Exactly as expected. Mommy & Daddy hired an expensive PR firm for him the 2nd after it happened to spin things around, then hired an expensive law firm. Too bad folks like the Central Park 5 didn't have access to high priced spin doctors & attorneys when the likes of Donald Trump ruined more than just a couple of days out of their lives.

My school played against Covington. This kid had earned himself a reputation for being a brat before he acted like a brat in front of the world. The fault lies with him & with the chaperones who did all put pour gasoline over the incident. Not with Washington Post. I hope that the judge makes the mommy & daddy pay for the legal fees for WaPa. They apparently don't want to teach their son how to behave decently, well maybe the court needs to parent those parents.

No, his parents and the lawyer(s) who prompted them to sue will be very rich.

That's clearly what they're wanting. I think they've already milked the cow dry but have no doubt they'll just keep it up.

They could end up having to pay the legal fees for Wapo.

Wrong. What did the "brat" do? Evidence please or you're just as guilty as your beloved news sources.

I'm sure they will milk this story for all they can while they will continue to exploit their son.

Nope. Mommy, Daddy and the kid won't pay a dime in legal fees. It's all about the money for you, huh?

I've taken my five oldest children to several public demonstrations with me over the years and none of them ever reacted with hostility toward anyone when they were confronted with opposition. My two youngest daughters were yelled at when we attended the last demonstration against DAPL. Neither of my daughters reacted with hostility because I taught my children how to react calmly to opposition.

Lol, it's hardly all about the money for me since I'm not the one suing for a quarter of a billion dollars.

Oh heck yes mommy & daddy could end up having to pay the legal fees. That happens all the dang time with stupidly opportunistic suits.

True -- just as guilty as your news sources. And they better all get in line cuz they are all going to be sued.

About time somebody stands up for the innocent.

Covington Catholic High student's lawyer says lawsuit is 'message' for 'weaponized' Washington Post..


This kid is probably going to end up being very rich because there are probably many more of these lawsuits to come. That's what happens when news groups jump off the wall and don't check out the truth in their reporting. Caring not about the lives they may be wrecking.

M-Bob

If they did to my kid what they did to theirs, I probably want to bury them as well.

That's true! Just as guilty as the news sources, as in not guilty whatsoever. So glad you can recognize that.

How much did you stand up for the Central Park 5, Bob?

The PR campaign in recent years to convince the public that the Central Park Five were innocent would qualify as some high priced spin-doctoring I would think.

When a lefty political activist got up in his face chanting and pounding a drum, he stood his ground - and he smiled! The audacity!

I doesn't speak well for your character when a teenage boy can trigger you so hard just by smirking.

The days of letting stories like this go are over. For far too long the lying press has bent on taking down Trump by whatever means necessary, paying no regard to how many innocent they hurt in the process. Now they are finally being held accountable for their lies. Hopefully next we'll see criminal charges against Smollett. Until we ensure that those who perpetrate hoaxes like these are made to pay, these hoaxes will continue.

The young man did nothing and handled himself in a very mature manner. And yet the left keeps on tarnishing his reputation.

From what I hear it was the lawyer that contacted his family this lawyer is getting tired of all the fake Trump bashing and picking on ones that support Trump. Should not be put up with or seen in America.

The State of New York vacated their convictions. In the eyes of the law they are innocent. No spin needed.

Their convictions were vacated on a technicality, that their confession was wrongly introduced into evidence. That doesn't mean they didn't do it, and since the conviction was based mostly on the physical evidence, where the prosecutions case is as solid as it was at the original trial, we can safely say that they probably were guilty. So why does Go Braves show so much sympathy towards them? And if he can show sympathy for rapists, surely he can show muster some up for someone whose only offense was to smile?

I was referring to the 2012 documentary film on the case, which is nothing if not spin.

They aren’t rapists. They weren’t even tried for it the eyes of the State of New York because the trial was vacated. It’s all there in the court documents I linked to. There is no need to use a secondary source that you complain is spinning the truth when I have the primary source available.

The DNA matched only the man who confessed that he was the lone perpetrator. How much spin is needed?

No, the convictions were based on the coerced confessions. The physical evidence didn't match any of them, but did match someone else.
