Noah 26,972 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 http://www.someecards.com/entertainment/music/judge-shirley-kornreich-conflict-of-interest-kesha-sony-lawsuit/ The Judge who threw out Keshas case against Sony had a massive conflict of interest. This is interesting: it turns out that the New York State Supreme Court judge who threw out Kesha's appeal in her lawsuit against producer Dr. Luke and Sony had a pretty big conflict of interest, in that she's married to one of Sony's lawyers. Hmm. Apparently, Judge Shirley Kornreich's husband, Ed Kornreich, is a partner at a firm called Proskauer Rose, which has Sony/RCA as a client. In April, Judge Kornreich dismissed the appeal Kesha had filed against Sony, in which Kesha requested to be released from her contract, alleging that her producer Dr. Luke (real name Lukasz Gottwald) had sexually assaulted her. Judge Kornreich said: Although [Luke's] alleged actions were directed to Kesha, who is female, [her claims] do not allege that [Luke] harbored animus toward women or was motivated by gender animus when he allegedly behaved violently toward Kesha. . . Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime. Kesha dropped the case against Sony in Los Angeles, but she's continuing her appeal in New York. On August 1, the performer posted on Facebook about the lawsuit, writing: "The lawsuit is so heavy on my once free spirit, and I can only pray to one day feel that happiness again." ⟡ ⋆ ˚。⋆🦢⋆ ˚。⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mucinex 4,260 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 i wish so badly that if she was raped there is some sort of solid evidence they somehow forgot about to help her win a case & leave her contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 There's nothing in the article that says the lawyer represents Sony. It says he is a partner at a firm that has Sony as a client. That doesn't mean that he himself has Sony as a client. According to his page, he chairs the Health Care Department of the law firm. "Ed works primarily on health care transactions, regulatory compliance, health care payment and governance issues for varied providers (both for-profit and not-for-profit), vendors, GPOs, distributors and entrepreneurs." So he doesn't work with Sony nor does he work in Entertainment law at all, his specialty is healthcare and he generally represents hospitals and other health care providers. I see nothing that implies a conflict of interest here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 To add to my post above, Dr. Luke's lawyer is Christine Lepera who works at a completely different law firm than Proskauer. That adds even less credence to the claim that there was a conflict of interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the judge is corrupt then there is no real justice. Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not represent Sony and the law firm he works at was not even involved in the case in question. Dr. Luke's attorney works for a different law firm.
