Richard Jewell Biography Richard Jewell was an American police officer and security guard. While working as a security guard for AT&T, he became known in connection with the Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Discovering a backpack filled with three pipe bombs on the park grounds, Jewell alerted police and helped to evacuate the area before the bomb exploded, saving many people from injury or death. Initially hailed by the media as a hero, Jewell was later considered a suspect, before ultimately being cleared. Jewells case is considered an example of the damage that can be done by media based on bias. Despite never being charged, he underwent a “trial by media” with a great toll on his personal and professional life. Jewell was eventually completely exonerated, and Eric Rudolph was later found to have been the bomber. In 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue publicly thanked Jewell on behalf of the State of Georgia for saving the lives of those at the Olympics. Jewell died on August 29, 2007, of heart failure from complications of diabetes at age 44. Richard Jewell Early Life Jewell was born Richard White in Danville, Georgia, the son of Bobi, an insurance claims co-ordinator, and Robert Earl White, who worked for Chevrolet.

Sometime after midnight, July 27, 1996, Eric Robert Rudolph, a terrorist who would later bomb a gay nightclub and two abortion clinics, planted a green backpack containing a fragmentation-laden pipe bomb underneath a bench. Jewell was working as a security guard for the event. He discovered the bag and alerted the Georgia Bureau of Investigation officers. This discovery was nine minutes before Rudolph called 9-1-1 to deliver a warning. Jewell and other security guards began clearing the immediate area so that a bomb squad could investigate the suspicious package. The bomb exploded 13 minutes later, killing Alice Hawthorne and injuring over one hundred others. A cameraman also died of a heart attack while running to cover the incident. Richard Jewell News Richard Jewell, 44, Hero of Atlanta Attack, Dies ATLANTA, Aug. 29 Richard A. Jewell, whose transformation from heroic security guard to Olympic bombing suspect and back again came to symbolize the excesses of law enforcement and the news media, died Wednesday at his home in Woodbury, Ga. He was 44. The cause of death was not released, pending the results of an autopsy that will be performed Thursday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. But the coroner in Meriwether County, about 60 miles southwest of here, said that Mr. Jewell died of natural causes and that he had battled serious medical problems since learning he had diabetes in February. The coroner, Johnny E. Worley, said that Mr. Jewells wife, Dana, came home from work Wednesday morning to check on him after not being able to reach him by telephone. She found him dead on the floor of their bedroom, he said. Mr. Worley said Mr. Jewell had suffered kidney failure and had had several toes amputated since the diabetes diagnosis. He just started going downhill ever since, ” Mr. Worley said. The heavy-set Mr. Jewell, with a country drawl and a deferential manner, became an instant celebrity after a bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta in the early hours of July 27, 1996, at the midpoint of the Summer Games. The explosion, which propelled hundreds of nails through the darkness, killed one woman, injured 111 people and changed the mood of the Olympiad. Only minutes earlier, Mr. Jewell, who was working a temporary job as a guard, had spotted the abandoned green knapsack that contained the bomb, called it to the attention of the police, and started moving visitors away from the area. He was praised for the quick thinking that presumably saved lives. But three days later, he found himself identified in an article in The Atlanta Journal as the focus of police attention, leading to several searches of his apartment and surveillance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and by reporters who set upon him, he would later say, “like piranha on a bleeding cow. ” The investigation by local, state and federal law enforcement officers lasted until late October 1996 and included a number of bungled tactics, including an F. B. I. agents effort to question Mr. Jewell on camera under the pretense of making a training film. In October 1996, when it became obvious that Mr. Jewell had not been involved in the bombing, the Justice Department formally cleared him. “The tragedy was that his sense of duty and diligence made him a suspect, ” said John R. Martin, one of Mr. Jewells lawyers. “He really prided himself on being a professional police officer, and the irony is that he became the poster child for the wrongly accused. ” In 2005, Eric R. Rudolph, a North Carolina man who became a suspect in the subsequent bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Ala., pleaded guilty to the Olympic park attack. He is serving a life sentence. Even after being cleared, Mr. Jewell said he never felt he could outrun his notoriety. He sued several major news media outlets and won settlements from NBC and CNN. His libel case against his primary nemesis, Cox Enterprises, the Atlanta newspapers parent company, wound through the courts for a decade without resolution, though much of it was dismissed along the way. After memories of the case subsided, Mr. Jewell took jobs with several small Georgia law enforcement agencies, most recently as a Meriwether County sheriffs deputy in 2005. Col. Chuck Smith, the chief deputy, called Mr. Jewell “very, very conscientious” and said he also served as a training officer and firearms instructor. Jewell is survived by his wife and by his mother, Barbara. Last year, Mr. Jewell received a commendation from Gov. Sonny Perdue, who publicly thanked him on behalf of the state for saving lives at the Olympics. Frequently Asked Questions About Richard Jewell Who is R. Jewell?

Download richard jewell movie. Richard Jewell is a biopic about a hero that saved lives only to become publicly suspected of being a Villain. He had an awkward social demeanor (and employment history) which unfortunately spawned an FBI investigation that was prematurely leaked to the press. The consequences of which caused him to be assumed guilty by the public.
A truly sad and unfortunate story, with excellent acting from all key players and surprisingly impressive visuals. Clint Eastwood as crafted yet another fine motion picture.
It's a shame that many in the media chose to effectively boycott this film, and slandered it as being anti-journalistic. If this film's critics actually watched it, they would realize that this movie's main Journalist Antagonist (Kathy Scruggs) was portrayed quite remorsefully and sympathetically later in the film after Richard Jewell's innocence became obvious. If go into this film expecting to see Kathy Scruggs as the textbook "Bad Guy" you'll come out of feeling otherwise.
In My Opinion; This film was not a damnation of the press, but simply a reminder for Journalistic Prudence.

ATLANTA – Richard Jewell, the former security guard who was erroneously linked to the 1996 Olympic bombing, died Wednesday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. Jewell, 44, was found dead in his west Georgia home, GBI spokesman John Bankhead said. "There's no suspicion whatsoever of any type of foul play. He had been at home sick since the end of February with kidney problems. said Meriwether County Coroner Johnny Worley. The GBI planned to do an autopsy Thursday, Bankhead said. Lin Wood, Jewell's longtime attorney, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that he was "devastated" by the news. He declined to comment further, saying he was in New York trying to get back to Atlanta. Jewell was initially hailed as a hero for spotting a suspicious backpack in a park and moving people out of harm's way just before a bomb exploded during a concert at the Atlanta Summer Olympics. The blast killed one and injured 111 others. Three days after the bombing, an unattributed report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described him as "the focus" of the investigation. Other media, to varying degrees, also linked Jewell to the investigation. He was never arrested or charged, although he was questioned and was a subject of search warrants. The media circus that followed the FBI investigation obscured the fact that Jewell saved the lives of many members of the technical staff working on live TV coverage of the Olympics. “Richard ran all the way up and down the four stories of the tower and evacuated everybody, it must have been between 40 and 50 people. Seconds later the thing exploded, ” said Bruce Rodgers, president of Tribe Inc and designer of the AT&T Global Village, where the explosion happened. The next day, when Rodgers went back up the tower, “My whole corner was completely obliterated. he said. "steel shrapnel, pipe material lodged into the decking of the structure and embedded inches into the ceiling. The chairs that we usually sat in were completely sheared and ripped apart. "Had he not gotten those people out, I know that at least 20 people on the first two floors of the tower would be dead. ” As recently as last year, Jewell was working as a sheriff's deputy. Eighty-eight days after the initial news report, U. S. Attorney Kent Alexander issued a statement saying Jewell "is not a target" of the bombing investigation and that the "unusual and intense publicity" surrounding him was "neither designed nor desired by the FBI, and in fact interfered with the investigation. In 1997, U. Attorney General Janet Reno expressed regret over