She was only guilty of a misdemeanor.Quote:
A Texas Tech University student convicted of a misdemeanor in the shooting and injury of a homeless man in Nashville filed a defamation lawsuit against a Houston lawyer for a post on Twitter, according to a release from the Quackenbush Law Firm in Amarillo.
The lawsuit was filed against Ben Crump on behalf of Katie Quackenbush and was seeking $40 million in damages $10 million in actual damages and $30 million in punitive damages.
The lawsuit claimed Crump defamed Quackenbush in a Twitter post Tuesday morning where he said she committed "cold-blooded murder."
----------------------------
Crump's original tweet was deleted and replaced with one that did not say Quackenbush committed "cold-blooded murder."
The lawsuit claims the comments were racially-motivated hate speech against white people and were "made solely for the purpose of self-promotion and financial gain."
Hope she shakes him down for some big cash.
