Bill and Thread, More on "public figure" Richard Jewell and his lawsuits rcfp.org firstamendmentcenter.org "After he was cleared by the FBI, Jewell sued several news organizations and settled out of court with most of them. But even now, 10 years after the bombing, his lawsuit against the AJC continues to wind its way through the courts. "Jewell appears to have little chance of winning; the courts say he is a "public figure," which makes it very difficult for a person to win a libel suit. And the AJC has steadfastly maintained it did no wrong. But the FBI got it wrong and so did the AJC. It's one thing to accurately report what the FBI is investigating. It's another to invent a fact -- that Jewell was seeking publicity -- to support a theory, and then to not fess up when you find out you were wrong." atlanta.creativeloafing.com I wonder with whom and for how much he settled out of court. I'll keep looking and see what I can find. - Holly
