Former NBC Chicago Anchor Amy Jacobson is winning in her battle against CBS. She was fired after a bikini video came to light in the media with her and a murder suspect.Jacobson is suing CBS over the way its Chicago station, CBS-2, reported and commented upon the famous incident of July, 2007, in which Jacobson was videotaped in her bathing suit at the home of Craig Stebic, a Plainfield man whose wife had mysteriously disappeared. Thus was born the famous Amy Jacobson bikini video.
Associate Cook County Judge Elizabeth Budzinski upheld four of Jacobson’s eight counts, dismissed three without prejudiced (meaning, as Zorn points out, “Jacobson’s attorney, Kathleen Zellner, can amend and refile them”), and dismissed just one count.
She appears to have some decent legal wrangling left if she is going to win her lawsuit. But I look forward to watching this whole thing play out. I don’t understand why CBS just doesn’t settle it and brush this whole thing under the rug.
