An elderly Florida couple has filed a negligence lawsuit against Spike Lee, alleging that the film director claimed in a Twitter message that George Zimmerman lived at their Sanford home, a mistake that prompted a flood of death threats being directed at them
Elderly Couple Sues Spike Lee Over Tweet | The Smoking Gun
During the whole Zimmerman/Martin fiasco, Lee tweeted this couple's address, and their home was targeted by morons, forcing them to temp relocate. Upon, discovering the error, Lee apologized, and settled with the family for $10,000 in 2012. Well now, the couple claims that they are still being harassed, and have filed another suit estimated at $1.7 million.
Should Lee be forced to pay up again after an agreed upon settlement, or should the couple have asked for more money the first time? All sorts of interesting questions surrounding this.
