Following his graduation from law school in 1977, Wood worked for decades as a personal injury lawyer, focusing on medical malpractice litigation.[2] He later became known as a "celebrity lawyer" specializing in defamation lawsuits. Wood first drew media attention in relation to his representation of Richard Jewell,[3][4][5][6] the security guard falsely accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996. Wood's representation of Jewell helped transform him from a personal injury lawyer to a nationally known defamation lawyer.[1]

By 2020, Wood was frequently garnering attention through his promotion of conspiracy theories, both in his capacity as a lawyer and as a political commentator and social media personality.[1] After Joe Biden won the presidential election, Wood promoted conspiracy theories on Trump's behalf, falsely claiming that Trump had won the election with 70% of the vote, and that a secret cabal of international communists, Chinese intelligence, and Republican officials had contrived to steal the election from Trump.[7][8] Sometimes in association with Trump attorney Sidney Powell, Wood litigated on the president's behalf in many failed lawsuits, which sought to prevent the certification of legally cast ballots in the presidential election.[9] In one such case before the District Court in Michigan, Judge Parker suggested that their motive for filing the case was to shake "people's faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government"[10][11] and that granting their requested relief would "greatly harm the public interest."[12] The city of Detroit moved for Wood and Powell to be referred for disbarment.[13][14]

In the latter part of 2020, Wood's social media activities attracted considerable attention. Wood called for the imprisonment of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, based on the conspiracy theory that the two Republican officials worked with the Chinese to help rig the vote for Biden.[15] Wood made allegations against U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts reflecting QAnon conspiracy theories that Judge Craig A. Karsnitz of the Delaware Superior Court described as "too disgusting and outrageous to repeat."[16] He suggested that Vice President Mike Pence would "face execution by firing squad" and called for the arrest of then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, both for treason.[17][18] Judge Karsnitz revoked Wood's permission to appear pro hac vice before the Court and in his statement of reasons expressed "no doubt" that Wood's tweets (along with "many other things") played a role in inciting the storming of the United States Capitol that occurred in January 2021.[16]

In addition to representing Jewell and Trump, Wood has represented the family of JonBenét Ramsey and former U.S. representative Gary Condit in defamation suits.[1][19] He was also hired by Republican political candidate Herman Cain to respond to allegations of sexual harassment.[20]

Early life

Lin Wood was raised in Macon, Georgia beginning when he was three years old. He stated that his family struggled financially with frequent episodes of domestic abuse involving his parents.[2][21] He has one sister, Diane Wood Stern, born February 1951, and a half-sister, Linda Martin, born in 1946. After a school dance, the then 16-year-old Wood returned home to find his father had beaten his mother to death.[2][21][22] L. Lin Wood Sr. pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a charge reduced from first-degree murder.[23] He served a little over two years in prison. Wood has stated that it was this experience that solidified his earlier decision to become a lawyer.[2][21][22]

Wood lived with friends and graduated from Mark Smith High School in Macon, Georgia in 1970. He attended Mercer University, graduating cum laude in 1974, and Mercer University School of Law, graduating cum laude in 1977.[24] He was admitted to the Georgia Bar.[25] From 1977 to 1996, Wood litigated personal injury cases and medical malpractice cases in the State of Georgia.[2][21]

Career

Richard Jewell

Wood's first libel and defamation client was Richard Jewell,[3][4][5][6] the security guard falsely accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996. Wood sued a number of media outlets, as well as Jewell's employer. Wood reached monetary settlements from Jewell's employer, CNN, and NBC, while Time published a clarification, but paid no settlement.[26] In 2012, after fifteen years of litigation, the Georgia Supreme Court upheld trial court decisions ruling against Jewell in his libel suit against the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.[27]

JonBenet Ramsey

Jewell was quickly followed by other high-profile cases, including John and Patsy Ramsey, the parents of JonBenét Ramsey, whose 1996 murder is still unsolved.[28] Wood represented John and Patsy Ramsey and their son Burke, pursuing defamation claims on their behalf against St. Martin's Press, Time Inc., The Fox News Channel, American Media, Inc., Star, The Globe, Court TV and The New York Post. The lawsuit against Star was settled.[29]

John and Patsy Ramsey were also sued in two separate defamation lawsuits arising from the publication of their book, The Death of Innocence. The suit was brought by two individuals named in the book as having been investigated by Boulder police as suspects in JonBenét's murder. The Ramseys were defended in those lawsuits by Lin Wood and three other Atlanta attorneys, James C. Rawls, Eric P. Schroeder, and S. Derek Bauer. The lawsuits against the Ramseys were dismissed.[30]

In 2016, Wood represented Burke Ramsey, older brother of murder victim JonBenet Ramsey, in a pair of related lawsuits stemming from the CBS network docuseries The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey. The first suit was filed against Dr. Werner Spitz, a Michigan-based forensic pathologist, over his assertion in a promotional CBS Detroit radio interview that Burke killed his sister when a young child.[31] The other suit was against CBS and other parties involved in the docuseries, where the same allegations were made. Both lawsuits were settled out of court.[32]

