In his March 5 filing, Meyer set the groundwork to countersue the newspaper, arguing Krupski couldn't bring a malicious prosecution suit unless the judge either dismissed the Camera's suit in her favor or denied the paper's motion to dismiss. Meyer, when reached for comment Thursday, said he was unable to discuss Wednesday's filing because he had yet to receive it. Krupski, who had worked for the Camera since June 1996, resigned on Dec. 11. In testimony, it was shown that Krupski attempted to enter the newspaper's Pearl Street offices 10 times the night of Dec. 10, but her electronic pass card was rejected. The newspaper had revoked Krupski's access to the building prior to that night because managers assumed she had abandoned her job.
