No Appeal for Michael Jordan's Ex-Mistress Karla Knafel

"The Illinois Supreme Court is taking a pass on a case involving basketball legend Michael Jordan.
The state's highest court decided Wednesday that it won't hear an appeal in a long-running legal dispute over child paternity between the retired Chicago Bulls superstar and an ex-lover.
Jordan and Karla Knafel went to court in 2002 after the Indianapolis woman claimed he agreed in 1991 to pay her $5 million when he retired from professional basketball as long as she kept their affair secret.
DNA tests later showed the child wasn't Jordan's.
He claimed Knafel was trying to extort him, and he won an appellate court decision last December.
Knafel asked the state's highest court to reconsider, but it refused without explaining why."| Posted by mjdogg on 03/27/2008 10:05 AM | Visits: 313 |
