Pinkus’s Lawyer Says Harper Lee Suit Is Settled<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n
\n

Harper Lee’s copyright lawsuit against her former agent Sam Pinkus appears to be reaching an end. Pinkus’s lawyer Vincent Carissimi told the NY Daily News<\/a> late last week that both sides “have reached a mutually satisfactory resolution” and that “all the concerns have been addressed.” In papers filed in federal court last Thursday, Lee dismissed her claims against co-defendants Lee Ann Winick and Gerald Posner, with each side bearing its own legal costs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Carissimi told the Daily News “we have reached a settlement” and indicated that final papers would be filed soon to dismiss the entire case — though such papers were not available in the court docket as of Monday morning. More importantly, Lee’s representatives have not commented since Carissimi’s assertion that the matter has been settled.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is, strictly from the vantage point of Sidebar,<\/strong> the problem with settlements. We report on all the bim-bam-bom \u2014 the accusations, the theatrics, the massive internal injuries … and then? It settles and we don’t know why or for how much. We don’t get a picture of the inner workings of the parties.<\/p>\n

Basically, all we can know is that it settled, and we can guess that everybody is satisfied and nobody is satisfied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
