Filing: Doc shows Jamie McCourt also owns Dodgers

LOS ANGELES — Jamie McCourt’s attorneys say they located an agreement that shows she has an equal right in the ownership of the Dodgers and that it will dramatically alter a bitter struggle for the team.

McCourt’s attorneys filed a motion Thursday asking a judge to allow them to introduce copies of the newly discovered agreement from 2004 between her and estranged husband Frank McCourt.

The filing states the agreements — which Jamie McCourt’s attorneys contend correctly spell out the ownership issue — were uncovered after forensic analysis of other documents filed in the couple’s divorce fight.

The filing states Frank McCourt’s Massachusetts attorneys have admitted they provided the wrong document, one conferring sole ownership of the Dodgers to him.

His attorney, Stephen Susman, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
