It’s kind of amazing that reporters aren’t digging into exactly how much the WP and CNN paid to make the Covington Catholic Nicholas Sandmann’s suit go away. The fact they settled is tacit acknowledgement that their coverage was biased and wrong.

[GnuThere]

Do you mean his HS?
I thought he just now graduated.

[Paladin2]

Sandman now has a nest egg to take one or more of the remaining miscreants to trial, though the last 6 cases are likely weaker than the first two.

[SkyDancer]

Maybe, I thought he was in college.

“””Not amazing at all. Without a doubt, those settlement agreements provide for non-disclosure. “”””””’’’

Sandmann should write a tell all book and reveal everything. As we have recently learned, NDA’s have no meaning.

Just ask Bolton and Mary Trump.

[MinuteGal]

I'll bet the last 6 cases will be quietly settled out of court per the desires of both sides in each case.

Sandmann lawyer: Letters sent to New York Times, Today Show, 50 others may precede suits

The organizations and individuals put on notice in early 2019 are listed there.

Just remember the kid will never have to work for a living, but then no one will hire him once they learn who he is. So $8 million will be just his due, unless they tacked on damages, then the pay out will be much much higher.

Seriously doubt that $100,000 is what he’s getting per suit - add a zero at least.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hard to imagine it being less than seven figures.And presumably his lawyer got a third.

[Shark24]

We are well beyond using logic and giving the benefit of the doubt to all of the leftest entities. It is not a debate now but something very different....

The kid’s attorney, L. Lin Wood, doesn’t settle for chump change.

From wiki: “On November 30, 2012, CNN covered the DaVita Inc. Medicare and Medicaid fraud lawsuit pending in which Wood was a lead attorney for the plaintiffs.[19] The lawsuit was settled in 2015 for nearly $500 million plus attorneys fees”

As a minor his parents would file on his behalf. Upon reaching legal age he is able to file again on his own behalf. Settlement probably has a clause to prevent filing on his own behalf.

The other four should have settled!

High school. He was 16 at the time.

[Moorings]

Yup. Some people on earlier threads were wondering if the boy made any significant money. It would be nice if the boy is set financially because he will need it. However, just the fact that these liars pretending to be journalists had to write a check for their smear job is very satisfying. Moreover, I don't think the boy's high priced lawyer would have settled for small potatoes. Even his fees would have been substantial.

Taking one case to trial would be a better spectator sport than all of the current instances of the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB and NFL combined.

It's not human nature to clean out one's own dirty closet especially when they have proverbial home buyers they are trying to sell an election to.

Here's the thing. This will get hardly any.attention while the orifinal narrative that was pushed around this kid remains: Bad Orange Man and anyone who supports/votes for him are all kinds of deplorable.

[SkyDancer]

Kay TNX. And didn’t his HS come out against him?

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

My swag? Settled for $90 million and expenses, Lin Wood & council 33% Sandmann 67%.

Happy days are here again, especially after WaPo.
