The appellate courts' decision was released on the same date as the 49th anniversary of Villa Hills' incorporation - June 7th. June 7th is also the date that Tom Braun, Villa Hills first mayor, passed away.
Yes, Mike Martin's baseless $1.505 MILLION lawsuit against the taxpayers and two long-serving employees was truly laughed out of court on June 7th, 2011. In fact, one judge even embarrassingly commented that Martin was "barking up the wrong tree" with his allegations. Another judge wrote that the actions Martin took leading to his arrest fit the very definition of FORGERY.
Never bothered by REALITY, Martin told the Kentucky Enquirer that he decided to DROP HIS LAWSUIT! How about this instead? Martin's baseless lawsuit was DROP-KICKED OUT OF TWO COURTS!
Martin's comments got worse. He cloyingly told the Kentucky Enquirer that he and his wife were going to go "pray about their decision". Does anybody really believe that someone as vindictive and mean-spirited as Martin did anything but weigh his financial exposure before taking a pass on a ridiculous appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States?
