Jonathan Turley: “Our Pride is Showing”: NBC Settles With Nicholas Sandmann

Former Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann has reached another settlement with a major news organization over the widespread false reporting of his encounter with a Native American activist in front of the Lincoln Memorial on January 18, 2019.

Charles Creitz: Nicholas Sandmann reaches settlement with NBC in Covington Catholic High School controversy: Sandmann announced on Twitter the terms of the settlement were confidential

Nick Sandmann has now set legal precedent for and jump-started the much needed ability of people to sue the media for slander and libel, something that has pretty much been ignored in the last several decades … and which led to our current ‘fake news’ media trainwreck. Sandmann has expressed his support for Kyle Rittenhouse, and has strongly suggested he and his lawyers seriously consider filing his own lawsuits with the media and others who lied about him and his recent case/trial. That said, I am not in favor of making Rittenhouse a ‘celebrity’. For me, I felt he was ‘not guilty’ as I looked at the circumstances and the evidence and the laws and agreed his was a strong and valid case of right of ‘self-defense’. To me the trial was indeed all about retaining and preserving that right. Now it is time for Rittenhouse to get on with his life the best way he can, and for future legal cases to use his case as legal precedent. His trial was that important for all of us.
