The family of Nick Sandmann, the student at the center of a viral confrontation with a Native American protester last weekend, has hired a high-profile libel attorney.
The attorney, L. Lin Wood, "is committed to bringing justice to 16-year-old Nick Sandmann and his family, Sandmanns family attorney Todd McMurtry said, according to a local Cincinnati news outlet.
Sandmann and a group of his fellow Covington Catholic High School students are at the heart of a nationwide controversy that began with a confrontation between them and other rallies at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and since has expanded to include the media coverage of the incident.
Publications initially reported that the high school students, who were in Washington as part of the anti-abortion March for Life, harassed Native American activist Nathan Phillips, but subsequent reporting undermined that narrative and indicated that the students did not instigate the confrontation. Conservatives have encouraged Sandmann to sue outlets for getting the story wrong.
Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather once referenced Wood as the attorney for the damned.
Sandmanns family also almost immediately hired a public relations firm, RunSwitch PR, to handle the fallout from the incident and help Sandmann issue a statement from his perspective.
