[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Lin Wood had his license to practice law suspended for mental health issues.

Wood was on the case years ago at the start of the thread, he probably hasn’t been for a while.[/quote]

I’m pp.  Thanks.  Another poster had mentioned Lin Wood and I had forgotten he was no longer on the case.  Right wing media seems to think the dismissal is proof Sandman was paid zillions out of court.  Wouldn’t it be summary judgement if they had settled?  I’m aware that CNN settled earlier.  I still wonder what kind of parents send their teens on sleep away trips halfway across the country with priests.  I hope non of these teens were victimized. [/quote]
I think CNN is the only one that settled. The Post was dismissed earlier and all of these other ones he lost at the summary judgment stage.

[b]And it was settled for a pittance.[/b]  The fact that CNN didn't even have to give a public apology or acknowledgement of wrongdoing is central to illustrating how meager it was.

Face it, there was no "there" there in going after the media on this.[/quote]

Can you provide a link re settlement amount?[/quote]

Can you provide a link re settlement that he got anything with seven digits or more?  Pretty much every attorney and legal expert I've heard or talked to agrees Sandmann just got a nuisance settlement from CNN to make the case go away.  The fact that CNN didn't have to apologize or admit any wrongdoing says it all.  The fact that he couldn't even get a nuisance settlement out of anyone other than CNN says it all.  The fact that Lin Wood, his attorney for the CNN case is dead broke says it all.[/quote]
