsuit, especially since the charges consist of falsehoods, speculation and innuendo. I intend to defend myself vigorously in court.”
