Parties reach settlement in Eli Manning, New York Giants memorabilia fraud lawsuit – The Denver Post
The Giants announced Monday that they and quarterback Eli Manning had reached a confidential settlement with three men who were suing them over claims of memorabilia fraud. Earlier in the day, a trial in the lawsuit had been set to begin with jury selection at a New Jersey courthouse, but the proceedings were delayed because of a death in the family of one of the attorneys.
Now the trial, which was expected to take approximately four weeks, will be averted altogether, keeping Manning from possibly having to take the stand to testify about his alleged role in a scheme to falsely depict helmets and other pieces of Giants equipment as game-worn. Team co-owner John Mara had also been placed on the list of potential witnesses.
