Lawyers: Doc Shows Jamie McCourt Also Owns Dodgers

0

Jamie McCourt’s attorneys said Thursday they have located a document showing she has an equal stake in the ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers and that the revelation will dramatically alter a bitter struggle for the team amid McCourt’s divorce proceedings.

The attorneys filed a motion in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to allow a 2004 property agreement as evidence during a team ownership hearing scheduled to begin Aug. 30. The motion states that Jamie and Frank McCourt signed six copies of the agreement – three of which showed the Dodgers as Frank McCourt’s property, and the three newly discovered documents that indicate Jamie McCourt has an ownership stake.

Jamie and Frank McCourt remain locked in a hard-fought divorce, with the ownership of one of baseball’s most storied franchises hanging in the balance. An attorney for Frank McCourt said all copies of the exhibit should be considered by the judge deciding the ownership issue, but that the newly revealed version does not change the overall agreement and the Boston businessman remains the team’s sole owner.
