Father Of Dead Marine Ordered To Pay Legal Fees Of Westobro Baptist Church Protesters

UPDATE: The Snyder family is seeking donations to help them continue their suit.
BALTIMORE (AP) — The father of a Marine killed in Iraq and whose funeral was picketed by anti-? protesters was ordered to pay the protesters' appeal costs, his lawyers said Monday.
On Friday, Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps. Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's funeral in 2006.
The two-page decision supplied by attorneys for Albert Snyder of York, Pa., offered no details on how the court came to its decision.
Attorneys also said Snyder is struggling to come up with fees associated with filing a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The decision adds "insult to injury," said Sean Summers, one of Snyder's lawyers.
The high court agreed to consider whether the protesters' message is protected by the First Amendment or limited by the competing privacy and religious rights of the mourners.
WOW.....

i dont get how this worked in the protesters favor. what fees exactly?

Yeah if the protesters are appealing that means they lost the case at the lower level. So why is anybody paying them ? ?

Give it a year or two....and the pastor will be found in the basement with a 14 year old male prostitute with a bottle of viagra, some KY and Power Rangers DVD....

If you take somebody to court, and you lose....you pay. It's a ? up situation, but hey, as nutty as those people were thier rights are protected. They werent on private property when they protest, I dont even know why Mr. Snyder tried to take it to court. LAUCE.
