3 unusual facts about Richard Jewell


Richard Jewell

On July 23, 1997, Jewell sued The New York Post for $15 million in damages and settled with the newspaper for an undisclosed amount.

Jewell sued NBC News for this statement, made by Tom Brokaw: "The speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still some holes in this case".

Although CNN settled with Jewell for an undisclosed monetary amount, CNN maintained its coverage was fair and accurate.
