Westboro lawsuit appeal
BALTIMORE — A federal judge in Baltimore has ordered a Topeka church to post a bond while it appeals a $5 million judgment resulting from its protest at the funeral of a Marine who was killed in Iraq.
The Westboro Baptist Church was ordered Thursday to post its church building and nearly $500,000 in cash and property. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Bennett ruled it would require “extraordinary circumstances” to avoid posting a portion of the judgment.
