Quackbuster Barrett Broken in "Home Town" Court...

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

In simple language - the Lehigh County Court Judge, today, in the
Barrett v. Koren "defamation" case, ruled that Stephen Barrett wasted
the Lehigh County Court's time with his meritless claims.

Just before lunch on Thursday, October 13th, 2005 (today), Judge
Johnson of the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas turned to the jury
assembled to decide a case brought by one Stephen Barrett, a local
resident, against famous Chiropractor, author, publisher, and health
advocate Tedd Koren DC - and told the jury that he was ruling in favor
of a Motion made by Defendant Koren.

The Judge's ruling in favor of Koren's Motion, officially called a
"Motion for Directed Verdict," approved Koren's request that "the Court
enter judgment in its favor before submitting the case to the jury
because there is no legally sufficient evidentiary foundation on which
a reasonable jury could find
for the other party."  Under Federal Rules of Court this type of motion
is known as a "Motion for judgment as a matter of law."
