In a significant ruling, Manhattan federal court judge Richard Sullivan ordered Knicks owner James Dolan to testify in the civil case involving Charles Oakley, emphasizing his first-hand knowledge of the incident.
Judge Sullivan noted that Dolan's perspective is crucial as he had a 'courtside seat' during the altercation, stating, 'he likely possesses relevant knowledge that cannot be obtained from other witnesses.'
Dolan is compelled to discuss a conversation he reportedly had with a security guard right before Oakley was forcibly removed, showcasing the potential importance of his testimony in ongoing litigation.
Though parts of Oakley's case against MSG have been dismissed over the years, the claim regarding the use of excessive force during his ejection remains active, highlighting the legal complexities at play.
