Judge will consider Fieger's slander suit

A Detroit judge will decide whether to dismiss Geoffrey Fieger's lawsuit against 12th Circuit Chief Judge Thomas Gallen during a hearing Aug. 7.

Fieger, the flamboyant Michigan attorney who defended Ralf Panitz in his Sarasota murder trial, is suing Gallen for slander. Gallen admonished Fieger in a letter to the editor after Fieger called several jurors "Nazis" and "creeps." Panitz was sentenced in May to life in prison for killing his ex-wife Nancy Campbell.

A press release issued by Fieger's attorney in April said Fieger is seeking $1 million from Gallen. Fieger's latest court filing said he deserves $75,000 for damages to his reputation.

If Fieger's suit isn't dismissed, the judge will decide if the case should be heard in Detroit or Tampa.
