Oksana Grigorieva Hires New Lawyer, May Sue Mel

With no settlement or truce in sight in her battle with Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva has added a top criminal and civil attorney to her legal team. James Spertus, a former federal prosecutor and an experienced trial attorney who specializes in civil and criminal litigation, is on Team Oksana. She had met with civil rights campaigner Lisa Bloom as well as with Mark Lane, who wrote the famous JFK conspiracy book Rush to Judgment . As she gears up for this protracted legal brawl , Spertus joins power lawyers Manley Freid and Marci Levine in the Russian musician’s corner. Oksana Grigorieva claims Mel Gibson exploded in rage January 6 at his Malibu mansion and punched her twice as she held their baby Lucia. She is considering filing a possible civil complaint against Mel. Mel and Oksana’s relationship has been controversial from the start. Gibson has accused his ex-girlfriend of trying to extort money from him after recording vile and abusive telephone conversations he made. The Mel Gibson tapes were indeed vile and abusive … verbally. As of right now, Mel Gibson has not been charged with any crime, however. One of Grigorieva’s new lawyer’s immediate missions upon hiring, TMZ reports? Hiring experts who can sweep Oksana’s home for bugs. Sources say Oksana is worried Mel or the media has planted cameras or wiretapping devices and Spertus doesn’t want to take chances. Mel supposedly has his own PIs working the case. The attorney is a nationally recognized expert on computers and other electronic gadgets, so he should have no problem with that task.

New Witness Surfaces in Mel Gibson Case

Testimony from an audio engineer who works with Oksana Grigorieva may have seen Mel Gibson lash out at her, and says he could be a “star witness” in the ongoing domestic violence investigation against the troubled actor. The guy, whose first name is Jimmy, allegedly witnessed Mel verbally tearing into Oksana out at her for months, and has provided a legal declaration stating so. Jimmy has told multiple sources close to Oksana – people who know Grigorieva both on professional and personal levels – that he was with Oksana and Mel every day over a 10-month period helping with her music and can attest to his behavior. According to the sources, Jimmy frequently heard him blast Grigorieva verbally using words all too familiar on the Mel Gibson rants – whore, slut, b!tch, and c**t, etc. – in rants fueled by jealousy when other men were around Oksana. Mel Gibson has problems, but whether he really hit his ex-girlfriend remains in doubt. A new witness corroborates accounts of the actor’s vicious mean streak, though . Jimmy does not say he ever saw Gibson physically abuse Oksana and was not present for the January 6 meltdown when he allegedly struck her. Other witnesses are rumored to have seen the attack occur, but their identities are unclear. Regardless, the engineer has given Oksana’s lawyers a written declaration that includes his ” eyewitness account ” of several alleged fights between Oksana and Mel. L.A. County Sheriff’s investigators have not spoken to Jimmy yet. Last week, Oksana’s bodyguards posted in a statement that they support her 100 percent. Mel has not been charged with a crime and police are also investigating Oksana, with whom he has an eight-month-old daughter, for extorting him. Whose side are you on in this whole mess?
