UPDATED 3:16 P.M. EDT (U.S.A.) AdSurfDaily President Andy Bowdoin has filed a corrected affidavit in the civil-forfeiture case, apparently after visiting a notary public earlier today.
An affidavit Bowdoin filed yesterday appeared to have lines and an entire paragraph missing. Today’s filing has 23 paragraphs, as opposed to yesterday’s 22. Yesterday’s filing jumped from paragraph 3 to 5, skipping paragraph 4. Meanwhile, yesterday’s document had two paragraph 16s, one apparently complete and one apparently incomplete.
In a separate brief filed yesterday by Charles A. Murray, Bowdoin’s attorney, there was a reference to Bowdoin having found the fees accepted by defense counsel Steven Dodson “astonishing.” The reference cited was paragraph 17 from Bowdoin’s affidavit, but the word “astonishing” did not appear in paragraph 17 — or elsewhere in the document.
Today’s corrected affidavit by Bowdoin also does not include the word “astonishing” — in paragraph 17 or elsewhere.
Bowdoin’s filing today appears to be numbered correctly, paragraph 1 through paragraph 23, but still appears to be at odds with Murray’s filing yesterday. The reason for the disagreement among documents was not immediately clear.
