Yes, but I don't know how they can possibly win a case (unless they get an "OJ" jury!), since Sharptoon himself was sued and lost and was supposed to pay the prosecuter in the Tawana Brawley case about $180K for defamation, as I recall.
I don't think they have a case whatsoever, and are just hoping for an out-of-court settlement.....
