"Clock Boy" sues Fox News and others for defamation.

[jamil]

That's good. Expected though.

 

[CavMedic]

IANAL, but it seems that going into a defamation case without any evidence of such is a bad move.

 

[indiucky]

Can we sue based on horrible nicknames bestowed?

Why do you ask Two Dogs Humping?

 

[JTScribe]

Libel case has been thrown out of court.

That seems to be the legal equivalent of a backhand.

 

[SEIndSAM]

That seems to be the legal equivalent of a backhand.

Yep, and recovered Attn fees, which will be at least in the tens of thousands.....Good to see...

 

[Spear Dane]

That seems to be the legal equivalent of a backhand.

Very much so. Dismissed with prejudice (can't refile) and attorneys fees ORDERED...lol.

I am. It is.

Someone should be sanctioned and up for license discipline.

If this was as badly litigated as the reporting indicates clockboy may still recover damages, albeit from his attorney's malpractice carrier!

I don't blame the kid. His dad put him up to it.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Maybe if his clock had been able to measure and display the time. Oh yeah, and not look JUST LIKE A BOMB!!

He bought a fully functional clock and then parted it out. He basically made jean shorts from jeans

 

[Expat]

But he was a hero to Barry S.

Yup.

He took the covers off an alarm clock. Whoop-dee-do. My son's fourth grade class built a robot. It was a stunt. Who knows what the reason was.

Things like this makes “loser pays” seem sensible.

The only thing that bothers me about "loser pays" is that it may reduce the number of lawsuits.

Verse crap lawsuits where the lawyers troll for lawsuits and innocent people are forced to pay for a defense and if they win they are stuck with tons of $$$$$ and the crap person that file the BS lawsuit doesn't have to pay anything
