NEW YORK (AP) — The lawyer for the woman who accused former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault says he believes prosecutors plan to dismiss some or all of the charges.
Attorney Kenneth Thompson tells The New York Times that he got a letter from an assistant district attorney asking to meet with his client Monday, the day before Strauss-Kahn’s next scheduled court appearance. The letter said the purpose was to discuss what would happen in court.
A person familiar with the case confirmed that a meeting was scheduled for Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the meeting is private.
Thompson told the Times (http://nyti.ms/qvHGnh) he thinks prosecutors wouldn’t have asked to meet unless they planned to give her bad news. The prosecutor’s office declined to comment.
