| D'oh! O'Reilly Sex Case Settled |
| 2004-10-28 |
| HT to Drudge Statement from Ronald Green, Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. The Parties regret that this matter has caused tremendous pain, and they have agreed to settle. All cases and claims have been withdrawn and all Parties have agreed that there was no wrongdoing whatsoever by Mr. O'Reilly, Ms. Mackris, or Ms. Mackris' counsel, Benedict P. Morelli & Associates. We now withdraw any assertion that any extortion by Ms. Mackris, Mr. Morelli, or Morelli & Associates occurred. Out of respect for their families and privacy, all Parties and their representatives have agreed that all information relating to the cases shall remain confidential. everyone gets dirty.... |

| #5 This stinks - if she had tapes he was sunk. Either she and her atty tried to extort money (with O'Reilly guilty of despicable behavior for a married man) or she had no proof, tries to get $ and the extortion suit by O'Reilly calls the bluff of the "lady" and her atty. The fact she returned to work for him and was deep in debt skews the odds.... |

| #4 She gete money We don't even know if Ms Mackris got any money! For all we know, she felt the heat and took the easy way out by offering to drop her case if O'Reilly dropped his. She had Feds investigating her and the $60 million dollar extortation issue. She could have done this to save her own skin. It's also possible "others" were afraid of being connected to Ms Mackris and told her to give it up. Need more details than "Settled". And the key that makes me think this was extortion is that the article states that Mrs Mackris counsel had no wrongdoing. How does the counsel get exempt from wrongdoing if the were working a legitimate case? |

| #2 Insurance rates go up, lawyers get exorbitant fees no longer characterized as extortion, insurance company gets tapes, and O'Reilly keeps sleeping in the guest room. |
