SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 18 – Photographer Henry
Grossman was invited to
Sammy's Roumanian Steakhouse
in 1981 and took photos of
Robert Durst with his former
wife Kathleen McCormack whom
Durst was later charged with
killing.
In 2017,
the TV show "Murder Made Me
Famous" used the photo.
Grossman Enterprises LLC sued.
On August 18 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
defendants said the photos
were shown for thirty seconds
in a more than half an hour
show.
Judge Liman
referred the case for a
settlement conference before
SDNY Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave. If that doesn't work,
there is a status conference
in 11 months, on July 7,
2021.
Defense lawyer
Steven Mintz quipped, I'd make
a Richard Liebowitz joke now,
but I don't.
Judge Liman
deadpanned, Mister Liebowitz,
are you asking for statutory
damages?
Counsel laughed.
The case is
Grossman Enterprises LLC v.
Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. et
al., 20-cv-3023 (Liman)
