Cov Cath: Judge rules lawsuit against Washington Post can continue

By Thomas A. Smith

CINCINNATI – A federal judge is allowing a portion of Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann’s lawsuit against The Washington Post to continue after first dismissing the case.

After reviewing an amended complaint, Judge William Bertelsman ordered Monday that the case could enter the discovery phase and hence a portion of the lawsuit against the newspaper could continue.

Nick and his attorneys had alleged that the gist of a  Washington Post article conveyed that Nick had assaulted or physically intimidated Nathan Phillips and engaged in racist conduct after the Right to Life March in Washington D.C. on Jan. 18.
