Nice try Mark...

...but when it comes to the LIES you told the public regarding the Danbury 11 case, no one is buying your line of nonsense.

I look forward to having an opportunity to address and correct the record," he said. "We look forward to going to trial and vigorously defend our position. We think we are right.

Yeah right, this is the same line Boughton used when the firefighter lawsuit was filed and in the end, he settled before any the damaging details of the case could come to light (to this date, Boughton has refused to comment on the allegations against him in that matter.

...by the way, if Boughton so ready to defend his position in the case, why offer a "sealed offer of judgement" a month before his scheduled and LONG AWAITED deposition?

City officials filed a "sealed offer of judgement" in the federal lawsuit last month and the plaintiffs had up until this week to accept or reject it.

An attorney for the plaintiffs said a judgment offer isn't a settlement in the traditional sense, but an offer by a party that would "let the court enter a judgement against it," in this case the city, if specific terms are met.

"Such offers are rarely made in federal court," said Elizabeth Goergen, an attorney with the Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher law firm that is co-counsel on the case for the plaintiffs.

"Danbury filed such an offer and the plaintiffs have rejected it because the terms were inadequate," she said.

Face it Mark, no matter what you and your cronies are saying now about the case:

• You flat out LIED to the public about the city's role in the Kennedy Park raid.
  


• There is VERY good chance that your lying about what you knew about the raid before it took place.


• You tried everything in your power to NOT be deposed in the case...and lost.


• And you tired to settle the case before you were set to be placed under oath and questioned by the very law student from Yale that you've mocked for years...and lost.

After three and a half years, in a few weeks, Boughton is going to be forced to do something that you haven't done in years...tell the truth. Since Boughton is running for lieutenant governor, the state has a RIGHT TO KNOW what else the mayor has lied about regarding this case...and the only way we're going to get answers is by having Boughton's deposition made available to the public.

...MUCH more later.
