Alison Melder, the Arkansas Young Republican and former model who spent at least two months heavily corresponding with Bobby Petrino according to his phone records,
has a lawyer and has finally made a statement. Here's an email from Jeff Hagood, of Hagood, Tarpy & Cox in Knoxville...
quote:
"Unfortunately, my client has been drawn into a firestorm that is simply sad. While she did meet Coach Petrino last fall and kept in touch; the truth is that Alison has never in her life been alone with Coach Petrino. She is not a public figure, and any suggestion that she was involved in an extramarital affair with Coach Petrino is false. And it is actionable."
SEC side note: Apparently Hagood is a longtime confidant of and former attorney for Phil Fulmer. Hmmm...
