Lincoln Meyer's slander suit

• Lincoln Meyer, a witness in the Scott Little murder trial, sued Coho for suggesting that he was a pedophile and might have been the murderer.
• Although Coho had immunity for anything he said in the courtroom during the trial, he had repeated the accusation to the news media.
• Judge Potts ruled that the comments Coho had made to the press were only in reference to matters that had occurred made in the courtroom.
• Judge Potts further commented that Meyer appeared to be "seriously disturbed".
• Later, as Judge Potts approached his car, Meyer hit him over the head with a shovel.
