What Nolan Wells’ Friend’s Lawyer Said About Social Media
Russell Latino, attorney for one of the friends who was on Horn Island with Nolan Wells on July 4th, told reporters that the word “allegedly” will not protect social media users from a defamation lawsuit. He announced his client had cooperated fully, turned over his boat and GPS and phone, and denied any involvement. He said a PI firm has been retained to track posters nationwide. A credible death threat activated the FBI.
Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether this is a legitimate response to mob harassment — or a calculated move to establish Edmiston as cleared in the court of public opinion before the grand jury decides anything. Because the investigation hasn’t said a word in twenty-five days, and this attorney is already writing the narrative.
The DA sealed the autopsy. The sheriff’s office hasn’t named or cleared anyone. The independent autopsy came back undetermined. Faddis on what happens when an attorney’s threat to sue for defamation opens the door to discovery — and what discovery might reveal.
Nolan Wells was eighteen years old.
