"I don't settle cases that are fictitious, your honor," huffed Adams' lawyer Alex Spiro at a Manhattan Supreme Court hearing in the case filed by Lorna Beach-Mathura, who has accused the mayor of assaulting her more than three decades ago when the pair worked together in the NYPD's Transit Bureau. Spiro emphasized the mayor's desire to get the case to a 'dismissal or trial' as soon as possible, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
"This whole thing is the craziest gaslighting I have ever seen," said Beach-Matura's lawyer Megan Goddard during the virtual hearing. She criticized Spiro for suggesting that she has failed to provide evidence corroborating her client's claims, highlighting the combative nature of the court proceedings and the seriousness of the allegations against Mayor Adams.