the leak regarding Jewell. "I'm very sorry it happened. she told reporters. "I think we owe him an apology. The Atlanta newspaper never settled a lawsuit Jewell filed against it. The case was still pending as of last year. A lawyer for the newspaper did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Eventually, the bomber turned out to be anti-government extremist Eric Rudolph, who also planted three other bombs in the Atlanta area and in Birmingham, Ala. Those explosives killed a police officer, maimed a nurse and injured several other people. Rudolph was captured after spending five years hiding out in the mountains of western North Carolina. He pleaded guilty to all four bombings last year and is serving life in prison. Jewell told the AP last year that Rudolph's conviction helped, but he believed some people still remember him as a suspect rather than for the two days in which he was praised as a hero. "For that two days, my mother had a great deal of pride in me. that I had done something good and that she was my mother, and that was taken away from her. Jewell said around the time of the 10th anniversary of the bombing. "She'll never get that back, and there's no way I can give that back to her. A year ago, Gov. Sonny Perdue commended Jewell at a bombing anniversary event. "This is what I think is the right thing to do. Perdue declared as he handed a certificate to Jewell. Jewell said: I never expected this day to ever happen. I'm just glad that it did. The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Early in the morning of July 27, 1996, amid the hoopla of the Summer Olympics that made Atlanta, Georgia, the center of the world for a fortnight, security guard Richard Jewell was working his beat at downtown Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park when he noticed an olive-green backpack beneath a bench. After nobody claimed the pack, Jewell and an associate summoned a bomb squad, who confirmed their worst fears. Jewell immediately dashed into the neighboring five-story sound tower and pushed out the technical crew immersed in their jobs, before the 40-pound pipe bomb detonated in a deafening blow. One woman was killed by shrapnel, a cameraman suffered a fatal heart attack and 111 were injured, but Jewell was quickly credited with discovering the deadly device and saving countless more lives. The once anonymous security guard found his life turned upside down with the crush of attention that celebrated his heroism, though he insisted he simply doing his job. Days later, he found his life turned upside down again, the same devotion to his job having rendered him the FBI's chief suspect and a media punching bag. Early in his career, Jewell often found himself in trouble Richard Allensworth Jewell was born Richard White in Danville, Virginia, on December 17, 1962. His parents split when he was four years old, and his mother, Bobi, married insurance executive with the now-familiar surname, before the family moved to Atlanta. According to profiles in Vanity Fair and Atlanta, Jewell was an earnest, helpful type who worked as a crossing guard and operated the movie projector in the library, but seemingly had few friends in high school. Afterward, he briefly pursued a career as a mechanic, before landing a job as a supply room clerk at the Small Business Administration, where he met lawyer Watson Bryant, who would later serve a crucial role in defending him. Yearning to enter law enforcement, Jewell was hired as a jailer in the Habersham County sheriff's department, in northeastern Georgia, in 1990. He also took up a side job as a security guard of the apartment complex he called home, and it was here that his zealousness for the job first landed him in trouble: After busting a couple making too much noise in a hot tub, Jewell was charged with impersonating an officer, placed on probation and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation. Jewell regained his standing in the department and even earned a promotion to deputy sheriff, but after crashing his patrol car in 1995 while allegedly pursuing a suspicious vehicle, he resigned instead of accepting the demotion back to jailer. In a new job as a campus security officer at nearby Piedmont College, Jewell made enemies within the student body for breaking up parties and reporting offending students to their parents, and angered his superiors for going beyond his jurisdiction to arrest speeding motorists on the highway. He resigned in May 1996, and with his mother scheduled to undergo foot surgery, he returned to Atlanta to live with her and find a new job. Richard Jewell looks through stairs at his apartment complex while the FBI and local police agents search his apartment on July 31, 1996. The FBI attempted to trick him into making a videotaped confession As Jewell was adjusting to life as America's hero du jour in late July, the president of Piedmont College informed the FBI of his previous unpleasant experiences with the security guard who was too eager to make campus arrests. The FBI went digging for more info, soon uncovering his record in Habersham County which included the court-ordered psychological evaluation. On July 30, after an early interview with Katie Couric on Today, Jewell received a visit from two FBI agents who said they were making a training video. He agreed to go along with them to headquarters and consented to a videotaped interview, but grew suspicious after the agents attempted to have him sign a waiver of rights. Meanwhile, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had spilled the beans with an afternoon edition that proclaimed FBI SUSPECTS 'HERO' GUARD MAY HAVE PLANTED BOMB on the front page. Jewell returned to a media horde camped outside his mother's apartment building, only to turn on the TV and see Tom Brokaw announce to the world that he was the lead suspect in the case and likely to be arrested soon. The following day, Jewell helplessly waited outside his building as FBI agents rooted through his apartment for evidence that did not exist. Pictures of the portly, beleaguered security guard sitting on his steps only fueled the ugly media caricature that was beginning to take shape, one that portrayed him as an unmarried, 33-year-old who lived with his mother and desperately grasping for a shred of glory. Richard Jewell's attorney Lin Wood holds a copy of "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution" during a press conference on October 28, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia. Photo: DOUG COLLIER/AFP via Getty Images Jewell's lawyers mounted an aggressive public defense Fortunately, Jewell had his old friend Bryant in his corner. Although his professional specialties were more business-related, Bryant possessed enough of a firebrand's spirit to passionately defend Jewell on television, and enough contacts in the industry to reel in a prominent criminal attorney and two more to handle civil litigations. As Jewell and his mother lived their lives under virtual house arrest, passing notes to one another out of fear that their conversations were being recorded, the legal team went on the offensive, releasing the results of a polygraph test that showed the suspect's innocence. In late August, during the Democratic National Convention, Jewell's lawyers had Bobi deliver an impassioned plea to the Justice Department to clear her son of wrongdoing. As the investigation stretched into its second month, with nothing to bolster the government's case, public sentiment began turning in Jewell's favor. In late September, 60 Minutes aired a highly sympathetic piece that cut through the caricatures, showing Jewell under tremendous strain from the unwanted media attention and the FBI vans trailing him whenever he left his apartment. Still, it would be another month before the FBI offered a lifeline and declared that Jewell was no longer a suspect. In a press conference held on October 28, he cited the 88 days he had spent in the public eye as the No. 1 suspect, noting: I hope and pray that no one else is ever subjected to the pain and the ordeal that I have gone through. I thank God it is ended and that you now know what I have known all along: I am an innocent man. He reached settlements with several media outlets Jewell subsequently launched defamation lawsuits against an array of media outlets for their portrayals of him, with the settlements helping to compensate for legal fees and a year spent without a job. He eventually returned to the law-enforcement work he loved in towns throughout Georgia, and enjoyed good fortune in the romance department by meeting the social worker Dana, who would become his wife. Some closure came when Eric Robert Rudolph was sentenced to life in prison for the Olympic (and other) bombings in 2005. One year later, Jewell earned an official commendation from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue for his heroic actions at Centennial Park that helped stave off an utter catastrophe. He soon was suffering from significant health issues, however, and died in August 2007 of complications from diabetes. Although his public image continues to trend upward, with the 2019  Clint Eastwood movie highlighting his life and a plaque in his honor at Centennial Park, Jewell never shook the feeling that his mistreatment at the hands of the FBI and the media had robbed him of something precious. "For that two days, my mother had a great deal of pride in me – that I had done something good and that she was my mother, and that was taken away from her. he said in an AP interview the year before his death. "She'll never get that back, and there's no way I can give that back to her...

