Was Hansen Lawsuit An Attack On Wes Lane?
A malpractice lawsuit filed against former Oklahoma County District Attorney Wes Lane's wife in the midst of last year's contentious election in which Lane was upset by Democrat David Prater has been dismissed because the plaintiff and her attorney failed to pursue it.
The action, or lack of it, by Sandra K. Ditto and her attorney, David Thomas, has fueled speculation the lawsuit was filed only to hurt Lane's reelection bid. The dismissal came because Ditto and Thomas failed to have Lori Hansen served with a summons within 60 days of the filing of the case as is required.
The lawsuit against Lori Hansen was dismissed in January. It accused Hansen, a former doctor, of operating on Ditto in October 2004 while under the influence of prescription painkillers. Hansen retired in 2005 and has denied the allegation in the lawsuit.
