[CV-0119] Piper Lynch v. The Los Santos Network

[Derek C. Holloway]

Piper Lynch v. The Los Santos Network

I. OPENING STATEMENT
To the Honourable Court,

Mrs. Lynch has chosen Harry Kingsman as her legal representative for this case.

On the night of 12th December, 2024, Mrs. Lynch (referred to as the plaintiff) was peacefully spending time at the Ammu-Nation market alongside another journalist, while the police department was hosting a checkpoint. Together, they were also announcing various news updates, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, things took a turn when one of the trainee journalists, Jonathan Hobbs (referred to as the defendant), of "The Los Santos Network" company, made a false and unprofessional announcement. The news statement read: "The SWN reporter Piper Lynch has been seen cheating on her husband with a TLSN reporter." This statement was clearly unprofessional, poorly written, and entirely false. Furthermore, it is important to note that Mr. Hobbs is an active serving officer, and such a lack of professionalism is concerning.

II. EVIDENCE
Here is proof of the news that was announced on that day by the same journalist:

Spoiler

III. DEMANDS

• Compensation of $350,000 United States Dollars.

• A public apology from the director of "The Los Santos Network"

IV. CLOSING STATEMENT
Your Honor, the defendant’s actions have caused serious harm to my client’s reputation through false and reckless reporting. We trust the court will deliver justice and hold the defendant accountable for their misconduct.

Thank you.

Signed,

Harry Kingsman
State Licensed Attorney

The Los Santos Network

CASE # CV-0119
HONORABLE JUDGE PRESIDING:
Kira Hernandez

The First Judicial District Court recognises Mr. Tom Wilson, the witness as provided by the Plaintiff. It also recognises Mr. Elliot Reynolds as the legal representative of the Defendant.

The Court would like to ask the Defendant to provide their opening statement.

Signed,
Honorable District Judge Kira Hernandez

[Elliot Reynolds]

To the honorable Judge Hernandez

Your Honor, The Los Santos Network (TLSN) operates under strict professional guidelines, as clearly outlined in our employee rulebook. These rules explicitly prohibit unverified and defamatory statements and require all journalists to act professionally.

Jonathan Hobbs, a trainee reporter, violated these policies when he made the statement about Mrs.Lynch. His actions were unauthorized and unrepresentative of TLSN's standards. Furthermore, TLSN did not approve or direct this statement, and upon learning of the incident, we took immediate action to address the matter internally.

As such, TLSN cannot be held liable for the independent and unprofessional actions of an individual who chose to disregard our policies. We respectfully request the court to recognize this distinction and absolve TLSN of any responsibility in this matter.


Sincerely yours,
Elliot Reynolds

Piper Lynch v. The Los Santos Network

To the plaintiff:

When did you first hear or see the news ?
I have first encountered it the date it was originally published by the TLSN reporter.

Can you describe exactly what was said or written in the news?
It claimed that Piper Lynch was caught cheating on her spouse.

Do you know the person that made the statement? If so, how?
Jonathan Hobbs is a Recruit officer of the San Andreas Police Department, I have reviewed his application, as I am part of the Recruitment Division of SAPD, Hovewer, we have not interacted in any significant way yet.

Did you personally believe the statement to be true when you first heard or read it? Why or why not?
No, I consider the credibility of the statement to be questionable, I belive it was an insult and not something that can be called "news"
