Strauss-Kahn case 'may be dropped'

The lawyer for the woman who accused former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault has said he believes prosecutors plan to dismiss some or all of the charges.

Attorney Kenneth Thompson told The New York Times that he received a letter from an assistant district attorney offering to meet with his client on Monday, the day before Strauss-Kahn's next scheduled court appearance.
