About L. Lin Wood in brief
Lucian Lincoln \”Lin\” Wood Jr. is an American attorney based in Atlanta, Georgia. He represented Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996. After Joe Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election and Donald Trump made false claims of fraud in the election, Wood litigated on Trump’s behalf to seek to prevent the certification of election results. Wood has represented the family of JonBenet Ramsey in defamation suits. He also represented former U.S. Congressman Gary Condit and Republican political candidate Herman Cain, defending both men from charges of sexual and other misconduct. In 2016, Wood represented Burke Ramsey, older brother of murder victim Jon Benet Ramsey, in a pair of related lawsuits stemming from the CBS network docuseries The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey. On November 13, 2020, a federal lawsuit with Wood as a plaintiff was brought in the United States Court for the Northern District of Georgia for alleged election fraud. Wood requested that Georgia’s handling of absentee ballots had been unconstitutional since March 2020, hence he requested that the court not be allowed to certify its election results in that year.
At the time the lawsuit was filed, Joe Biden had a 14,000 lead over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia; news outlets on the same day projected Biden as the winner in Georgia. Wood later added to his lawsuit to delay certification of Georgia’s election results; he took issue with Georgia’s rationale for such a delay. He has one sister, Diane Wood Stern, born February 1951 and a half sister, Linda Martin, born in 1946. After a school dance, the then 16-year-old Wood returned home to find his father had beaten his mother to death. L. Lin Wood Sr. pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a charge reduced from first-degree murder. He served a little over two years in prison. Wood lived with friends and graduated from Mark Smith High School in Macon, Georgia in 1970. He went on to attend Mercer University, graduating cum laude in 1974, and Walter F. George School of Law, graduating summing up in 1977.
