The family of a Catholic school student at the center of a confrontation with a Native American elder in Washington, DC, has hired a high-profile attorney, according to a report.
L. Lin Wood, who is known for aggressively pursuing libel and slander lawsuits against media outlets, is committed to bringing justice to 16-year-old Nick Sandmann and his family, the familys other lawyer, Todd McMurtry, said in a statement, according to WCPO.
The Atlanta-based Wood represented JonBenet Ramseys brother in a $750 million defamation suit that accused CBS of ruining Burke Ramseys reputation after a TV series suggested he killed his 6-year-old sister.
The terms of the settlement reached this month were not disclosed.
Wood also represented the family of Richard Jewell who was wrongly accused after the 1996 Olympic park bombing in a libel case against the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
In 2011, the Washington Post described Wood as a trial attorney who has carved out a successful career representing the high-profile and falsely accused, often seeking eye-popping damages for those he believes have been libeled or slandered in the press.

Yup! Despite the truth being revealed, this kid will forever be at the point of: “Say, aren’t you the one that attacked that elderly native American?” Possibly anyone named Sandmann might be at risk.
Take ‘em to the cleaners!
Good
Sue the bastards
Enter Sandmann
Exit light, Enter night.
Yep. These smears will follow the kid the rest of his life. College applications, job interviews, etc. He might as well get paid for it.
I wish the NY Post would stop calling these kids “MAGA teens.” It plays into the Left’s portraying this incident as Trump supporters “getting what they deserve” for wearing “racist” MAGA hats. The hats have absolutely nothing to do with what happened. The vile Black Hebrew Israelites and the PR-seeking “elder” Nathan Phillips would have done exactly what they did even if the kids weren’t wearing MAGA hats.
In Jesus name, I pray we see more and more libelous and slanderous anti-Christian, anti-conservative individuals and organizations sued into bankruptcy and obscurity.
Good! Sue ‘em into bankruptcy. Burn them down.
I join you in that prayer
Say, arent you the one that attacked that elderly native American?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You forgot to mention he singlehandedly fought every battle in Viet Nam.
MAGA hat teenager is better than putting his name in the headlines again
It wouldn’t have the same impact if the media said ...refrigerator repairman who got drunk and went AWOL numerous times.
Rambo Recon Ranger sounds way cooler.
Good. Sue the butts of the media, the Radical Indians, the black Israelites, specific commentators who ginned up the issue they imagined. It’s the only thing the maniacs will understand. I hope all the lads who were verbally abused get a free college education out of settlements.
Is there a valid legal defense fund for these kids?
Is Glory Alred not available?(/s)
“.... cooler....” I get it.
