Jed Shugerman was quoted in a Law and Crime article about the Kavanaugh hearings.
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that he first heard about the Deborah Ramirez allegation when it was published in The New Yorker on Sept. 23. The thing is, one of the judge’s friends provided NBC with texts apparently showing that he knew about the claim before that, and tried to recruit people to defend him.
This report has some lawyers and prominent pundits suggesting this constitutes witness tampering.
“And now we are also talking about witness tampering,” wrote Fordham law professor Jed Shugerman, an expert on American courts.
