Lawyer: Strauss-Kahn accuser to meet prosecutors (AP)

[Yahoo! News]

AP - The lawyer for the woman who accused former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault said Saturday that he believes prosecutors plan to dismiss some or all of the charges.

"Should she not be available or should she fail to attend, I will assume that she does not wish to take advantage of this opportunity," wrote the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Artie McConnell.

Thompson told the Times that he thinks prosecutors wouldn't have asked for the meeting unless they planned to give her bad news about the case.

"If they were not going to dismiss the charges," he told the newspaper, "there would be no need to meet with her. They would just go to court the next day to say, `We're going to proceed with the case.'"

Thompson sent an email Saturday to The Associated Press saying he was on a plane and couldn't immediately discuss the issue.
