Patrick Reed's Defamation Lawsuits Dismissed by Federal Judge

A federal judge in Florida has dismissed golfer Patrick Reed's $750 million defamation lawsuits against the Golf Channel, various commentators, and media outlets. The judge ruled that Reed's complaints did not provide sufficient evidence of actual malice, and many of the statements in question were not specifically about Reed or were matters of opinion. Reed had accused the defendants of conspiring to destroy the LIV Golf Tour and labeled him as a cheater, liar, thief, murderer, and someone who accepts blood money from terrorists. The judge will decide whether the defendants are entitled to recover attorney's fees and court costs from Reed.

Dismissal of Tulsa Reparations Lawsuit Leaves Survivors Disheartened

An Oklahoma judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking reparations for victims and descendants of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. The lawsuit, filed in 2020, argued that the destruction of Tulsa's Black neighborhood during the massacre continues to impact the community. The plaintiffs demanded compensation, a detailed accounting of lost property and wealth, the construction of a hospital, and the creation of a compensation fund. The judge's decision was based on arguments that the financial burden on the government would be significant. The survivors' legal team plans to appeal the ruling, stating that the dismissal is another example of the disproportionate burden borne by the Black community.
