Assault lawsuit against Jerry Jones lingers, and it won't have a new judge

The long-standing assault lawsuit against Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, which alleges he forcibly grabbed and kissed a woman during a 2018 postgame celebration, continues to linger without a new judge. The case, which has been dismissed and reinstated several times, still lacks a firm trial date. The plaintiff's attorney attempted to have Judge Aiesha Redmond removed from the case, but a recent ruling denied the effort.

Jones' lawyer praised the decision, stating it was another delay tactic in a case full of such tactics. The attorney representing the accuser claims Judge Redmond has a bias for Jones, while Jones' lawyer argues the motion had no basis in fact or law and was intended to stall the case. The current strategy appears to be replacing Judge Redmond with someone who may provide a more favorable outcome for the accuser's claims, given her previous dismissal of the case before an appeals court overturned the decision.
