He also also successfully defended Richard Jewell.
They made a movie about it.

The media is associating Wood’s craziness with Trump. Clever. First the left makes up conspiracy theories about Trump, telling the gullible for years that Trump is a Russian agent. Then they say people like Wood got their crazy 9/11 Truther conspiracy theories from Trump. The left gets what it wants both ways.
“Who knew he was such a kook?”
A decent percentage of FReepers did. We were trashed for not supporting this retard.
“What about Linn Wood, prior to all this b.s...”

Good question.
"Maybe that’s why Wood, who backed Democrats for years until Trump, is urging Trump supporters to throw the election to the Democrats. Georgia records show that Wood has voted in every general election dating back to 2000, in person in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014—and then via absentee or mail ballot in 2016, 2018, and 2020. State records also show that Wood has not voted in a Republican primary since 2004, but did request Democrat ballots in the 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2018 primary elections in Georgia.""That means that even when Trump was president, in the 2018 midterm elections, Wood requested a Democrat primary ballot in Georgia and voted for Democrats in the primary in the state while Trump was universally backing Republicans there. Wood also did not request primary ballots of either party, the records show, in 2016 or 2020–when Trump was on the ballot in the GOP primary."
"Campaign finance records show that Wood has donated thousands and thousands of dollars to top Democrats like former President Barack Obama, who he gave $2,300 to in 2008 over two separate donations. In 2004, Wood funded the Democrat presidential campaign of then-Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) with $500 split over two separate donations...there at least two other general elections than this one for U.S. Senate in Georgia where Wood has financially backed Democrats over Republicans. This demonstrates that he has a long history of supporting Democrats against Perdue in particular but also against Georgia Republicans in U.S. Senate races in the state."
"Wood also has a long history of donating to top Democrats’ presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional campaigns...per per Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Wood has long backed Democrats for federal office and especially for Georgia offices. Donations to Democrat Party politicians from Wood over a decade plus total more than $40,000, and span from as far back as 2004 through as recently as 2018."
There are a few of us here that knew it early on but got lambasted when we called it out. Wish i could remember the alias of the lawyer poster here that early on said he would be disbarred.
The break up of his law firm and what happened with that was a big clue
He also famously defended Richard Jewell, rather admirably. His specialty is defamation suits, not mass terror incidents.
