A big "Yuuuuup" to this thread of rebuttals / context. I'm completely pissed off at media entities for refusing to acknowledge the school district was legally prevented from responding. Bringing this lawsuit is, to me, without a doubt the worst possible thing the family could do. Now all the narratives they could prevent from hitting the media will become matters of public record. In my personal opinion, I don't think a jury will be sympathetic at all - and probably quite the contrary - it's as though a lesson wasn't learned and is being used as an opportunity for exploitation. As Hank Hill was fond of saying, "That boy ain't right" and Karma is owed its due.
