Think twice about trashing someone on line
A Lexington attorney has filed a lawsuit over comments posted
on a newspaper's Web site.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that attorney Astrida Lemkins
filed suit Monday against unnamed defendants who posted the
comments on Kentucky.com. Lemkins says in the lawsuit that the
comments were false and defamatory.
She has subpoenaed the Herald-Leader to produce the e-mail
addresses of any individual using the screen name that posted the
comment.
The newspaper said Wednesday the comments had been removed
and the user name blocked from posting.
The story that drew the comments involved Lemkins' representing
of Steve Nunn, a former lawmaker who has pleaded not guilty to
charges that he fatally shot 29-year-old Amanda Ross. Lemkins is
no longer representing Nunn.

Heard a lot about that lately. Facebook, youtube and several others are getting letters from attorneys. I have several saved emails from drunk
postings, I wonder if that would work also?