Getty Photos from the real story of Richard Jewell. The above photos show Jewell and one of his real life attorneys, Lin Wood. The new Richard Jewell movie gets the broad outline of what happened to Jewell right – the FBIs relentless pursuit of the hero security guard and the leak to a newspaper reporter that started a media frenzy – but some elements of the movie are fictionalized. The lead FBI agent in the movie, Tom Shaw, for example, is not a real person, although hes likely a composite character who does things the real FBI agents did (agents really did lure Jewell to give an interview using a training video ruse, for example. Much has been made about the movie making it appear that the lead journalist character, Kathy Scruggs, offered to trade sex for the tip about the Jewell investigation. While Scruggs did break that story based on an FBI tip, theres no evidence she ever traded sex for stories. Those who knew her hotly deny it. However, the broader strokes of what happened to Jewell are accurate. He was the target of an FBI investigation and subsequent media frenzy before being completely exonerated in the Atlanta Olympics bombing attack. Small details in the movie are also accurate. Jewells moms Tupperware really was confiscated by the FBI, for example, and he really did land a job at a local police department after being cleared. Heres what you need to know: Richard Jewells Heroism Was Real & a Witness Said Immediately That He Didnt Think Jewell Had Time to Perpetrate the Bombing & Make the Phone Call Attributed to the Bomber Getty The crime scene at the Atlanta Olympics. Richard Jewell really was the hero of the Olympic bombing. The movies account of the actual explosion, and Jewells role in discovering the suspicious knapsack containing the bomb closely follows real-life events. And its true, as the movie shows, that the timing pretty much exonerated Jewell from the start. Within two days of the bombing, the media was labeling Jewell a hero. An article in the Great Falls Tribune on July 29, 1996 reported that the “most important hero of the Atlanta Olympics is a man of modest height and stocky build. ” Jewell was described as the “security guard who noticed the knapsack, sitting alone by a tower. He asked the first questions about it, raised the first hue and cry to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation officer. ” The article said there were more than 150 people close to the bomb before they were moved, so its believed that Jewell, in real life, did save many lives. “Im just one person who did their job the way they were trained to do with the support of everyone else, ” said Jewell, according to the newspaper. “I dont really feel like Im a hero. Ive just thought, ‘Im glad I was there. ” Getty Richard Jewell (C) his mother Barbara (L) and attorneys Watson Bryant (R) and Wayne Grant (far R) look on during a press conference 28 October in Atlanta, Ga. Jewell was cleared as a suspect in the July 27 bombing of Centennial Olympic Park. According to an Associated Press story from July 29, 1996, the bomb killed a woman and injured more than 100 people. She was Alice Hawthorne, 44, of Albany, Georgia. Her daughter was also injured. A Turkish cameraman also died from a heart attack while rushing to the scene. It was described as a “crude pipe bomb. ” By July 30, 1996, news organizations were reporting that Jewell had emerged, in the words of an Associated Press story, “as the prime target” of the FBI investigation. The article said that Jewell was “mobbed by reporters as he returned home from FBI questioning. ” He declared, “Im innocent. I didnt do it. ” He lived in an apartment with his mother and their two dogs. The article called Jewell “a beefy 33-year-old with a checkered law enforcement career” who had appeared on the Today Show “to recount his heroic deeds. ” It reported that his name “was splashed across Page 1 of an extra edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: ‘FBI suspects ‘hero guard may have planted bomb. ” The AP article said that Jewell worked for a security company that was hired by AT&T to provide guards for its Centennial Olympic Park pavilion. The AP story says that Jewell was credited with “spotting an unattended olive-drab knapsack near the AT&T pavilion. Bomb experts quickly determined that the knapsack contained a crude pipe bomb, and while police were clearing the area, the bomb exploded. ” Getty This dawn 27 July photo shows the five-story sound tower (L) in the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park where a bomb exploded early 27 July during a rock concert. Indeed, a man did call 911 “from a pay phone three blocks from the park and said a bomb would go off in 30 minutes. ” That was 25 minutes before the bombing. It later turned out that the real bomber Eric Rudolph placed that call. Ron Leidelmeyer, an NBC technician, told AP at that time – three days after the bombing – that he saw Jewell before the bombing and believed it would have been “difficult, if not impossible” for Jewell to have time to both plant the bomb and make that call. He said that Jewell was looking at the knapsack at 12:53 a. m. and the 911 call was at 12:58 a. m., which gave Jewell five minutes to make it to the phone booth, which Leidelmeyer said was “just not possible. ” Leidelmeyer had log books to back up these times, but that didnt stop the FBI, and subsequently the media, from fixating on Richard Jewell as a possible suspect. In 1998, the New York Times reported that Jewells lawyer Watson Bryant filed a lawsuit on behalf of Jewells mother against the FBI. It says that the FBI searched Bobis underwear and her Tupperware containers. They even took a Mary Poppins video. He obtained settlements from CNN and NBC after suing them. An Associated Press story from July 13, 1997 describes the effect on Jewell. “His career aspirations and social life are over and his good nature has been replaced with paranoia and distrust, ” it reads. He wasnt cleared by the Justice Department until October 1996. That article says the NBC settlement was over comments Tom Brokaw made on air. It was said to be for 500, 000. Jewell bought a home with the money. He settled with CNN for an undisclosed amount. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution didnt settle and eventually prevailed before an appellate court, which ruled that what the paper reported was substantially true at the time because it was true the FBI was focusing on Jewell. In 1997, its true as the movie shows, that Jewell landed a job as a police officer with Luthersville, a small town hear Atlanta. The police chief told the AP that Jewell was “well qualified. He has experience. He has training. And, most of all, he wants to be a police officer. ” A 2003 article in the New York Daily News reported that Jewell later worked for other departments in Georgia towns and got married. Sadly, Jewell died at age 44 of heart disease worsened by Diabetes. Watson Bryant Sam Rockwell and G. Watson Bryant Jr. attend the “Richard Jewell” screening at Rialto Center of the Arts on December 10, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. Jewells lawyer Watson Bryant is a real person. Watson Bryant told the AP in a July 30, 1996 article about the FBI search of Jewells moms apartment: “Quite frankly, we welcome this. ” He predicted nothing would be found. Asked if Jewell should be named as a suspect, Bryant said, “No but he should be along with everyone else that was in the area when the bomb exploded. ” The 1997 Vanity Fair article on which the movie is partly based described how Bryant, in real life, did have to navigate through a phalanx of reporters to get into Jewells apartment. “He wore a baseball cap, khaki shorts, and a frayed Brooks Brothers polo shirt. He was 45 years old, with strong features and thinning hair, a southern preppy from a country-club family, ” it reads. He is still working as a lawyer in the Greater Atlanta area. At the time, Vanity Fair reported, Watson Bryant “made a modest living by doing real-estate closings in the suburbs, but Jewell and his lawyer had formed an unusual friendship a decade earlier, when Jewell worked as a mailroom clerk at a federal disaster-relief agency where Bryant practiced law. ” The article added: “The simple fact was that Bryant had no qualifications for the job. He had no legal staff except for his assistant, Nadya Light, no contacts in the press, and no history in Washington. He was the opposite of media-savvy. ” Bryant really did go on to marry Nadya. G. Watson Bryant Jr., Barbara “Bobi” Jewell and Nadya Bryant attend the “Richard Jewell” premiere during AFI FEST 2019 Presented By Audi at TCL Chinese Theatre on November 20, 2019 in Hollywood, California. Even some of the tiny details in the movie are based on real life. For example, Jewells mothers apartment really did prominently display a “portrait of Jewell in his Habersham County deputys uniform, ” the Vanity Fair article reported. An Associated Press story in the Scranton Times-Tribune, dated August 6, 1996, describes how Bryant explained to the news media that bombing fragments found in Jewells apartment were souvenirs. The lawyers full name is G. Watson Bryant. On August 7, 1996, the AP was reporting that Bryant had declared, “Enough is enough. Its time to stop being nice. ” He explained that the FBI agents wanted Jewell to read the bombers statement from the call “12 different times. ” In real life, though, Bryant didnt work alone for long. That article says that Jack Martin, “a more experienced criminal defense attorney, ” had joined the team. The Los Angeles Times reports that “Bryant and the Jewells remained close; for a time, Bobi even babysat for the lawyers two children. ” Bryant told the Times: “These bums [in the FBI] never had enough to arrest him — they had