俄克拉荷马总检察长撤回对州长的诽谤诉讼 曾指其搞「抹黑行动」
据《俄克拉荷马人报》10月16日报道，俄克拉荷马州总检察长金特纳·德拉蒙德已撤回对州长凯文·斯蒂特及多个政治团体的诉讼——他此前指控对方针对其共和党州长竞选搞「恶意抹黑行动」。
德拉蒙德的律师于10月15日提交撤诉文件，距离案件关键期限仅一天；双方原定在10月23日听证会前交换证人和证据清单。斯蒂特及被列为被告的政治行动委员会School Freedom Fund Oklahoma的律师均否认有不当行为，并曾请求法院驳回案件。
德拉蒙德于今年5月提起该诽谤诉讼。他在6月16日初选中晋级，与迈克·马泽伊在8月25日决选中对决，马泽伊胜出，将出现在11月3日大选选票上。
Oklahoma Attorney General Drops Lawsuit That Accused Gov. Stitt of 'Smear Campaign'
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is dropping his lawsuit against Gov. Kevin Stitt and a network of political groups he accused of targeting his Republican bid for governor with a 'malicious smear campaign,' The Oklahoman reported on October 16.
Drummond's attorneys filed paperwork to drop the lawsuit on Thursday, October 15, one day before a key court deadline ahead of an October 23 hearing. Lawyers for Stitt and for School Freedom Fund Oklahoma denied any wrongdoing and had asked a judge to dismiss the case.
Drummond filed the libel lawsuit in May. He advanced from the June 16 primary alongside Mike Mazzei, who won the August 25 runoff and will appear on the November 3 general election ballot.
