A woman who was sent sexually oriented text messages from the prosecutor on her domestic-abuse abuse case filed suit Friday, alleging that her constitutional rights were violated, according to the Associated Press.

 The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Milwaukee by Stephanie Van Groll, 26.

Ex-Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz had texted Van Groll 30 times last year trying to convince her to have an affair with him while he was prosecuting her former boyfriend for trying to strangle her.

The suit, seeking unspecificed damages, claims that under Wisconsin law witnesses have a right to be protected from any harm that results from their cooperation with authorities.

Blood may not be thicker than water, at least in the case of  two brothers have gone to court over their father’s prized Green Bay Packers tickets, according to the Green Bay Gazette. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20100411/GPG0101/4110587/1978

 Peter Christman of Los Angeles alleges that his brother Michael kept all the proceeds after selling their late father Walter’s 13 mid-field tickets. The father, who died a year ago in April, had willed the tickets to Michael but said if the tickets were sold, the proceeds should be parceled out 55-45 between the brothers.

 Peter has filed suit against his brother Michael of Van Buren, Ark., claiming he only got a small fraction of the money from the ticket sales, which should have reaped him thousands.

 In his lawsuit filed in Brown County Court, Peter is seeking unspecified damages, legal fees and a judgment enforcing their father’s last wishes, according to the Green Bay Gazette.

 There is a pretrial conference for the lawsuit scheduled for Oct. 7, with the trial set for Oct. 11 and 12.
