Far exceeding $75 million in damages, plus far exceeding $200m in punitive damages plus fees and taxes.
You should read it
CNN is toast. AT&T shareholders will raise a stink about the earnings hit. FYI AT&T has made no public statements on this.
You have to read the actual statements and questions by CNN quoted in the court documents to realize how despicable and slanderous their coverage was. I doubt any FReepers ever saw this fake news on television. I live 45 minutes from Covington and am hoping I can secure a seat in one of the courtroom galleries.
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
I read all 48 pages!
AT&T mgmt is going to have to deal with this.
“Watch the parents try to grab that money.”
Wont happen, he’ll be 25 before he sees a nickel. But a good investment for lawyers on contingency. KA-CHING.

I would see that myself. The optics of the sleaziest NY lawyers ATT can get their hands on versus a boy who shaves maybe once a week whether or not he needs it will be UGLY. Which is why they will try to draw this out as long as possible, the rat bastards.
POST IT, POST IT, POST IT!!!!
Every day just post it, it’s the only way to keep it fresh. How often do the good guys get to go after “them” to officially expose their propaganda and make them pay. We need to rub every liberal nose in this issue.
Post It!!!
Sandman is not a public figure.
So defamation law will apply.
I guess that the suit is asking for dmages as well as punative damages because of the provable malice involved.
We all should be wearing the red hats.
$200 million against the Compost and CNN “to deter them from committing this again”. Sounds a little light. Bezos and AT&T have deep enough pockets, should have been a round Billion each.
Well the jury can make any award it wants. A billion sounds about right.
How nice. I hope CNN has to fire lots of reporters to make up for the money they will loose.
The Wise Rabbit hath spoken!
Yep. I hope AT&T fires Zucker too.
