A federal judge has ended the lawsuit brought by Harper Lee against the Monroe County Heritage Museum, The Associated Press reported two weeks after it was reinstated. The suit had alleged that the Alabama museum had profited from unauthorized use of her novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
United States District Judge William H. Steele dismissed the case on Thursday in a one-sentence order after lawyers for Ms. Lee and for the museum filed a joint motion seeking to end the suit. The order did not reveal any settlement terms, but the judge said that both Ms. Lee and the museum will have to pay their own legal costs and attorney fees, which were unspecified.

Still no resolution to who killed the mockingbird!
It was Boo Radley.................
Yes, that's who you think it is................
I thought he killed the lonesome dove.
He killed Bob Ewell...................To save Scout Finch................
Great actor. The guy could play any part.
Copyright infringement in selling merchandise is one thing ... but establishing a museum in a site made famous by a book? That seems a stretch.
Group rejection of the truth to the point of the destruction of justice itself, through serial expressions of personal cowardice, killed the mockingbird.
It's profound because of its ubiquity throughout human history, despite warnings - even from God Himself - of the catastrophe it inevitably brings.
"What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? ... And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's, and if you cut them down and you're just the man to do it do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!"

He was very young then, and although it was not a speaking part, or very little IIRC, it was a main central character to the story line............
For me, it’s DIESEL..................
I really love To Kill A Mockingbird. I wanted Atticus to be my dad when I was growing up!
We here at FRee Republic lived through a real-life “To Kill a Mockingbird” in real time back in 2006.

I think that's wrong to say. My brother knew that team. We at FR just read about it. They lived it.
Atticus! Atticus!
Oh, no. We lived it. This site was early on, the first to figure out that it was an attempted lynching. We discovered first the name of the prostitute who made the false accusation. There’s still a group of us from around the country who stay plugged into the case and other related issues.

That’s all well and good, but your future was not on the line.
