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.
