L. Lin Wood, the lawyer for Covington, Ky., Catholic high school teen Nick Sandmann, has released a damning video as evidence in a pair of lawsuits against CNN and The Washington Post, condemning both for their “reckless lies” about his client.
This week the teen’s legal team filed a $275 million lawsuit against CNN over its alleged false attacks the Left-wing anti-Trump network (and other media) made against him in January.
Todd McMurtry, one of Sandmann’s lawyers, said on Fox News Tuesday: “It is a significant lawsuit seeking $75 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages from CNN.”
Earlier, the legal team filed a $250 million suit against the Washington Post.

Go Nick! Enjoy your moneu! Buy lots of man toys
Sue them all, and the celebrities who condemned the innocent boy.
Wonder how the other 79 potential haters sleep every night knowing that they will be sued for big bucks? Lin has a team of 9 lawyers working on the suits. He is not fooling around and is a winner in this arena. Best part is that the 81 defendents have to individually defend themselves. Can’t move to join together to reduce costs. Hate speech is expensive when you go after a private citizen who is a minor and innocent. Pay up you haters.
I presume the settlement will make the Covington kids satisfactorily well-to-do. But I hope it goes a step further. Every offending news organization should have to do on-air and in-print mea culpas, scripted appropriately so that there is no hedging, repeated often enough and long enough to offset the public perceptions the offending statements were designed to induce. How many repetitions of a correction does it take to recall a lie? In terms simply of comparative airtime, does it take a factor of ten?
Let justice begin!!!

Good luck to Nick and his legal team!
LOL, OUCH!! Let them open their wallets like they opened their mouths!
Maude Behar and Jim Acosta should be on this list.
At his high school graduation, Nick Sandmann admits that he always wanted to own a media empire and thanks the wise Native American Elder for making it possible.
Awesome!
This video is prepping the eventual jury to be predisposed to favor Nick Sandmann. With this video getting out, CNN and the Washington Post will not let this case go to trial; they will open up their checkbooks and ask how many zeros should be in the number.
I’m not on the same page with you on that. I would prefer that the 81 defendants be sued together under RICO as well as AntiTrust law.The existence of systematic collusion among them is what gives “the MSM” its toxic power. Apart from that consideration, it’s gonna be hard to justify quarter-of-a-billion dollar claims. WITH that consideration, the proper award is in the billions.
Separate each defendant has to boot his own legal bill. They will settle quickly to avoid the legal bills.
In your post you say that you “presume the settlement will make the Covington kids satisfactorily well-to-do.” I have not seen or heard that Sandmann is going to share in any new found wealth with his classmates. Where did you get that info?
. . . but together they are subject to such serious charges that they cannot afford to settle. If they lose, “the wicked witch is dead."
