Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik will represent three Mississippi boys who were with Ocean Springs teenager Nolan Wells on Horn Island, according to YouTuber Brandon Tatum, who cited lawyer J. Tyler Cox. Paltzik has represented Donald Trump and other political figures in defamation and media disputes. The Associated Press reported that he also handled a settlement with Paramount over a disputed 60 Minutes broadcast. Wells went missing on 4 July after a boat trip. A park ranger found a body on 6 July, after which the search was called off. The boys have faced online harassment and accusations, according to Hindustan Times. A fundraiser launched by Warren Hudson’s family seeks support for those targeted. No official finding on responsibility for Wells’ death has been reported.
