Jim Boeheim’s attorneys want the defamation suit filed against the Syracuse basketball coach moved from New York City to Onondaga County.
Boeheim’s legal team is arguing that the accusers, Bobby Davis and Mike Lang, improperly filed their lawsuit in New York City since all the parties are in Onondaga County.
The defamation suit was filed as reaction to Boeheim calling the two former ball-boys “liars” and interested in money, not justice, when they accused Bernie Fine of molesting them.
On the flip side, the two men’s lawyers filed suit in New York City because they were afraid they wouldn’t get a fair trial in Onondaga County.
