L. Lin Wood, nicknamed "attorney for the damned" by former CBS anchor Dan Rather

Rather's face was rubbed in journalistic mud, four of his staff were fired, and within a short time his 43-year (about the same length as Muammar Qadaffi's) career had settled to the bottom..., visited the Sandmann family earlier in the day, according to a news release from Sandmann family attorney Todd McMurtry.
"He is committed to bringing justice to 16-year-old Nick Sandmann and his family," McMurtry wrote.

Wood "often (seeks) eye-popping damages for those he believes have been libeled or slandered in the press," according to a 2011 Washington Post article about his defense of Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain
...the personable but seemingly horny former Godfather's Pizza CEO who coulda been a contenda...
. (Cain had been facing accusations of sexual harassment that derailed his campaign.)
Other notable clients include the family of JonBenet Ramsey, who were suspects in the child pageant queen’s murder, and Richard Jewell, a Centennial Olympic Park guard misidentified as having bombed his workplace in 1996.
