Cowboys in mediation over defamation suit
By Associated Press
AUSTIN (AP) - Dallas Cowboys Michael Irvin and Erik Williams
participated in mediation Tuesday with lawyers from a Dallas-Fort
Worth television station.
Irvin's attorney, Royce West, confirmed that the players were
involved in mediation with television station KXAS, which the
players are suing for defamation of character.
The suit stems from the reporting of rape allegations made
against the two by Nina Shahravan, who later recanted.
West said he was not involved in Tuesday's proceedings and
could not provide any details. Peter Ginsberg, another attorney
for Irvin, who was involved in the mediation did not wish to comment
on the proceedings.
KXAS attorney Chip Babcock did not return a phone call requesting
comment.
