STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by the former state lottery chair against fellow lottery officials over what he called lies they told others about his conduct, including claims he took bribes.
Judge Kenneth Povodator threw out the case Monday, saying Frank Farricker did not show probable cause he would prevail if the case went to trial.
Farricker sued former Connecticut Lottery Corp. President Anne Noble, former Vice President Chelsea Turner and former Human Resources Director Jane Rooney in late 2019, saying they made false statements that damaged his reputation and caused him “severe” emotional distress.

NEW CANAAN A state Superior Court judge has granted the town temporary custody of 12 dogs seized as the owner faces animal cruelty charges.
New Canaan Animal Control seized the pets last month after police said three dogs were found dead in September in a Butler Lane home owned by Catherine “Cassie” Palmer.”
Palmer, a Greenwich resident who rents out the New Canaan home, is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 22 in state Superior Court in Norwalk on three counts of cruelty to animals. Before turning herself in on Nov. 29, Palmer spent the Thanksgiving holiday weekend delivering a “vehicle full of puppies,” including one in Massachusetts that died the day after she dropped it off, police said.
