To refresh everyone's memory, Leigh Corfman accused Roy Moore of attempting to seduce her when she was only 14. Instead of Moore suing Corfman for libel/slander, he openly called her a liar during a very public campaign speech. Then Corfman sued Moore for slander.
On Wednesday, Moore sent out an e-mail to all on his campaign list asking for money to fight Corfman's suit. The former chief justice of Alabama says he has "minimal resources" and states his legal bills could approach $250,000.00. Really?
While Moore would be the proverbial fool to represent himself, he could throw himself into actually performing some of the preliminary legal work involved in his case. Surely he could cut a few attorney hours here and there? How much will Moore's legal team be charging? The hourly rate must be staggering. After all, isn't much of the investigation already done according to press releases before the election?

What of Leigh Corfman's attorneys? Since it's a civil suit, they can freely call as a witness any woman who accuses Moore of similar behavior.
Perhaps that's it. Perhaps Moore feels he will lose and will then have to pay Corfman's attorneys also.
Anyone feel sorry for him?
