DC: The lawyers for Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann filed a $275 million lawsuit against NBCUniversal on Wednesday. The lawsuit alleges that the network “published false and defamatory accusations” against the 16-year-old.
“NBCUniversal attacked Nicholas by relying heavily on biased and unreliable sources without conducting any reasonable investigation of the circumstances surrounding the January 18 incident,” the suit reads, which Sandmann’s lawyer posted on Twitter, as reported by The Washington Times.
Today, @LLinWood and I filed a $275,000,000 lawsuit against NBCUniversal on behalf of Nicholas Sandmann. The facts of the suit show the anti-Trump narrative NBC pushed so hard. Here is a link if you wish to read it: https://t.co/X6v4HBqxXkpic.twitter.com/jcRTnWh5hl

A January video went viral that allegedly showed Sandmann and his classmates taunting a Native American man, with many outlets reporting that they were the instigators in the conflict, but it turned out only to distort the actual events that unfolded. The longer video showed the students had seemingly been harassed by a group of “Black Hebrew Israelite” protesters, which had not been seen in the original viral clip. MORE
He won’t get all of it, but he’ll get just enough to make them cry 😀
@MJA; If he gets the right jury he may get it all and then some. If NBC loses and wants to appeal they have to put up the cash some sort of trust account and pay interest on that amount while the appeal goes through. If he wins it will encourage others to come forward and start tying up the MSM in court and cutting into their profits.
Makes me look forward to my Comcast/Infinity bill going up another $20 a month!
woohoo!
Time for a change I know!
The very first video I saw was an hour-long one that began with the ‘black Israelites’ or whatever they called themselves. Not that I watched it, but it was available from Day 1.
Hope he takes them for a ton, plus punitive.
Nick Sandman and Loy-yas – many millions.
NBC U – many millions of LOST revenues.
Nick and All of his friends that were there on those famous steps of LIBERTY now high fiving and smirking away with each other…?
PRICELESS.
“you will get tired of winning” – DJT, presidential rep candidate.
I disagree, respectively, I will never get tired of this type of winning.
“Big bad corporation lies about, tries to discredit minor” really doesn’t have a valid rebuttal.
Oh, yeah, they’ll pay.

The wanton, deliberate and gratuitous nature of how this went down makes it in the defendant’s best interest to start negotiating a settlement.
The demand is not in any way unreasonable. Summary judgement for the full amount would not be out of the question in my mind.
