OH-3: Stephanie Studebaker Back in Court


Last year OH-3 candidate, Stephanie Studebaker, dropped out of the Congressional race in August of '06 after both she and her husband were jointly arrested for domestic violence. Those arrests were placed because her father-in-law, James Dale Studebaker, place a 9/11 call against her (per a request by his son), and she placed a call to 9/11 in return.

Now, one year later she's brought civil suit against her former father-in-law over that call. On Wednesday of last week court documents were filed in Montgomery County Court for defamation per se, defemation per quod, and interference with business relationships.

"At the time of the call the Plaintiff was the candidate endorsed by the Ohio Democratic Party in a race for the seat in the United States Congress for the Ohio Third Congressional District."

The entirety of the claim seems to rest on the fact that James Studebaker knew the position Stephanie was in, and knowingly acted reckless and/or maliciously to harm her through the call in her Congressional race, an upcoming divorce, and custody battle.

Stephanie is asking for... $2 million dollars in damages, $500,000 of which are compensatory damages (including the $322,000 two-year congressional salary she claims as lost income from the call), and $1.5 million in punitive damages.

4. What I posted is

"victim no more"....

when this all came out, during the campaign, I was profoundly disturbed by the insidious nature of the (alleged) abuse from both her husband and in-law. it is so difficult to articulate what I perceive to be the family's profound level of disrespect, disloyalty and sense of superiority (because of the money). They probably still believe she has wronged them, that's the really sad part she will have to deal with forever. Unfortunately, because they have money, they will forever think they are "better."

They didn't even take into account her children and what it would do to them!
I WISH she would have kicked his ass......WIMP!
Personally, I think someone ,(Daddy Studebaker) is friends with a certain 3rd District Congressman;D
There has to be a connection somewhere!! I smell it!
