Sharpton faces plea over slain girl slander ruling
Revered civil rights figure Al Sharpton says he cannot pay 65,000 to former prosecutor Steven Pagones after slander claims tied to a faked abduction case involving a 15 year old girl. Pagones’s attorney said finances will be probed as court actions resume in January. Separately an immigration panel blocked Mazen Al Najjar’s release on an 8,000 bond, citing insufficient defense information. Retired Boston teacher Thomas Drey left 6.8 million to the Boston Public Library upon his 1997 death, having lived modestly and saved through stock market study.
