News Speaker Glenn Richardson's divorce records
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 9:04 PM
As you may have read on state politics websites and in news reports today, some of the documents from Speaker Glenn Richardson's divorce have been unsealed after government gadfly George Anderson sued.
Just got my hands on 'em AND...they're pretty tame. No mentions of alleged trysts or cloakroom deals for natural-gas pipelines.
What they do show is that the case was a political hot potato in Paulding County. It went from judge to judge, with each one recusing himself from the case, until it ultimately returned to Paulding County Superior Court Judge James Osborne, who according to the documents was the "only remaining judge in the the Paulding County Circuit to which this case can be assigned." Osborne, who originally sealed the documents, is a former law partner of Richardson's.