nothing but a bunch of BS taken out of context that they used to frame him up for a story that was too good to be true. Yet to this day people think he had something ugly to do with the bombing — when hes the guy that, but for him, it would have been raining body parts when that bomb went off. I cant imagine how many people are alive today and how many kids have been born just because Richard did his job. ” The FBI Agents & Their Investigation Getty Jon Hamm plays Tom Shaw, the FBI agent investigating Richard Jewell in the new Clint Eastwood movie. In the movie, Tom Shaw and Dan Bennett are the names given to the FBI agents relentlessly pursuing the former hero security guard turned suspect in the Atlanta bombing at the Olympics. Tom Shaw and Dan Bennett are not real. Those arent the names of the real FBI case agents who pursued Jewell, Diader Rosario and Don Johnson. And theres no evidence that either of the real-life case agents was reporter Kathy Scruggs source because she died having never revealed it. However, its true she got a tip from an FBI agent that Jewell was under investigation. What is true, though, is that authorities in the FBI did aggressively pursue Jewell. Tom Shaw and Dan Bennett appear to be loosely based on Don Johnson and Diader Rosario but are also composite characters, and some of it is completely fictionalized. The Vanity Fair article on the case documents the FBIs aggressive pursuit of Jewell. AJC says that the FBI kept Jewell under surveillance for months. The article says that Jewell was questioned by FBI agents but was never charged and the Justice Department ultimately apologized to him. In 1997, the FBI revealed that four FBI special agents in its Atlanta office were told they might face “possible disciplinary charges” for their roles in the Jewell case, according to The Washington Post. The four were accused of “poor judgment” but not criminal wrongdoing. The four were identified as “Woody Johnson, who runs the Atlanta office; his deputy, A. B. Llewellyn; and special agents Diader Rosario and Don Johnson. ” They were accused of trying to get Jewell to “star in a training video” that was really a ruse to see if he would incriminate himself. Paul Walter Hauser attends the “Richard Jewell” screening at Rialto Center of the Arts on December 10, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Vanity Fair article describes how FBI agents Don Johnson and Diader Rosario knocked on Jewells mothers apartment door and told him, “We need your help making a training film. ” The next day, Rosario showed up with a search warrant. Rosario, the article says, was “known for his skills as a negotiator” and “once helped calm a riot of Cuban prisoners in Atlanta. ” But Johnson “had a reputation for overreaching” because of a 1987 Albany New York investigation of that communitys then mayor. The mayor was exonerated eventually but argued that the scrutiny cost him a federal judicial appointment, according to Vanity Fair. “Ive been doing criminal defense work for 20 years, ” said Jewells lawyer, Jack Martin of the training video Jewell ruse to The New York Times, “and that was the most outrageous interviewing technique Ive ever seen. Its indefensible. It was obviously an invalid waiver. ” The bombing occurred July 27, 1996, and three days later, “On July 30, FBI agents Don Johnson and Diader Rosario asked Jewell to follow them to FBI headquarters to participate in a training film, ” the newspaper reported, citing Jewells lawyer. In real life, Louis Freeh, the former FBI Director, ordered the agents to read Jewell his rights, which ended the training video conversation. There is an actor who plays Rosario in the movie, but thats not the Tom Shaw or Dan Bennett character, according to the IMDB cast list for the Eastwood film. According to Real Clear History, Rosario in real life was also the agent who obtained a search warrant to get Jewells hair for testing. Journalist Kathy Scruggs Getty/FindaGrave Kathy Scruggs cause of death is a sad one. The movie makes journalist Kathy Scruggs into a pretty one-note villain. In real life, she was a lot more complex than that. Its true that she was a reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper when the bombing occurred, and its true she broke the story that the FBI was looking at Jewell. “She was proud the FBI called her about Jewell. She was proud of the way she reported it to begin with, ” her brother Lewis Scruggs told AJC. But he said she never told him who the source was, either. Kathy Scruggs life is portrayed – falsely, her supporters say – in the movie. Today, she is not here to tell her side of the story, played on screen by Olivia Wilde. Scruggs newspaper has defended its reporting as accurately reflecting the state of the FBIs investigation at the time; the FBI was investigating Jewell in the bombing, although he was completely exonerated. Relative Nancy Scruggs Dyleski wrote on Facebook: “It is shocking that not one person from this film reached out to anyone in Kathys family even after we reached out to them on a couple of different occasions. I guess that they knew that their false narrative would have been shot down by people that actually knew her best. Shame on Olivia Wilde and Clint Eastwood, way to lie about someone that isnt alive to defend herself. Kathy may be gone, but she is still a vibrant part of our family and we love her very much. ” Newspaper hits out at 'Richard Jewell' movie over portrayal of reporter The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says the Clint Eastwood-directed film salaciously and falsely portrays former reporter Kathy Scruggs trading sex for FBI tips. 2019-12-10T11:32:08. 000Z In a book on the case called The Suspect, Scruggs is described as “a delightful throwback to the 1930s newspaper wars. Kathy never quietly entered a room, she exploded into it. ” A woman who knew her wrote on Kathys relatives Facebook page, “I remember Kathy from Athens Academy days! She was a good bit older than me, but I admired her beauty, spunk, and charisma! Dont let these Hollywood pretenders get you down! ” Doug Monroe, who knew and worked with Scruggs, described her in a 2003 article in Atlanta Magazine as having a “raucous sense of humor. ” He wrote: “Cops still talk in amazement about her bravado. She once beat the police to a murder scene and brazenly crawled in through a back window. ” “Where have you been? ” she demanded to police, Monroe wrote, adding, “She was blonde and wore mini skirts and gaudy stockings. She smoked. She drank. She cursed. She flaunted her sexuality. She dated Lewis Grizzard. She dated an editor who allegedly beat her with a telephone. She dated cops, including one who was accused of stealing money from the pockets of the dead. ” Scruggs died five years after the controversy. Friends said she never recovered from it. Kathy Scruggs was born on September 26, 1958 and died September 2, 2001, age 42, in Cherokee County, Georgia. She is buried in Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens, Georgia. obtained the coroners report. Scruggs died of a drug overdose, specifically, “acute morphine toxicity. ” Contrary to some other news reports, the coroner could not determine whether it was an accidental one or suicide. “Kathleen Scruggs died as a result of acute morphine toxicity, ” the report says. “…toxicological testing of chest fluid revealed a potentially lethal level of morphine. Also present in the chest fluid were paroxetine, mirtazapine, and ethyl alcohol. All of the ethyl alcohol may have been produced by the postmortem decomposition process. Findings at autopsy included severe coronary artery atherosclerosis (blockage of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart) which may have contributed to death…no acute traumatic injuries were identified. ” Kathy Scruggs autopsy report. The report concludes: “It is unclear whether the drug overdose leading to the acute morphine toxicity was suicidal or accidental, and thus the manner of death is listed as undetermined. ” An autopsy was performed in September 3, 2001. The items present with the body were a television remote control, a sheet, a blanket and a comforter. Scruggs was wearing a “gray short-sleeved tee shirt with the green inscription ‘ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEDWAY” and a pair of panties. You can learn more about her cause of death here. Scruggs obituary in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution explained that she had “suffered a variety of health problems for the past year. ” “I would characterize her as a very good reporter who was very fair, ” Atlanta Police Chief Beverly Harvard told the newspaper. “She called the shots as they were, be it good or bad. She didnt show favoritism. She was accurate. ” The newspapers publisher Roger Kintzel said in that story, “…nothing was ever found that indicated that what Kathy wrote was not the truth. She died knowing that what she wrote was accurate, and I think that was really important to her. She felt confident that that would be proven in court. ” Scruggs brother told AJC she was on medications for a variety of things, including Crohns disease. “Her heart gave away. It was just hard living, ” her brother said to the publication. Lewis Scruggs added, “Her choice of boyfriends was not great, ” he said. “She spent all the money she had and more and would go into the depths of depression. ” The headline on the original story was, “FBI suspects ‘hero guard may have planted bomb. ” The 1997 Vanity Fair article by Marie Brenner described in detail how the story happened. It reported that Scruggs had “good contacts in the Atlanta police, and she was tough” but one former staff member called her a “police groupie” to Vanity Fair, and an editor, while praising her talents, told Brenner: “Kathy has