Subject: Lawyer Asks Boies to Explain Misrepresentation Lawyer Asks Boies to Explain Misrepresentation http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/messageboard/mbs.cgi?acct=mb1075995 Monday, Nov. 27, 2000 John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146-2750 Phone: 305-666-4366 Fax: 305-666-7275 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] November 27, 2000 David Boies, Attorney Boies, Schiller, and Flexner 5301 Wisconsin Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. VIA FAX to 202-237-6131 Re: False Representation to Florida Supreme Court about Illinois "Dimpled Chad" Case Dear Mr. Boies: It has come to my attention, and I am sure it has come to yours as well, that you falsely characterized the court's ruling in the Illinois "dimpled chad" case. You told the Florida Supreme Court last week that that case allowed the hand recounting of dimpled chads. Our state's high court seemed impressed with that fact. One problem, though. A big problem. The Illinois court ruled just the opposite way, disallowing the counting of dimpled chads. The affidavit you relied upon is false, and you now know that it is false. You have a clear and mandatory duty immediately to inform the Florida Supreme Court of your misrepresentation to the seven Justices in this critical regard. Any failure on your part is clearly subject to review and discipline by the appropriate authorities because such a failure would constitute an ethical breach on your part which compromises justice and is prejudicial to the opposing parties. You have until five o'clock p.m., Tuesday, November 28, 2000, to inform me by fax at the above number that you have alerted the Florida Supreme Court of your misrepresentation. Best, John B.
