Ugh, stop getting Lin Wood. The guy is legitimately insane. He only got the Sandmann settlements because there were easy cases to make, and even then, he almost lost them.
From what I can tell so far, Pierce is a lot worse than Wood. But they're both trash, and neither one will have anything to do with Kyle Rittenhouse's defense, no matter how much misleading crap they spew into the media.
It's not that they were "easy cases", it's that Sandmann was not a "public figure". Sadly, a judicially-created doctrine that was originally intended to protect newspapers that criticized politicians has been turned into a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer that negates nearly all media defamation lawsuits.
The Sandmann case would have been an absolutely perfect explosive to chuck into the Supreme Court to force them to finally limit New York Times v. Sullivan. Sandmann was in no way a "public figure", he was just some kid getting hassled by a leftarded minority scam artist. Because Sandmann was not a "public figure" he does not have to prove "actual malice" by the media when they defamed him, so all these media outlets don't get the damn near absolute protection afforded them by Sullivan and they had to choose between begging SCOTUS to make it universal and most likely getting a ruling telling them "no, a 16 year old boy standing on the steps of the Capitol building is not a public figure merely because you decided to call him a racist, you retarded scum" or paying out settlements.
They chose the settlements, which also tells you just how terrified they were of getting BTFO.

He got the sandman case because what he won for Richard Jewel. It's what this guy does and he does it well
He was part of a team. The team did very well. Would you say Kaepernick is the reason the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl?
I'm 2012, Kaep was a huge reason they made it to the SB. 100%
I said a similar thing and got downvoted a lot
He is probably going to go the way of CPL once this gets to court