a hard edge that some people find offensive. ” The story also describes the subsequent media frenzy, which extended far beyond AJC, and the FBIs initial pursuit of Jewell. It says that there was debate in the newsroom over the story and CNN had already decided to hold it. Meanwhile, Kathy Scruggs, a police reporter, “who had allegedly gotten a tip from a close friend in the F. I., got a confirmation from someone in the Atlanta police, ” Vanity Fair reported. One controversial line reported by AJC: “Richard Jewell. fits the profile of the lone bomber. ” The story had a double byline, Scruggs and Ron Martz. Scruggs has her defenders who are criticizing the Eastwood movie for falsely making it appear that Scruggs offered to have a sexual relationship with the FBI agent who tipped her off. In a bar, the FBI agent tells Scruggs, “Kathy, you couldnt f*ck it out of them. What makes you think you could f*ck it out of me? ” Theres no evidence that ever occurred, and Scruggs supporters say it didnt. wrote that “There is no evidence that Scruggs slept with anyone to get the story. Furthermore, Scruggs cant defend herself. She died in 2001 at the age of 42 from an overdose of prescription pain pills for a chronic back problem. ” Riley said in a statement to IndieWire that “there is no evidence that this ever happened. ” Bobi Jewell, Richards Mom Getty Barbara “Bobi” Jewell and Paul Walter Hauser attend the “Richard Jewell” screening at Rialto Center of the Arts on December 10, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. Richard Jewells mom, Barbara “Bobi” Jewell is a prominent character in the movie, played by Kathy Bates. The portrayal tracks closely with real life, even down to the Tupperware that Bobi got back from the FBI with marks on it. Today, Bobi is still alive. She is 83 years old and still living in Georgia. In fact, she spoke to Paul Walter Hauser, the actor who plays Richard, before the movie was completed. A woman who knows her wrote recently on Facebook of Bobi Jewell: “Bobi Jewell is the nice lady at my church who works with the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. I am looking forward to seeing this movie although I am still saddened by the tragedy. ” The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Paul Walter Hauser, who plays Richard Jewell, about what it was like to meet Bobi Jewell. “The first time I met Bobi Jewell was on the Warner Bros. lot, ” he told THR. Getty Richard Jewell with his mother, Bobi Jewell. “I was more nervous about meeting Bobi than I was Clint, because Clint and I have a certain commonality based on what we do for a living. With Bobi, our commonality was telling the story of this tragedy. I was worried, but she gave me a lot of tidbits and little nuggets of Richard that were indicative of greater truths. ” Hauser says Bobi told him, “You look just like Richard. Youre doing things like him that you dont even know youre doing. ” She even brought treats to the set, THR added. The 1997 article in Vanity Fair on the Richard Jewell case gives extensive details on the effect on Bobi at the time. Once, the Vanity Fair article reports, her cat jumped on a window ledge and photographers camped outside “began frenetically shooting pictures. ” “If my mom and I had something we wanted to talk about that we didnt want anyone to hear, we wrote it on pieces of paper. When she left to go to work the next day, she would take it with her, tear it up, and put it in the trash! That is how I kept my mother informed about what was going on with the case, ” Jewell told Vanity Fair. To Vanity Fair, Richard Jewell described how people would “holler obscenities at her (Bobi. They would yell, ‘Did he do it? Did he blow those people up? They would yell, ‘You should both die. All she was trying to do was walk her dog. ” Jewells father was Bobis first husband, a Chevrolet worker named Robert Earl White, according to Vanity Fair. The marriage resulted in divorce. Her second husband John Jewell adopted Richard. That marriage eventually broke up too, and Jewell felt abandoned. The Real Bomber Getty Eric Robert Rudolph, seen here in an undated photo, is the one-time carpenter who vanished in early 1998 and vaulted to the FBIs Most Wanted list after a bombing at a Birmingham, Alabama abortion clinic. Richard Jewell didnt do it. Eric Rudolph did, as the movie shows. An anti-government extremist, Rudolph was convicted of perpetrating the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics. Where is Eric Rudolph now? Today, he is serving a life prison term at Florence ADMAX USP. Thats a federal prison in Colorado. He is today 53 years old. Rudolph was responsible for a series of bombings. According to the FBI, “He pled guilty and is currently serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole. ” What were Rudolphs motives for the bombings? Former FBI executive Chris Swecker explained on an FBI website devoted to Rudolphs capture: “He had borrowed ideas from a lot of different places and formed his own personal ideology. He clearly was anti-government and anti-abortion, anti-gay, ‘anti a lot of things. The bombings really sprang from his own unique biases and prejudices. He had his own way of looking at the world and didnt get along with a lot of people. ” Getty Federal Bureau of Investigations Ten Most Wanted Fugitive Webpage shows fugitive Eric Robert Rudolph. When he pleaded guilty, a “defiant Rudolph said he had no remorse or regrets, ” the FBI wrote. Rudolph ultimately confessed. You can read his full confession here. “Abortion is murder. And when the regime in Washington legalized, sanctioned and legitimized this practice, they forfeited their legitimacy and moral authority to govern, ” it says in part. According to the FBI, between 1996 to 1998, “bombs exploded four times in Atlanta and Birmingham, killing two and injuring hundreds and setting off what turned out to be a five-year manhunt for the suspected bomber Eric Robert Rudolph. ” The law caught up with Rudolph in 2003. On May 31, 2003, former FBI Top Ten Fugitive Eric Robert Rudolph “was arrested by police officer J. S. Postell while rummaging through a trash bin behind a rural grocery story in Murphy, North Carolina, ” the FBI explains. “A skilled outdoorsman, Rudolph had managed to elude law enforcement officials for five years while hiding out in the mountains after bombing four sites in Georgia and Alabama. Rudolph began his violent attacks on July 27, 1996, when he planted a backpack containing a bomb in crowded Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia. ” According to the FBI, a woman who traveled with her daughter to watch the 1996 Summer Olympics “was killed and more than 100 others were injured in the blast. Shortly after, Rudolph bombed two more locations in Georgia and one in Birmingham, Alabama, resulting several more injuries and the death of a police officer. Rudolph ultimately told authorities where hed stashed an additional 250 pounds of dynamite. ” READ NEXT: Richard Jewells Cause of Death: How Did He Die.

Once again the FBI lies and puts honest Americans in danger. They will never admit they were wrong thats the sad part about the government. Download Movie Richard jewellery uk. I knew that Richard Jewell was going to be a well directed film with Clint Eastwood at the helm. I knew the acting would be phenomenal with the likes of Kathy Bates and Sam Rockwell (one of my favorite actors) playing crucial supporting roles. I was pretty sure that the screenplay would be solid with Billy Ray writing it, who, for the most part, has written some very good films (Shattered Glass, State Of Play, Captain Phillips, etc. But what I wasn't quite prepared for was the performance by Paul Walter Hauser. If there is any justice in the land of Hollywood, Hauser will get an Academy Award Nomination for Best Actor. I have rarely seen a performance more powerful, more heartbreaking, and more beautiful than the performance by Hauser in this film. And he may even deserve to win the Oscar (but, most likely won't in a year where, it would seem, Joaquin Phoenix is destined to win for his brilliant performance in Joker. Now, obviously the story of Richard Jewell is more complicated than what the audience sees in this movie. But that is always the case when a true story is adapted to the world of film. Dramatic license always has to be accounted for. But what this film did do very effectively, is portray just how destructive the phenomenon of tunnel vision combined with an over-zealous media, can be. The bottom line is this: When it comes to the FBI and the American media outlets wrongly accusing someone of crimes they never they can, and often do, destroy people's lives in a heartbeat. Even though Jewell was no longer considered a suspect in the case of the bombing in Centennial Park, the years that followed were years that were very hard on him and his family. Even when one is proven to be innocent in a case like this, there are always going to be people who still wonder to themselves, " There is a stain that stubbornly tarnishes the wrongly accused even though there shouldn't be. Which meant for Jewell, the years that ended up being the last years of his life, were spent trying to deal with and cope with an injustice of the highest order. After the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Jewell was never quite the same. And when Eric Rudolph, the real bomber, finally accepted a plea deal in 2005, which fully exonerated Jewell (as Rudolph admitted that it was he, and he alone who was responsible for the bombing) Jewell would only live for another 28 months. This is why I commend Clint Eastwood for telling this story. And what a powerful story it is. Indeed, Richard Jewell is one of the best films of the year.

Eric Rudolph nearly got away with this despicable crime.

