Story here. Excerpt:

'Michael Jordan stayed winning when he was on the basketball court, and it has carried over to the court room, too. A judge has ordered the woman that falsely accused Air Jordan of fathering her now 17-year old struggle rapper son about $10,000, the cost of the NBA legend’s legal bills.

Pamela Smith’s paternity case was dismissed, leaving many to a speculate a financial settlement was made. However, it looks like she was looking for a payday, which has now backfired.
...
The judge called Pamela’s bogus claim one big publicity stunt, pointing out she hired a publicist before even getting a lawyer … and then dragged Michael through the mud.

The judge ordered Pamela to pay Jordan’s legal bills — $9,704.13. Actually, it sounds like she got off cheap.'

Why are there no criminal charges for her? She should be charged criminally with attempted extortion. The pussy pass is evident here, even though she had to pay his legal fees. People are all happy like she got what she had coming to her... That's not true. If this were a man who was the perpetrator, they'd throw the book at him hard. Because it's a woman she gets off leniently.

The penalty was hardly sufficient, nor will it serve as any kind of deterrant. I bet she made at least 10x more off her attempted fraud than what she's had to pay Jordan and her own lawyers.
