February 8, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) - One of the attorneys representing Covington High School student Nick Sandmann and his parents confirmed to LifeSiteNews that Native American activist Nathan Phillips will be sued.
Lin Wood, an Atlanta-based lawyer, told LifeSite yesterday that Phillips lies and false accusations against Sandmann and the other Covington students are well documented.
He also said they would be filing the first round of lawsuits "within two weeks." Todd V. McMurtry, a Ft. Mitchell, Ky attorney, is also representing Sandmann and his parents. Doug Schloemer, a Ft. Mitchell, Ky attorney, represents a number of other students and Robert Barnes, a California attorney, is also representing families and students of Covington High School.
The legal action by Sandmanns attorneys is ramping up after notices demanding preservation of evidence for possible slander litigation were recently sent out to more than 50 media, dioceses, and celebrities.
Wood told LifeSite that the list of recipients of the notices continues to grow in number and that the legal team is in the process of sending formal written retraction demands in conformity with statutes in states in which litigation may be filed. They expect to advance to the next stage and file the first round of civil lawsuits within the next two weeks.
Asked about why the Diocese of Covington is still investigating the Washington incident involving the students, Sandmanns attorney responded:

Nick did not utter one word except to quietly urge a classmate to refrain from making any comments...
