Woman can sue Pequot corp
AUGUST 17, 2000
US District Court Judge Christopher F. Droney
in Hartford, Connecticut, has ruled
that Debra Bassett can sue the Mashantucket
Pequot Tribal Museum corporation and
museum directors for allegedly plagiarizing
a script she wrote on the tribe's history. An earlier decision ruled she could not sue the tribe themselves due to sovereign immunity. But on Friday, Droney said Bassett could sue the corporation and its members, which include Representative Sam Gejdenson and Vice-Chairman Skip Hayward.
