Covington Boy's Lawyers to Hit CNN With $250+ Million Lawsuit This Week BY DEBRA HEINE MARCH 11, 2019
In an interview that aired on Fox News Sunday night, lawyer L. Lin Wood said he is filing a lawsuit against CNN Monday or Tuesday for more than $250 million over the news outlet's alleged “vicious” and “direct attacks” on his client, Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann. On Twitter Saturday, the lawyer suggested that the amount could be around $275 million.
Wood, an Atlanta-based attorney who specializes in aggressive defamation suits against the media, was hired by the Sandmanns to bring justice to Nick, whose name was dragged through the mud after a short video clip showing a confrontation between Native American activist Nathan Phillips and the Covington Catholic boys in Washington, D.C., went viral.
Subsequent video clips showed that the Covington kids were viciously heckled by a group of black separatists and responded by doing school cheers. And contrary to the original narrative, the kids didn't mob and block Phillips -- the activist walked right up to them and stopped in front of the MAGA hat-wearing Sandmann while loudly beating a drum and chanting in his face.
Last month, Wood and Sandmann family attorney Todd McMurtry filed a lawsuit against the Washington Post seeking $250 million in both compensatory and punitive damages for smearing their client.
Wood told “Life, Liberty & Levin" host Mark Levin that “CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than the Washington Post," pointing out that CNN reaches millions of homes. Thus, he said the claim against CNN is likely to be somewhat higher.
“They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false," he explained.
Indeed, the Black Hebrew Israelites were the ones spewing vile insults and racial slurs -- at the Covington kids and the Native American group.
