In 2005, Sanders sold the manuscripts to Horowitz, who then sold them to Inciardi and Kosinski. Henley has always maintained the manuscripts weren&#8217;t given to Sanders, so he had no right to sell them.<\/p>\n<p>The case finally went to trial in February of 2024, but was dismissed due to a late disclosure of documents by Henley\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>In the new suit, lawyers for Horowitz argue Henley and Azoff, \u201cknew that Ed Sanders had acquired and retained the handwritten lyrics legitimately and without theft or misappropriation.\u201d The suit accuses the pair of malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more. Horowitz is seeking punitive damages.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement provided to ABC Audio, <strong>Dan Petrocelli<\/strong>, attorney for Henley and Azoff, shared, \u201cDon Henley was a witness and a victim in a criminal trial brought by the Manhattan District Attorney after a formal indictment of Glenn Horowitz by a New York grand jury,\u201d adding, \u201cThe indictment highlighted the dark underbelly of the memorabilia business that exploited the brazen, unauthorized taking and selling of Mr. Henley\u2019s handwritten lyrics. The only malicious prosecution involved here is the filing of this case by Mr. Horowitz.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2025, ABC Audio.
