Frank McCourt’s lawyer Robert Sacks says his client’s ex-wife was provided the team’s financial documents prior to the settlement being reached in October 2011 and that her lawyers weren’t on their job.
“There is not a scintilla of evidence to support Jamie’s ever-changing claims,” Sacks said during closing arguments of a non-jury trial. “It lacks credibility.”
Jamie McCourt is accusing her ex-husband of fraud by misrepresenting the Dodger assets as worth less than $300 million during their divorce when in reality he knew all along what the true value was but didn’t tell her. Her attorneys believe she missed out on $770 million.
Jamie McCourt’s attorney, Bert Fields, said his client relied on the latest figures provided to her and said the amount for a future regional sports network – potentially worth more than $1 billion – was never reflected in documents she saw.
