COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) - A judge is now weighing whether to allow the lawsuit to move forward by a Covington Catholic student who is suing the Washington Post. The Post is asking a federal judge to throw out the case.
A team of attorneys for the Post faced off with a team of attorneys for Nicholas Sandmann. The Covington Catholic student is just 16 years old, but there are hundreds of millions of dollars at stake here. Not only is the $250-million lawsuit against the Post at stake, but other suits against CNN and NBC for $275 million each as well.
“$250 million is walking around money to Jeff Bezos,” says Lin Wood, attorney for the Sandmanns. “It's walking around money to all these other media conglomerates that make billions of upon billions of dollars. How much is it going to take to teach them a lesson?"

Of course the judge will toss it out, and whats this say about defamation? That the news can defame and hurt you and nothing can be done... When are you people going to get sick of being slaves????
ha ha
liberals are running for Cover
Of course they want the case shut down. It's a cheap out and would declare the paper innocent. We all saw, as the facts presented themselves, that they're not. The defense must think that America took an amnesia pill after the event and the MSM's dogged blame casting. Let the case continue and be decided on evidence, not who can honk the loudest.
Empty Bezos' pockets.
This event will forever be on the shoulders of Nick Sandman what the media did was use its power to cause a child shame and harm.This case must go forward. I wish I had been a chaperone for his school trip.
