Judge: No Winner in Rosie O'Donnell Case

NEW YORK - A Manhattan judge ruled Wednesday that there was no winner in the ugly court battle between Rosie O'Donnell and the publisher of her defunct magazine, saying neither side would collect any damages.



Minutes after both sides rested in the case, state Supreme Court Justice Ira Gammerman issued his surprising ruling to conclude the bench trial.

"It seems to me ... we're just dealing with bragging rights here, who wins and who loses," Gammerman said. With his ruling, neither side wins - although O'Donnell could still ask for publisher Gruner+Jahr USA to cover her legal fees.

Gammerman said there was no evidence or testimony during the contentious trial indicating that either side had caused the other to suffer damages.

Both parties invested money, the magazine lost money, and then it folded, he said. "There's no evidence that the magazine would have made any money at all," he said.

1. None too frivolous for the lawyers ...

... who walked away with a bag of money in fees.

[gratuitous]

3. So you think Rosie's lawyers should have worked for free?

They're not entitled to compensation and should be glad to donate their services because she was sued frivolously?

2. Great! Another 3 weeks of...

...seeing Rosie's loud obnoxious face on the toob ranting about how she got screwed...

[soleft]

4. Yay! looking forward to that! Thanks for the headsup!

15. You'd love my ex-wife, then...

:evilgrin: They could have been "twins seperated at birth"

6. Maybe O'Reilly will have her on his show.......

and she can slobber all over herself about what a "great" pRESIDENT bu$h is. I turned against her since the time she was on his show being another bu$h whore ass kisser. She's sickening. :puke:

[Ernesto]

9. Rosie praised the chimp?

Never thought much of her "talent", but I did consider her to be a free-thinker. Fooled again!

[0007]

5. Oh, do the freepers hate this Rosie

this will be the bending end for those die heart charlatans on the dark side.

I'm not a Rosie fan but I do honor her as a human being.

[buff2]

7. She's a bu$h lover

That's enough for me.Any normal "human being" would not support that ignorant dictator and his facist nazi policies.

[soleft]

8. Have you spoken to her about Bush lately?

In the wake of 9/11 there were a lot of people with nice things to say about Bush. Even Clark, I recall, was non too short with his praise.

10. and on monday

she said something to the media hordes along the lines of: "Do you know there are soldiers being killed in Iraq? Why are you wasting your time on this story?"

[saigon68]

12. Right on I heard her say that

She was not the Chimpanzee's ass kisser in that comment.

She sounded really angry at the people sending the soldiers to die.

At least that how I took the interview.

[Redbear]

11. Sounds like a good decision.

and it is a "win" for Rosie. Gruner+Jahr sued her and the counter-suit was just a defensive measure.

13. Who cares about Rosie O'Donnell

The person is offensive to look at and to listen to. I don't have any understanding as to why this person ever became a celebrity.

[soleft]

14. that's because you're a casual observer obviously
