Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared in court as a key witness on a case last month. He is a key witness for the defendant and soon he will appear as a plaintiff. The jury selection will begin on July 19 in Jones’s breach of contract claim against Alexandra Davis and Cynthia Davis.
He claims that they violated an agreement when it was made public that Jones is Alexandra’s father. The lawsuit was filed as a counterclaim to a defamation lawsuit that Alexxandra David had filed against Jone and others, however the defamation claims have been dismissed, making breach of contract the only remaining claim in the case.
“It’s a case where the judge has given it very, very thorough and careful attention and we’re looking forward to trying the case not as much for the money, although there’s significant money involved, but rather to uphold the fact that when you make a deal and one side lives up to the deal as Mr. Jones did, the other side should too,” Jones’s attorney Chip Babcock told Ferguson on Monday. “Our view is that they didn’t live up to it and we did.”
There is another paternity case filed against Jerry Jones and it remains pending. Jones was ordered to take a DNA in February. Jones says that he and the Davises reached a settlement agreement back in 1988.
This contract prevented the party from “suing or supporting any suit to establish paternity.” That agreement also required them to keep the settlement details confidential as they allegedly received millions of dollars under the agreement.
The trial is schedule to begin on the 22nd of July and Alexandra and Cynthia deny wrongdoing. This is definitely a topic to stay in top of especially just a few weeks away from the start of the regular season.
