Perhaps a a more salient question, from a legal perspective, anyway: if you were facing a lawsuit in which one of the chief issues was likely to be the validity of the release forms the plaintiffs signed, do you think it would be a good idea to publicly assert that said plaintiffs are addicted to crack?

Williams, of Shefights.net, said Rolle coaxed and bought the testimony of Grayson and 20-year-old Kyle Shaw, the two plaintiffs in the suit. He said he plans to countersue, claiming the men and their advocates lied and have damaged his reputation.

"These men are crack addicts and will say anything for money," Williams said.
Probably not the smartest move on the part of the defendant, IMO. Does it undermine their credibility to say that? I suppose so. Does it broadly suggest they might have been high when they signed the releases? Yes.

Guess which of those two possibilities is likely to matter more to the judge?
