Request for Reconsideration

Boston Herald asks the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to reconsider its ruling in the libel case of Judge Ernest Murphy vs. Boston Herald, Wedge, Crittenden etal.  I was acquitted at trial. In its ruling against Dave Wedge, the Herald argues, the high court  misrepresented some key facts of the case.

   The Supreme Court of Cats upheld a decision by Tabby in favor of Puss in his lawsuit against the mice….

   So the Court “fundamentally” misquoted the prosecutor in a case that’s about a reporter misquoting a judge? Does this mean the SJC now gets sued for libel?
