The lawyer for Covington Catholic High School Nick Sandmann just released a devastating video that should have some news organizations and certain celebrities very nervous.
The video destroys the media narrative and exposes what they did to the kid as the smear job of the century.
Lin Wood said he released the full video to show “the full truth” of what happened to his client. Look, the media and others rushed to judge these kids and they have every right to fight back.
In this 24/7 news culture where your whole life can be defined and destroyed by a 30-second video clip, the gatekeepers must do a better job and the courts may be the only place to hold power to account.
Some say a 15-minute video is too long to go viral. Will we allow incomplete 30-second video clips to be basis for agenda-driven false accusations & threats against a 16-year old student? Please share the full truth about what was done to Nick Sandmann. https://t.co/QGglyZwiIa

From The Daily Wire:
Attorneys representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and his family indicated on Friday that they have sent letters for potential lawsuits to over 50 entities ranging from Democratic politicians to celebrities to media figures.
“The legal counsel representing Nick and his family, Todd McMurtry and experienced libel and defamation lawyer L. Lin Wood of Atlanta, have said they will seek justice for the harm allegedly done to the teen,” The Enquirer reported. “McMurtry is with the law firm of Hemmer Defrank Wessels and has practiced law in Greater Cincinnati since 1991. He said a team of seven lawyers has been working full-time to review the media accounts of what happened.”
“This week they have prepared documentation preservation letters addressed to organizations and individuals they believe may have defamed or libeled Nick with false reporting.”
“They know they crossed the line,” McMurtry said. “Do they want 12 people in Kentucky to decide their fate? I don’t think so.”
