Man’s Victory Over Church
November 5, 2007 11:14 am American, Lawyers, Court cases, NewsAlbert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania, sued the Westboro Baptist Church after members demonstrated at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq. On Wednesday the church was ordered to pay 10.9 million to the father for what they had done at his son’s funeral. I remember when this hit the news, I was shocked that this church would disturb a family on one of their worst days. The award is worth more than the church itself, so the church will be forced to ‘go out of business’ and I think that is great!