2020 elections and QAnon

Wood with President Donald Trump in March 2020

Wood has claimed without evidence that Trump won the presidential election with 70% of the vote, and that a secret cabal of international communists, Chinese intelligence, and Republican officials had contrived to steal the election from Trump.[7][8] While litigating on Trump's behalf, he falsely asserted to the media and in court that more votes were cast in Michigan during the 2020 presidential election than the entire population of eligible voters in the state, a conclusion he drew from a mistaken comparison of the Michigan vote total with Minnesota population data.[33]

Wood has circulated multiple debunked videos alleging that Cobb County, Georgia shredded evidence of voter fraud in the November 2020 general election, and his Twitter profile includes the hashtag #WWG1WGA (where we go one, we go all), which is associated with the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, though Wood has denied being a supporter of QAnon, and defended himself using the hashtag because it "stands for unity".[34][35]

Wood called for would-be Republican voters to "threaten to withhold your votes" and monetary support for Georgia's Republican candidates for the Senate, incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, if they did not demand "investigations" into the election.[36]

Some Republicans have cast doubt on Wood's efforts to assist Trump by referring to Wood's donations to numerous Democratic candidates for office as recently as 2018.[37] Due to his past support of Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, Wood was accused by Breitbart of "sabotage" against Republicans, specifically against Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in the January 2021 runoff elections for both of Georgia's Senate seats. Wood rebutted the allegations on Twitter, writing, "Breitbart is dishonest. Historically, I am nonpartisan. This year, I was partisan because I love [Donald Trump]" and describing hundreds of thousands of dollars he had donated to Republican-affiliated candidates and political action committees in 2020.[38]

At the end of December 2020, Wood launched a series of baseless allegations on Twitter: he implied that Chief Justice John Roberts was involved in the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, suggested that Roberts was a child trafficker, declared that the deceased Jeffrey Epstein was actually alive, and that Epstein could reveal the truth about Roberts.[39][40] At the start of January 2021, Wood declared his belief that Vice President Mike Pence would "face execution by firing squad" for "treason", after Pence's lawyers fought a lawsuit which was aimed at making Pence refuse to count electoral votes for Joe Biden.[17] Wood also called for Chief Justice Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to be arrested for treason. Wood was criticized for these comments, and responded by insisting that he is not insane.[18][41]

In early January 2021, Wood continued promoting unfounded conspiracy theories linked to QAnon, alleging that Chief Justice John Roberts had committed child rape and child murder, and was being blackmailed for this by ten intelligence agencies of various nations. Wood said that hacker group Lizard Squad obtained the information; a former member of Lizard Squad denied this. Wood also baselessly claimed that QAnon supporter Isaac Kappy was murdered for attempting to transmit the information to then-President Trump (Kappy committed suicide in 2019).[42][43] On January 11, 2021, Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig A. Karsnitz gave Wood's social media postings in his published reasons for an order revoking Wood's right to appear before the court.[44][45] Karsnitz described the allegations about Chief Justice Roberts as "too disgusting and outrageous to repeat," and stated that he had "no doubt" that Wood's tweets (along with "many other things") played a role in inciting the storming of the United States Capitol that occurred only a few days before.[16]

His Twitter account was permanently suspended after the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, following his false claims that members of the pro-Trump mob were antifa activists in disguise and that Vice President Mike Pence was a "child molester".[46][47][48] Wood subsequently called for the execution of Pence on Parler, writing, "Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST."[47][48] Parler removed several of Wood's posts due to violations of their community guidelines, including the one calling for Pence's execution.[49]

Lawsuits
See also: Post-election lawsuits related to the 2020 United States presidential election

On November 13, 2020, a federal lawsuit with Wood as a plaintiff was brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia; this lawsuit alleged that Georgia's procedures for handling absentee ballots had been unconstitutional since March 2020, hence Wood requested that Georgia not be allowed to certify its election results.[50][51] At the time the lawsuit was filed, Joe Biden had a 14,000 vote lead over Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia; news outlets on that same day projected Biden as the winner in Georgia.[50][52] Wood later added to his lawsuit further rationale to delay certification; he took issue with Georgia's recounting of votes.[53]

Wood's lawsuit failed on November 19, 2020, when a Trump-appointed district court judge found "no basis in fact or in law" to stop Georgia's certification of its election results at such a late stage, as this would "breed confusion and potential disenfranchisement". The judge ruled that Wood had no legal standing to bring the lawsuit, and had brought the case too late. Wood failed to show that he had been harmed, while his proposal would "harm the public in countless ways".[54][55][56]

A three-judge panel on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit unanimously affirmed the district court's decision on December 5, 2020, because Wood had "fail[ed] to allege a particularized injury", and in any case, his request to delay certification was moot because Georgia had by then already certified its election results.[57][58]