Given that the newspaper defeated a lawsuit from the real Richard Jewell, it should know better. Olivia Wilde as Kathy Scruggs in Richard Jewell. Warner Bros. Pictures This Friday, Clint Eastwoods biopic Richard Jewell will be released in theaters. Its already the subject of controversy, as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has hired the prominent lawyer Martin Singer to warn Eastwood, screenwriter Billy Ray, and Warner Bros. that the paper believes the film defames it as well as one of its reporters, played in the film by Olivia Wilde. For First Amendment attorneys, the news of the AJC threatening a lawsuit about Richard Jewell brings back memories of the AJC fighting a lawsuit by Richard Jewell. The lawsuit by Richard Jewell was eventually thrown out; a lawsuit about Richard Jewell should never see the light of day. While lovers of the press may rightly condemn a portrayal of a reporter as trading sex for a story, they should not cheer on one media organization threatening the speech of another. Richard Jewell saved countless lives on July 27, 1996. He was a hero, but there were no parades, no medals, no proclamations that we often associate with citizens who do heroic deeds. Instead, under the searing glare of the worlds media outlets, already assembled in Atlanta for the Summer Olympics, Jewell turned from hero to villain almost overnight, and a media circus ensued. Federal and local law enforcement authorities clearly were under pressure to find a suspect. Jewell provided that cover. The only problem was he didnt do it. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the hometown newspaper of record during the 1996 bombing and remains a journalistic force in the South. In the aftermath of the bombing, the newspaper, whose motto was “Covers Dixie like the Dew, ” tenaciously clung to the Jewell story, unmasking any information it could about the suspected security guard. At one point in the coverage, the newspaper ran a front-page story headlined “FBI Suspects ‘Hero Guard May Have Planted Bomb. ” The newspapers stories also proclaimed that “investigators now say Jewell fits the profile of the lone bomber and they believe he placed the 911 call. ” Within weeks, law enforcement cleared Jewell of suspicion. When the dust settled, Jewell sued multiple news organizations for defamation, many of which quickly settled out of court with the embattled security guard—with one notable exception: the AJC. In fact, the paper continued to fight the case through three levels of the Georgia courts to the United States Supreme Court (which declined to review the case) and back, including long after Jewells untimely death in 2007 at the age of 44. Ultimately, the issue in the case revolved around whether Jewell, an otherwise unknown, temporarily hired security guard, was transformed into a public figure, either involuntarily or for the purposes of the particular events at hand. The trial court found that he was, and the appellate courts in Georgia agreed. While that may sound like a trivial matter, it makes a world of difference in defamation cases. Private citizens typically only need prove that a news organization was negligent (essentially journalistically careless and sloppy) in its reporting, but public figures need to show that the paper knowingly or recklessly published the false and defamatory story. Thats a purposely high standard because the law safeguarding press freedom provides some “breathing space” for journalists writing about public figures. In most cases, public figures dont prevail in defamation cases. Richard Jewell did not prevail in his case against the AJC. It is now the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that is complaining about being unfairly treated in Eastwoods biopic about Richard Jewell. The newspaper is concerned that its reputation is sullied by the films depiction of a rush-to-judgment mentality and its portrayal of the real AJC reporter Kathy Scruggs offering sex to an FBI agent who was a source. (Scruggs died in 2001. The newspaper says there is no evidence of such activity, as do the authors of a book upon which the movie is based. Just as the AJC wanted to school Jewell on how the law protects journalists reporting on public figures, Hollywood now needs to school the newspaper on the artistic flexibility filmmakers enjoy when basing fictionalized movies on real events. While biopics often portray real events in peoples lives, not everything in the script is based in fact. If the AJC is unhappy with the newspapers portrayal in the film, it has ways to challenge it—its own editorial pages for one—thus applying the age-old First Amendment concept called counterspeech. Its editors could speak out in other forums as well. Instead, in troubling fashion, it opted for the bizarre approach of hiring a noted plaintiffs attorney from Los Angeles to put pressure on Eastwood. Thats not what we expect from long-established newspapers. Theyre almost always on the side of defending the First Amendment rights of content creators—of any sort. Heres the quick lesson in all of this. Its perfectly reasonable to support the AJCs anger with Richard Jewell for the liberties the film takes in the service of drama and its agenda. But those who value the press should think twice before cheering the paper on in any potential lawsuit. When journalists try to quash speech, even risible speech, no one wins.

They had good cause, he fit the profile Eric Rudolph, the real bomber, was a white, hard core Christian pot smoking ex-army soldier who evaded attention and arrest for a number of years. That doesn't sound like a frustrated white man who wanted to be in law enforcement and be a hero. I did not see the movie but I think it might portray the reality of profiling in general. It is a crock of crap and it is a joke it is even considered a profession at all. Profiling is a tool of law enforcement. A tool to get around probable cause. That is all. It is not a science. It is not even a social science. Even one of the earlier practioners of this pseudo science, in my opinion, a publicity seeking deranged blowhard - interviewing a few serial killers and viewing some crime scene photographs and in typical, in my opinion, FBI dirtbag fashion makes a career out of it and writes 10,000 books on the subject - a precursor to, in my opinion, blowhards like Dr. ill and Dr. poo, called it an art. A man's life was destroyed over an art. Well, I got news for you. There are people who see serial killers day in and day out: they are called prison guards. They probably know more about them than an idiot FBI profiler. I got more news for you. Police Detectives look at crime scene photographs day in and and day out. They probably know more about it than an idiot FBI profiler. There are two things that are relevent in regards to the idiocy of both FBI and CIA profiling, i.e., deep state nonsense, and profiling in general. One, when the person who is ultimately caught, you always hear them respond, well, they didn't fit the profile. Two, when the person is labeled as fitting the profile, we find out they are not guilty. Case in point. A sniper was terrorizing Washington, D.C and the profilers said it probably is an angry middle aged white guy. It turned out to be an ex-army black guy and a seventeen year old black kid. A local white female news reporter was raped and murdered in or near West Memphis (I think) Arkansas. On CNN an FBI profiler said it was probably an obsessed person who was stalking her. It turned out it was a black serial rapist who had committed a rape days prior a hundred miles away. More than likely, he didn't know who the person was. Kudos to Clint Eastwood for shedding light on the idiocy of profiling. Profiling is nothing more than an opinion based on guess work. It is not a science. It is a joke. Regardless of, in my opinion, the propaganda and deep state brainwashing such as silence of the lambs, criminal minds and mindhunter nonsense. It is entertainment and myth making and nothing more. Case in point, They had good cause, he fit the profile. Richard Jewell who fit the profile did not plant the bomb or have any connection with those who did. Eric Rudolph did who didn't fit the profile. Eric Rudolph was identified and apprehended by the brave and courageous law enforcement officials using what's called police work and evidence and not by the silly and idiotic profession of profiling, especially the demagogues in the deep state, i.e., FBI and CIA profilers. I rest my case. Thank you. No apology is necessary. Greater Fools.

The Lying Fake News Media has always been the enemy of the people. Another Clint Directed movie. great stuff. keep ‘em coming big guy. T he search warrant was short and succinct, dated August 3, 9:41 A. M. F. B. I. special agent Diader Rosario was instructed to produce "hair samples (twenty-five pulled and twenty-five combed hairs from the head) of Richard Allensworth Jewell. That Saturday, Atlanta was humid; the temperature would rise to 85 degrees. There were 34 Olympic events scheduled, including women's team handball, but Richard Jewell was in his mother's apartment playing Defender on a computer set up in the spare bedroom. Jewell hadn't slept at all the night before, or the night before that. He could hear the noise from the throng of reporters massed on the hill outside the small apartment in the suburbs. All morning long, he had been focused on the screen, trying to score off "the little guy who goes back and forth shooting the aliens. but at 12:30 the sound of the telephone disturbed his concentration. Very few people had his new number, by necessity unlisted. Since the F. had singled him out as the Olympic Park bombing suspect three days earlier, Jewell had received approximately 1, 000 calls a day—someone had posted his mother's home number on the Internet. "I'll be right over. his lawyer Watson Bryant told him. "They want your hair, they want your palm prints, and they want something called a voice exemplar—the goddamn bastards. The curtains were drawn in the pastel apartment filled with his mother's crafts and samplers; A HOME WITHOUT A DOG IS JUST A HOUSE, one read. By this time Bryant had a system. He would call Jewell from his car phone so that the door could be unlatched and Bryant could avoid the questions from the phalanx of reporters on the hill. Turning into the parking lot in a white Explorer, Bryant could see sound trucks parked up and down Buford Highway. The middle-class neighborhood of apartment complexes and shopping centers was near the DeKalb Peachtree Airport, where local millionaires kept their private