A Note From
As Jerry Roberts' colleague of many years (two of them as his managing editor at the News-Press), I've watched from afar as our former employer has marshaled her considerable fortune to personally attack an honorable man and talented journalist . I didn't think I could be surprised any more by her tactics.
Until now.
To Ms. McCaw, I'd ask the same question that Sen. Joseph McCarthy was asked, after he had gone too far, too many times, in his attempts to ruin the lives and reputations of innocent people:
“Have you no sense of decency?”
And I'd like to remind the people of Santa Barbara that
false charges like those leveled by Ms. McCaw – no matter
how fanciful – require a legal response. Legal responses cost money. That's why
I've worked with Jerry's friends and colleagues in
to raise money for the Lawyers Alliance for Free Speech Rights.
Please contribute to this legal defense fund so that Jerry and others threatened by Ms. McCaw's bullying are able to fight back.
