Former Assistant City Attorney Marlea Dell'Anno alleged that then-City Attorney Jan Goldsmith wrongly fired her in 2015
A jury on Wednesday awarded former San Diego Assistant City Attorney Marlea Dell’Anno $3.9 million in her wrongful-termination lawsuit against the city and former City Attorney Jan Goldsmith.
A spokeswoman for City Attorney Mara Elliott disagreed with the jury’s determination and did not rule out an appeal. “It has been a weight that she’s been carrying since she left the office, and she’s finally able to walk tall and know that her name has been cleared,” Vallero said. “And that’s what she wanted from the beginning.”
“This is a verdict that vindicates my client and clears an unjust stain on her reputation that was created by the City Attorneys Office and Mr. Goldsmith when they fired her for bogus and fabricated reasons,” Gruenberg said. She alleged in her lawsuit that he really fired her in retaliation for refusing to file two misdemeanor cases Goldsmith wanted prosecuted for political reasons. She also told the jury she refused to alter an employee’s negative evaluations because she believed doing so would be unlawful.