planes. The moment Bryant got out of his car, the reporters began to shout: Hey, Watson, do they have the murderer. Are they arresting Jewell. Bryant moved quickly toward the staircase to the Jewells' apartment. He wore a baseball cap, khaki shorts, and a frayed Brooks Brothers polo shirt. He was 45 years old, with strong features and thinning hair, a southern preppy from a country-club family. Bryant had a stern demeanor lightened by a contrarian's sense of the absurd. He was often distracted—from time to time he would miss his exits on the highway—and he had the regional tendency of defining himself by explaining what he was not. "I am not a Democrat, because they want your money. I am not a Republican, because they take your rights away. he told me soon after I met him. Bryant can talk your ear off about the Bill of Rights, ending with a flourish: I think everyone ought to have the right to be stupid. I am a Libertarian. " At the time Richard Jewell was named as a suspect by the F. I., Watson Bryant made a modest living by doing real-estate closings in the suburbs, but Jewell and his lawyer had formed an unusual friendship a decade earlier, when Jewell worked as a mailroom clerk at a federal disaster-relief agency where Bryant practiced law. Jewell was then a stocky kid without a father, who had trained as an auto mechanic but dreamed of being a policeman; Bryant had always had a soft spot for oddballs and strays, a personality quirk which annoyed his then wife no end. T he serendipity of this friendship, an alliance particularly southern in its eccentricity, would bring Watson Bryant to the immense task  of attempting to save Richard Jewell from the murky quagmire of a national terrorism case. The simple fact was that Bryant had no qualifications for the job. He had no legal staff except for his assistant, Nadya Light, no contacts in the press, and no history in Washington. He was the opposite of media-savvy; he rarely read the papers and never watched the nightly news, preferring the Discovery Channel's shows on dog psychology. Now that Richard Jewell was his client, he had entered a zone of worldwide media hysteria fraught with potential peril. Jewell suspected that his pickup truck had been flown in a C-130 transport plane to the F. unit at Quantico in Virginia, and Bryant worried that his friend would be arrested any minute. Worse, Bryant knew that he had nothing going for him, no levers anywhere. His only asset was his personality; he had the bravado and profane hyperbole of a southern rich boy, but he was in way over his head. For hours that Saturday, Bryant and Jewell sat and waited for the F. From time to time Jewell would put binoculars under the drawn curtain in his mother's bedroom to peer at the reporters on the hill. Bryant was nervous that Jewell's mother, Bobi, would return from baby-sitting and see her son having hairs pulled out of his head. Bryant stalked around the apartment complaining about the F. "The sons of bitches did not show up until three P. M. he later recalled, and when they did, there were five of them. The F. medic was tall and muscular and wore rubber gloves. He asked Jewell to sit at a small round table in the living room, where his mother puts her holiday-theme displays. Bryant stood by the sofa next to a portrait of Jewell in his Habersham County deputy's uniform. He watched the F. procedure carefully. The medic, who had huge hands, used tiny drugstore tweezers. "He eyeballed his scalp and took his hair in sections. First he ran a comb through it, and then he took these hairs and plucked them out one by one. " Jewell "went stone-cold. but Bryant could not contain his temper. "I am his lawyer. I know you can have this, I know you have a search warrant, but I tell you this: If you were doing this to me, you would have to fight me. You would have to beat the shit out of me. Bryant recalled telling the case agent Ed Bazar. Bazar, Bryant later said, was apologetic. "He seemed almost embarrassed to be there. As he counted out the hairs, he placed them in an envelope. The irony of the situation was not lost on Bryant. He was a lawyer, an officer of the court, but he had a disdain for authority, and he was representing a former deputy who read the Georgia law code for fun in his spare time. It took 10 minutes to pluck Jewell's thick auburn hair. Then the F. agents led him into the kitchen and took his palm prints on the table. "That took 30 minutes, and they got ink all over the table. Bryant said. Then Bazar told Bryant they wanted Jewell to sit on the sofa and say into the telephone, There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have 30 minutes. That was the message given by the 911 caller on the night of the bombing. He was to repeat the message 12 times. Bryant saw the possibility of phony evidence and of his client's going to jail. "I said, I am not sure about this. Maybe you can do this, maybe you can't, but you are not doing this today. All afternoon, Jewell was strangely quiet. He had a sophisticated knowledge of police work and believed, he later said, they must have had some evidence if they wanted my hair. I knew their game was intimidation. That is why they brought five agents instead of two. He felt "violated and humiliated. he told me, but he was passive, even docile, through Bryant's outburst. He thought of the bombing victims— Alice Hawthorne, the 44-year-old mother from Albany, Georgia, at the park with her stepdaughter; Melih Uzunyol, the Turkish cameraman who died of a heart attack; the more than 100 people taken to area hospitals, some of whom were his friends. "I kept thinking, These guys think I did this. These guys were accusing me of murder. This was the biggest case in the nation and the world. If they could pin it on me, they were going to put me in the electric chair. " I met Richard Jewell three months later, on October 28, a few hours before a press conference called by his lawyers to allow Jewell to speak publicly for the first time since the F. had cleared him. Jewell's lawyers also intended to announce that they would file damage suits against NBC and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It was a Monday, and that weekend the local U. S. attorney had delivered a letter to one of the lawyers stating Jewell was no longer a suspect. "Goddamn it. Bryant had told me on the phone, the sons of bitches did not even have the decency to address it to Richard Jewell. " I had been instructed to come early to the offices of Wood & Grant, the flashy plaintiff lawyers Bryant had pulled in to help him with Jewell's civil suits.  When I arrived, I was alone in the office with Sharon Anderson, the redheaded assistant answering the phones. "Wood & Grant. Wood & Grant. Wood & Grant"—the calls overwhelmed her. Lin Wood and Wayne Grant were rushing from CNN to the local NBC and ABC affiliates, working the shows. "Everyone has theories of who the real bomber is. Sharon said. "I just write it all down and give it to the boys. " When Lin Wood arrived, he was still in full makeup. Movie-star handsome with green eyes and styled hair, Wood has the heated oratory of a trial lawyer. "It's a war! Why in this bevy of stories does not anyone point out the fact that Richard was a hero one day and a demon the next? They have destroyed this man's life! Watson Bryant had worked with Wood and Grant years before in a local law firm. He admired Wayne Grant for his methodical sense of detail; Grant, a New Yorker, had once forced the city of Atlanta to pay large damages to a man injured while illegally digging for antique bottles in a park. But Lin Wood's suppressed rage was a marvel to Bryant. "He is so tough he could make people cry in depositions when we were kids. Bryant told me. Wood possessed the smooth style of a member of the Atlanta establishment, but he had a hardscrabble past. He was a boy from "the wrong side of the tracks" in Macon who at age 17 discovered his mother's body after his father had murdered her. His father went to jail, and Wood wound up as a lawyer. He went through college and law school on scholarships and with part-time jobs. I could hear Wood on Sharon's telephone: He's more than innocent. He's a goddamn hero. Everyone is going to pay who wronged Richard Jewell. Besides NBC and The A. J. C., we are going to look into suing CNN and Jay Leno. " Through the large picture window, I had a clear view of the remains of the Centennial Olympic Park, where the bomb had exploded on the night of July 26. Where the sound-and-light tower had once been, there was now a flattened dirt field. It was possible to see the Greek commemorative sculpture that Richard Jewell used to describe for tourists at the AT&T pavilion, where he worked as a security guard. S uddenly, Jewell was in the room. "Hi. I'm Richard. I'm a little late. I don't want you to think I am rude. I am not like that. He had an open face, a bland pleasantness, an eagerness to please. "Can I get you a Coke. he asked me. "How about some coffee. Jewell wore a blue-and-white striped shirt and chinos. He occupied physical space like a teenager; he sprawled, he lumbered, he pawed through Sharon's candy bowl. On TV his face had a porcine blankness; he appeared suspicious. In person, Jewell has a hard time disguising his emotions. We were alone in the conference room; I noticed that Jewell avoided looking out the window toward the park. He shifted his glance nervously away from the view. He often awakens in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, thinking of the events in the park in the early morning hours of July 27. "It took me days before I could even come in here. he said anxiously. The newsroom atmosphere resembled that at F. headquarters; there was a frenzy to be first. When Jewell noticed a local ABC reporter outside near Sharon's desk, his face darkened. "I don't want to be around reporters right now. I guess I am a little nervous. What is he doing here. The atmosphere was now filled with tension; the reporter was escorted out. Moments later, we gathered in the hallway. Wood was steely: We are going in two cars. Richard, you drive with me. Your mother will go with Wayne. As we walk down the hall right now, if the ABC people are outside, I will tap you on the shoulder and I will say, How are you doing. You will say, Fine. Is that understood. O. K., Lin. I understand. Jewell said quietly, head bowed. As Jewell walked down the hall, an ABC cameraman photographed him looking grim. Seconds after the elevator doors closed, Jewell exploded: What are they doing here, Lin? Did you invite them? They are animals. Why didn't you get them out of here? "ABC has been