Norcross Sues Philadelphia Inquirer for Defamation Over Alleged Fabricated Notes
New Jersey power broker George Norcross filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against The Philadelphia Inquirer, alleging that a top editor created notes containing fabricated statements by an associate that prosecutors allegedly used in a now-dismissed racketeering case tied to Camden real estate deals; the suit portrays ongoing personal animus and seeks damages along with related claims, while the paper says the editor did type the notes but did not share them with prosecutors.
