Attorneys Justin Witkin and Daniel Thornburgh, counsel for Samantha Burke, have been authorized to release the following statement (PDF) on behalf of Ms. Burke:
Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy. Mr. Law and Ms. Burke are committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of this child throughout the pregnancy and after the child is born. This remains a private matter and Ms. Burke would hope that out of respect, the media will allow her to prepare for the birth of her child in privacy.
