| 2003-10-29 | |
| James Nichols, the brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, says he was tricked into appearing in the documentary "Bowling for Columbine," according to a federal lawsuit filed against filmmaker Michael Moore. Moore ro’Moore took millions of people in. Nichols also alleges in the lawsuit, filed Monday in Detroit, that Moore libeled him by linking him to the terrorist act. Nichols accuses Moore of libel, defamation of character, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. His lawyer is asking for a jury trial and damages ranging from $10 million to $20 million on each of nine counts, the Detroit Free Press reported. A message seeking comment was left Tuesday with Moore’s publicist.
Big mistake. In the lawsuit, Nichols, who lives in Decker, said Moore misled him about the purpose of the interview. ro’Moore’s a bigger liar than Clinton. "Bowling for Columbine" won the feature-length documentary Academy Award earlier this year. An incident that told me that documentaries can be mendacious without being reclassified. | |
