ONE DOWN ONE TO GO.

A federal judge dismissed the “interrogation scene” defamation lawsuit by Linda Fairstein and the company that invented the interrogation technique used to grill the teenagers without their parents and the assault and rape in the infamous #CentralParkFive case which was used in the Emmy-nominated miniseries When They See Us. “Because the First Amendment protects non-factual assertions (and because neither defendants Ava DuVernay nor Array Alliance Inc. has sufficient minimum contacts with the State of Illinois to justify haling them into court here), Reid’s complaint is dismissed,” wrote U.S. District Court Judge Manish Shah on Monday.

However, Linda is still suing Ava separately in a defamation suit filed back in March. So we shall see if the court will rule similarly in this delegate matter. The biggest defense to a defamation suit is the TRUTH. Personally speaking, Linda should have been disbarred long time ago not to mention she became a famous author after this ordeal. So glad the Netflix film brought the truth to light no matter how ugly it is and five teenager boys were finally exonerated.
