Kentucky Lawyer Sues Web Site Over Posted Comments
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 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 the comments have been removed and the user name blocked from posting. The story that drew the comments involved Lemkins’ representation 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.
