Hey folks, help us out. I don’t know ANYTHING about Lin Wood. Can anyone enlighten us as to his creds?
Added Wood, “I’ve been brought in to bring an element of fairness to the accusations being brought against Mr. Cain.”
Wood gained legal fame representing Jewell, the security guard suspected by law enforcement of being involved in the 1996 Centennial Park bombing, which led to two deaths. Jewell sued The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and other news media.
The libel suit against the AJC was dismissed by the trial court. An appeal by Jewell’s estate is pending.
Wood’s reputation, as a fierce and tenacious advocate in the courtroom and in front of TV klieg lights, has brought him a host of celebrity cases.
“He was pretty good at scaring CNN, NBC and the New York Post into quick settlements in the Jewell case,” said Atlanta lawyer Jack Martin, who originally represented Jewell during the criminal investigation. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he employs a scorched-earth policy here.
That observation came from Steve Sadow, another Atlanta lawyer, who calls Wood the “best libel/defamation lawyer in the country.”
Wood, 59, has the track record, working different sides of highly charged cases involving Richard Jewell, JonBenet Ramsey, Kobe Bryant and U.S. Rep. Gary Condit.
and all that is in the Atlantic Constipation Constitution
