And if you were old and frail you'd think when you fall down in a store is a great time to sue the store too.
Americans are such pussies. Every little thing is a reason to go running down to the Courthouse, even if nothing really happened, just because!111
If anything bad really happened to them Spike Lee should offer to help pay for it, not because of the law but because it'd be the right thing to do. If nothing bad has happened - and it presumably hasn't, or the story would have carried it - it's time to get over it.

The law doesn't change. Perry Mason doesn't have a seperate set of law books with different laws in them.
Not a single criminal has ever gone to prison by being prosecuted by the police. Good DA's get a trial all the way across the finish line to a guilty verdict. Good defense lawyers get their man off.
The caliber of attorney means everything in a courtroom, up to and including cases that contain a 'smoking gun'
No worries Yuki, we'll help you out with this confusing legal stuff.

How about just posting a sign saying "no, this isn't where Zimmerman lives, Spike Lee was wrong, see his tweet @suchandsuch"
It's not like they need to live in a bunker for the rest of their lives or anything.
Spike Lee wasn't even the one who strated the misinformation. All he did was quote what someone else said. There was clearly no malice involved. It CERTAINLY isn't a case of punitive damages.

Jesus christ this is just what I'm talking about. The Courthouse isn't the place you go to "teach someone a lesson." The judge's role isn't to sit there and babysit a bunch of 7 year olds.
Courts exist to solve real problems. Not to spank the bad kid.
I am quite confident Spike Lee knows he screwed up. I don't think we need to waste tons of taxpayer money to get an official pronouncement.

It is for me.  Your job is to do my bidding and when I am done with you we'll part company and you'll have more pocket change as will I and someone will learn a valuable lesson!

Get over it, man. An alarm system with some wireless vid cameras is maybe $600 installed. Monitoring maybe $20 a month. (I pay $12). And not 'rest of their lives.' As I said, for 2-ish years until this blows over.
As for reasonableness... do you READ about the stupid that people do out there in the world? At all?

Uh so just like I said, good lawyers matter because of how they build their cases and present the facts. Not because they have some super secret law book that tells them how to invent new laws to charge people under.
