Michael Jordan Wins Court Victory Over Karla Knafl
Michael Jordan’s winning abilities are not only on the basketball court, but in the legal system as well. The retired NBA all-star was sued by former lover Karla Knafl for $5 million dollars because she claimed he promised her the amount of money, if she kept quiet and didn’t file a paternity suit against him.
Jordan denied making the promise and sued Knafel in 2002, alleging that she was trying to extort money from him. DNA tests later showed that Jordan was not the father of the child.
The 1st District Appellate Court in Chicago ruled Wednesday that even if Jordan made the agreement, the deal was unenforceable because Knafel had misled him about whether he was the child’s father. The ruling affirmed a trial judge’s decision last year.
