of B'nai B'rith Settles Defamation Case
March 12, 2004 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER (AP) -- The
Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith
has settled a bitter 1994 defamation case by paying
$12.1 million to a couple it accused of
anti-Semitism. William and Dorothy Quigley won a
jury verdict in 2000, but the case was appealed the
U.S. Supreme Court. The high court declined to hear
the case. The dispute began in 1994, when Mitchell
and Candace Aronson moved into a house near
the Quigleys in Evergreen, just west of Denver. The
families clashed and the Aronsons claimed it was
because they were Jewish. The Aronsons sought help from the ADL after the
Aronsons' police scanner
picked up the Quigleys' conversation on a cordless
telephone. They said they heard the Quigleys discuss a
campaign to drive them from the upscale
neighborhood with scare tactics, including putting
pictures of Holocaust ovens on their house and
tossing lampshades and soap on their lawn. Based on recordings of those calls, they sued
the Quigleys in federal court, prosecutors charged
the Quigleys with hate crimes, and the ADL's
regional director denounced the Quigleys as
anti-Semites. Authorities later discovered the recordings were
illegal under new federal wiretap restrictions.
Criminal and civil complaints filed by the Aronsons
were eventually dropped or dismissed and the
Quigleys countersued the ADL. In a statement, the ADL said it was disappointed
the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. The
organization said it will continue to fight
"hatred, racism, bigotry, extremism, anti-Semitism
and threats to our democracy."