On December 7, 2020, Wood lost one of the federal lawsuits he litigated with Sidney Powell in Michigan, where they had argued to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state and award the victory to Donald Trump. In denying their request for relief, U.S. District Judge Linda V. Parker stated that the plaintiffs had only offered "theories, conjecture, and speculation" of potential vote switching, that the "ship has sailed" for most of the relief requested, and that much of what was sought "is beyond the power of any court".[12] Parker also suggested that Wood and Powell's motive for filing the case was not to win, but to shake "people's faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government"[10][11] and that granting their requests would "greatly harm the public interest."[12] The city of Detroit has called for sanctions against the plaintiff's in the case as well as their counsel;[13][14] the motion[59] submitted to Judge Parker on January 5, 2021, calls for Wood, Powell, and other 'Kraken lawsuit' counsel, to be referred for disbarment and sanctions from state bar disciplinary bodies.[14][60]

On December 18, 2020, a federal lawsuit with Wood as a plaintiff was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Wood sought an emergency injunction to halt the Senatorial runoff election for the two United States Senate seats from Georgia. The complaint contained a remarkable typographical error in that it was verified by Wood "under plenty of perjury" rather than "under penalty of perjury".[61] U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. denied Wood's request for a temporary restraining order on December 28, 2020, stating that Wood lacked standing to file the lawsuit, that his claims of potential voter fraud were "too speculative,"[62] and that overall the lawsuit had "no basis in fact or law."[44]

Based on his actions in election-related cases, Judge Karsnitz ordered Wood to show cause why his right to appear pro hac vice in a Delaware Superior Court defamation case where he was representing Carter Page; Wood's right to appear was revoked on January 11, 2021.[16] In explaining his decision, Judge Karsnitz wrote[45] that Wood's actions in the Georgia and Wisconsin election-related lawsuits "exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication, and surprising incompetence."[44] Karsnitz agreed with Judge Batten that the Georgia lawsuit was a "textbook [example of] frivolous litigation,"[16] and stated that the initial pleadings in the Wisconsin case "would not survive a law school civil procedure class."[44] Judge Karsnitz concluded that he was satisfied that "it would be inappropriate and inadvisible to continue Mr. Wood’s permission to practice before this court."[44] In issuing the order, Karsnitz was highly critical of Wood's social media postings, though he stated that his decision was based on Wood's litigation conduct.[16]

Other significant lawsuits and clients

Wood represented former U.S. Congressman Gary Condit, and the alleged victim in the Kobe Bryant case.[63]

In November 2011, Wood was hired by then-presidential candidate Herman Cain, in his efforts to fight off sexual harassment accusations.[20][64]

Wood was a lead attorney in a whistleblower case against DaVita Healthcare. The suit was settled in 2015 for $450 million plus up to $45 million in fees.[65]

Wood is the lead attorney in Nicholas Sandmann's defamation suits against a number of media companies, including CNN and The Washington Post. Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic High School, was a party to the January 2019 Lincoln Memorial confrontation. In January 2020, Wood settled with CNN, and in July 2020, the suit was settled with The Washington Post.[66]

In December 2019, Wood lost a multi-million defamation case for Vernon Unsworth against Elon Musk who had branded him a "pedo guy". The case was lost because the jury felt that Musk's tweet did not properly identify Unsworth, as he was not mentioned by name.[67]

In August 2020,[68] Wood was sued by three of his former law firm colleagues, in a lawsuit which alleged that Wood owed them money because he breached a contract regarding a settlement between them when the trio tried to leave his law firm. The lawsuit also alleged that Wood had fraudulently induced them with "abusive" communications, including that "God Almighty" was directing him. Wood responded that the lawsuit was a "shakedown" for money, claiming that the communications were "irrelevant" and from "a difficult time in my personal life arising primarily from my family's reaction to my faith in Jesus Christ."[35][69][70]

In 2020 and 2021, Wood represented fellow conspiracy theorist and U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district, Marjorie Taylor Greene.[71][1] He also represented Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who aimed firearms towards Black Lives Matter protestors in St. Louis in June 2020.[1]

Personal life

Wood lived in Atlanta, Georgia from 1955 until 2020. In April 2020 he purchased property in South Carolina, and moved there later that year. He formally changed his legal residency to South Carolina in February 2021. In February 2021, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office announced that it was investigating the possibility that Wood had committed voter fraud due to questions over whether Wood had been a legal resident of the state when he cast his vote in the 2020 elections in Georgia. According to Georgia law, if someone moves to another state with the intention of establishing residence, they are no longer a resident of Georgia.[72][73][74]

Wood has four children, two of whom are attorneys.[75] According to documents submitted in court, Wood is estranged from his adult children and his grandchild, reported The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2020.[76]

In 2016, Wood and Mercer University announced a one million dollar fund set up by Wood at his alma mater to be called the "L. Lin Wood Fund for the Enhancement of Mercer Law School".[77]
