Kobe’s accuser represented by Richard Jewell’s attorney in civil suit

Slowplay.com Scoop:

Looks like the “sue everyone” attorney has a live one. He is representing Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault prosecutrix in the impending civil suit.

ESPN.com reports:

No trial date is being contemplated for now, L. Lin Wood, an Atlanta attorney representing the woman, said after the brief hearing before U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch.

We at Slowplay.com have long memories, and this lawyer’s name triggered something from way back in 1997:

Jewell’s attorneys say that while they would like some apologies, they and Jewell want financial compensation.

“We’re going to sue everyone from A to Z,” said attorney L. Lin Wood Jr.

“You can’t spend 60 percent of an apology,” he said, referring to a client’s typical share of a settlement after attorneys’ fees. “This litigation is not about principle. It’s about compensation for injury done.”

You’ll remember Richard Jewell was the man falsely accused of the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. His life was basically ruined by the publicity, and he recovered tort damages from multiple parties.
