Alleged Slur Draws Iranian, Jewish Groups Into Bratz Doll Appeal
Four organizations representing Jewish and Iranian Americans have filed an amicus brief before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that a federal judge who dismissed a juror during deliberations for having described Iranians as "stubborn," "rude" and thieves of others' ideas should also have granted a new trial for the plaintiff, who was born in Iran. The case involves the long-running copyright dispute between MGA Entertainment, manufacturer of the Bratz doll, and Barbie doll maker Mattel.
