"Georgia: Final Libel Claim in Olympic Bombing Case Is Dismissed"
A judge has dismissed the final claim in a libel suit against The Atlanta Journal-Constitution filed by Richard Jewell, the former security guard wrongly linked to the 1996 Olympic bombing. Mr. Jewell died of heart disease at age 44 in August. The judge, John R. Mather of State Court, dismissed the final claim Tuesday, said Peter Canfield, a lawyer for the newspaper. The judge had dismissed all but one of 22 claims last year. Mr. Jewell was hailed as a hero after the July 27, 1996, bombing at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. But three days later, the newspaper described him as “the focus” of the investigation (AP)."
He DIED before he got his JUSTICE?!
Sniff, sniff... STINK!
Did the GOVERNMENT KILL HIM?
Check out his AGE, readers!
