Seroxat/Paxil Scientology lawyer also took on Eli Lilly & lost - extract from Church of Scientology Shyster List

--------(end of Church of Scientology Shyster List)-------------
EDITOR'S NOTE: Per his request, the following attorney has been removed from the Church of Scientology Shyster List.
Murgatroyd, George W. ("Skip") -- (address 1: Baum, Hedlund, Aristei, Guilford & Downey, P.C., Suite 950, 12100 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025-7114 / phone: 310-207-3233 / fax: 310-820-7444 / address 2: 6956 Dume Drive / Malibu, CA 90265 / phone: 310-457-5035 / State Bar of California, Member no. 109761)
As of March of 1998, Mr. George W. Murgatroyd''s position is that he does not now work nor has ever worked for the Church of Scientology or any of its affiliate organizations. Indeed, in reply to this list's previous publisher/editor's initial request for confirmation or denial, Mr. Murgatroyd responded with a blanket denial. His answer was accepted on face value and he was immediately informed by that publisher/editor that his name would deleted, which it was done immediately on the next Update of the above list.
After his name was removed, at least four ARS posters provided convincing circumstantial evidence that Mr. Murgatroyd is a member or "patron" of the Church of Scientology who had litigated a lawsuit against Eli Lilly and Company on behalf of an alleged victim of the drug Prozac produced by that company (Mr. Murgatroyd lost) and at least indirectly on behalf of or in cooperation with the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a public interest group established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology. The full texts of these e-mails were e-mailed TWICE by the previous publisher/editor to Mr. Murgatroyd. The first of these messages went unanswered. The second of these e-mails included a demand for more accurate information or a clarification or rebuttal of the contra-indicating information provided to him.
Mr. Murgatroyd responded by faxing a threatening letter to the previous publisher/editor's employer and business associate, through whose ISP and without whose knowledge or permission he had e-mailed his inquiries and demand for accurate information.
Further investigation of Mr. Murgatroyd's past and present litigation history is in our view required before he can be included in the above list. Until then he can only be included in this EDITOR"S NOTE. Therefore, any additional information about this attorney, his career history, his case history, and/or his disciplinary record would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much.
