Replying to Jury fines Internet users $13.8 million - for being mean

I would think that Zimmerman has solid cases against ABC, NBC and CNN for defamation. Their intentionally false reports and internet postings definitely led to criminal charges against him for which he will surely be found not guilty. I'm thinking hundreds of millions at least.

NBC edited his police call to sound like Martin being black was the sole reason he looked suspicious.

ABC compressed the police station video to make it grainier and ran it under a headline saying it showed no injuries.

CNN ran a segment which led viewers to believe he had uttered a racial epithet when in fact he did not.

Oh my! This case covers posts prior to the jury finding them not guilty!

Zimmerman is potentially a trillionaire (no need to mine asteroids).

But before they had even been indicted on the charges, a steady stream of attacks on the Web forum Topix.com started to flow.

The Leshers and their accuser live in the rural Texas town of Clarksville, population 3,500. Because talk of the trial -- online, at the local Dairy Queen and behind closed doors -- had set off such a stir, it was moved to a county a few hours away.

In January, a jury found the couple and their ranch hand not guilty on all charges.

But since reports of the rape allegations had begun to surface last year, the "conversation," rife with sn...

Months down the road, a jury in Collin County, Texas acquitted the couple of all alleged crimes

In other words, the prosecutors and law enforcement did believe that the couple committed the crimes.

A jury found them not guilty.

Lets extrapolate this to the Zimmerman case.

What happens if Zimmerman is found not guilty?

If peoples continue to attack him online, can he sue everyone?

And if employers can be sued (I take it they posted on the employer's computer), then why not website owners and even servers?



This case will be thrown out on appeal.

fuck. are you offended? fuck you.

They sound more fucked up than some other forums I know.

"My wife said she's lost her joy," Lesher said. "She held her head up high, but it's hard. When things get repeated over and over and over again, people say it's got to be true."

Targeting the 178 Posters

In their 365-page lawsuit, the Leshers name the 178 pseudonyms that posted the most defamatory messages. But because of the wa...

I seem to recall someone calling Flan a rapist.

Whoever that was, I hope she has a good lawyer.
