(AP) -- Linda Tripp's attorney said Wednesday that her prosecution on felony wiretapping charges is tainted because the star witness, Monica Lewinsky, lied under oath. During a brief hearing that could determine whether the case goes to trial, Tripp's attorney Joseph Murtha said Lewinsky clearly sought revenge against Tripp for recording their conversations about Lewinsky's affair with President Clinton. Lewinsky testified last December that she independently recalled the Dec. 22, 1997, date of the crucial telephone conversation Tripp is charged with illegally taping. But Lewinsky told prosecutors in writing in August 1998 that the information came from Tripp's immunized statements to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's office, Tripp's lawyers maintain. ``She has proven herself to be a liar -- in this courtroom,'' he said. ``You can make your own judgments as to her credibility,'' Prosecutor Thomas McDonough said. ``We've made ours.'' Circuit Judge Diane Leasure said she would issue a written ruling May 5. Leasure could let the trial proceed, dismiss the case or limit or throw out Lewinsky's testimony. The trial is scheduled for July. If convicted, Tripp could face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for each wiretapping offense. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
