American Airlines Replaces Legal Team Over Controversial Filing in Child Recording Case

Airline distances itself from previous claims blaming a 9-year-old victim for being filmed by a flight attendant.

American Airlines fired its legal team following backlash over court documents blaming a child for being recorded in a bathroom.
The airline has hired a new legal firm, Kelly Hart & Hallman, to handle the case moving forward.
Former flight attendant Estes Carter Thompson III has been charged with secretly recording multiple minors.
The family of the 9-year-old girl is suing American Airlines, seeking accountability for the incident.
Attorney Paul Llewellyn hopes the new legal team will lead to a more responsible approach from the airline.
