On February 15, 2008, former Rams safety
Willie Gary filed a $100 million lawsuit in a
New Orleans, Louisiana United States district court against the Patriots, Belichick, and Patriots owner
Robert Kraft seeking compensation for the Rams' Super Bowl XXXVI loss in light of the allegations.
[40] The class action lawsuit was filed by nationally-recognized attorney, Hugh K. Campbell, Jr. Campbell also represented the Rams' season ticket holders in the lawsuit. After being stonewalled by the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, Campbell withdrew the lawsuit on March 10, 2008, on grounds securing testimony from Walsh regarding his possible knowledge of the allegation was an "exercise in futility."
