Filed in KY where Sandmann lives/goes to school. The KY laws on defamation are VERY much in Sandmann’s favor. He is NOT a public figure so all that has to be proved is ‘negligence’, not malice. Also, since he was a juvenile, he has 2.5 years to bring lawsuits, which his attorney (Lin Wood) has pointed out - says there could be hundreds of lawsuits before this is over. Most will settle before ever getting to court. Wood is not a “wreck chasing” lawyer - he’s a serious, skilled attorney who has made it his life’s work to protect those defamed when they are innocent - became well known when he represented Richard Jewel & since that travesty, he’s been on a mission and taking on the defamation of Nick Sandmann is his latest.

For the Record.......
If the suit is filed in Federal court, Federal law must be the basis, not Kentucky law
At Holiday Inn last week I thought about being a lawyer