good to you. How do I get them out of the office on the day of your press conference? "That is what security is for. Jewell said, quivering with rage. "Where is Watson. he asked in the garage. "I told you: he's at a real-estate closing. He will meet you at the press conference. Wood said. Jewell moved to his mother's side, as solicitous as a child. "Are you all right, Mother. he asked. "It is all I am going to be able to do not to do something. she said angrily. W hen we arrived at the Marriott hotel on 1-75, there was another discussion in the parking lot, about who would walk with whom in front of the cameras. Jewell turned to his close friend Dave Dutchess: Are you all right, man. Dutchess, a truckdriver who worked with Jewell years ago, has long hair and a tattoo of a panther on his forearm. "Richard and I are like brothers. he told me. "I would die for him. As the cameras closed in on them, the group fled to a private room in the Marriott. The auditorium was filled with reporters. "Showtime! Showtime. the cameramen yelled when Jewell, his mother, and all the lawyers took the stage. "I hope and pray that no one else is ever subjected to the pain and the ordeal that I have gone through. Jewell said, his voice breaking. "The authorities should keep in mind the rights of the citizens. I thank God it is ended and that you now know what I have known all along: I am an innocent man. " After the press conference, Bobi and Richard Jewell remained in a private room. The bookers from Good Morning America and the Today show pressed Jewell to step before their cameras, and when Watson Bryant told them no, Monica, the G. A. booker, began to cry, I'll lose my job. Then Yael, the Today -show booker, cornered Nadya Light: Is Richard doing something with G. A. Upstairs, Jewell and his mother were being filmed by a CBS camera crew for a 60 Minutes news update. "Well, Bobi, did you get your Tupperware back. Mike Wallace asked by phone from New York. "Richard, you need to lose some more weight. Despite Wallace's festive spirit, the atmosphere was curiously flat. Bryant urged Jewell to talk to a USA Today reporter. Jewell balked: They can all go suck wind. " In the car on the way back to Wood & Grant, Bobi was angry. All of her possessions had come back from the F. marked up with ink. "Every piece of Tupperware I own is ruined, thank you very much. They wrote numbers all over it, and I have tried everything to clean it—Comet and Brillo—but nothing works. " Back at the office, she sat on the sofa and listened as Bryant negotiated with Yael for a flight to New York— Delta, first-class, 9:30 P. Jewell was scheduled to appear on three shows in New York, visit the American Museum of Natural History, and then fly to Washington, D. C., for Larry King Live. "I would like to go home, put on my outfit, and walk in the woods. Bobi said. "Richard, we are leaving. " Yes, ma'am. Richard said. O ne hour later, a telephone call came in to the offices of Wood & Grant. The lawyers had the call on speaker, and it blared through the room. "Goddamn it, Lin. When will this be over. In the background, you could hear Bobi sobbing. "What in the world. Wood asked. Jewell explained that a sound truck from ABC had been waiting in the parking lot when the Jewells got home. There had been words and threats, and Dave Dutchess had taken his stun gun off his motorcycle and waved it at the ABC van. The cameraman yelled: Stop harassing us! Dave yelled back: You are harassing us! Now get your ass out of here! Wood shouted into the speakerphone: Do not meddle! You cannot jeopardize where you have gotten to and what you want to do! All you have to do is put up with this for one more day and the damn thing is over. Bobi, there is nothing you can do about it; you have to stay cool. Bobi cried back, They are going to destroy me! The moment they hung up, Wood turned to Bryant. "New York is canceled. No Katie Couric. No Good Morning America. They are losing it. You better call Yael. No. Bryant said, they have lost it. All of the above: their patience, their temper and heart. " That evening a very testy Katie Couric tracked Bryant down at Nadya Light's apartment, where we had gone to watch the news. "I want you to know that I canceled interviewing Barbra Streisand in L. for Richard Jewell. Don't think he is always going to be a news story. No one will care about him in three days. she said, according to Bryant. "Look, Katie, I am sorry. But Richard is in no condition to talk to the press. He is worn out. Bryant told her. Later, Jewell would tell me that that day, which should have been one of his most satisfying, was actually his worst. His notoriety had tainted the triumph; everything positive had become negative. "I was in despair. he said. As he had for most of the previous 88 days, he spent the night confined in the Buford Highway apartment, a prisoner of his circumstances, with his mother, Dave Dutchess, and Dave's fiancee, Beatty, eating Domino's Pizza and watching himself lead the newscasts on NBC, CBS, and ABC. "This case has everything—the F. I., the press, the violation of the Bill of Rights from the First to the Sixth Amendment. " T his case has everything— the F. I., the press, the violation of the Bill of Rights, from the First to the Sixth Amendment. Watson Bryant told me in one of our first conversations. It has become common to characterize the F. 's investigation of Richard Jewell as the epitome of false accusation. The phrase "the Jewell syndrome. a rush to judgment, has entered the language of newsrooms and First Amendment forums. On the night of Jewell's press conference, a commentator on CNN's Crossfire compared Jewell's situation to "Kafka in Prague. The case became an investigative catastrophe, which laid bare long-simmering resentments of many F. career professionals regarding the micromanagement style and imperious attitude of Louis Freeh and his inner circle of former New York prosecutors, who have worked together since their days at the U. Attorney's Office in the Southern District. Within the bureau, the beleaguered director now has a new nickname: J. Edgar Hoover with children. Like Freeh, those near him have also acquired a nickname: Louie's yes-men. Two of Freeh's closest associates, F. general counsel Howard Shapiro and former deputy director Larry Potts, have been severely criticized, respectively, for advising the White House of confidential F. material and for an alleged cover-up of the mishandling of the 1992 standoff at Ruby Ridge, where F. agents killed the wife and son of Randy Weaver, a white supremacist. In November and December, the Office of Professional Responsibility conducted an exhaustive investigation into the Jewell affair. Responding to an attempt by headquarters and certain officials to distance themselves, according to F. sources, several agents, including a senior F. supervisor in Atlanta, have provided the O. P. R. with signed statements insisting that Freeh himself was responsible for "oversight" during the crisis. These agents "shocked the investigators" because they reiterated, when asked who was in charge of the overall command of the investigation, that it was the director himself. What happened to Richard Jewell raises an important question central to Freeh's future tenure: in the midst of a media frenzy, does the F. have any responsibility to protect the privacy of an innocent man? Over the last year, this concept was broached with Bob Bucknam, Louis Freeh's chief of staff. During the long Pizza Connection trial in the 1980s, it was Bucknam who handed Freeh files at the prosecutor's table. According to highly placed sources in the bureau, Bucknam's answer was immediate: the F. has no responsibility to correct information in the public domain. Richard Jewell had a reverence for authority that blinded him to the paradox of his situation. He idealized the investigative skills of the F. and could not understand that he had become ensnared in a web fraught with the weaknesses of a self-protective bureaucracy. Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter has invited Jewell to Washington to testify at congressional hearings on the F. 's conduct in the Atlanta bombing. Ironically, the bungling of the investigation might lead to the reshuffling of personalities at the top of the bureau and threaten Freeh's reputation. In October, according to The Washington Post, Freeh sent an unusual memo to all 25, 000 F. personnel: He would not be abandoning his post amid reports of problems with the Jewell case and Filegate, and of a growing dissatisfaction inside the bureau. "I am proud to be the F. director. Freeh wrote. F rom the beginning, Jewell was perceived in the public imagination as a hapless dummy, a plodding misfit, a Forrest Gump. On one of the first days he worked as a security guard at the AT&T pavilion, he noticed that his co-workers were covering the steps inside the sound tower with graffiti. On one step Jewell scrawled with a flourish two bromides: IF YOU DIDN'T GO PAST ME, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE and LIFE IS TOUGH. TOUGHER WHEN YOU ARE STUPID. Soon after he was targeted as a suspect in the Olympics bombing, the F. confiscated the step. Analysts appeared to believe that the graffiti contained a clue to his character. "They told the lawyers the statement was an obvious taunt. Jewell said. In fact, the second line was an expression he had cribbed from one of his favorite actors, John Wayne. Within the F. I., the beleaguered director has a new nickname: J. Edgar Hoover with children. "To understand Richard Jewell, you have to be aware that he is a cop. He talks like a cop and thinks like a cop. his criminal lawyer, Jack Martin, told me. The tone of Jewell's voice drops noticeably when he says the word "officer. and his conversation is filled with observations about traffic patterns, security devices, and car wrecks. Even the vocabulary he uses to describe the 88 days he was a suspect is out of the lexicon of police work, and he continues to talk about his situation then in the present tense: This is an out-and-out ambush, and I am a hostage. " Jewell has a need to accommodate. He can be startlingly opaque. On the afternoon of July 30, Jewell answered the door of his mother's apartment to Don Johnson and Diader Rosario from the F. "We need your help making a training film. they told him. "I never questioned it. he told me. The next day Rosario appeared again with a search warrant. "The weird thing was that when they were searching my apartment I was, like, Take everything. Take the carpet. I am law enforcement. I am just like you. Guys, take whatever you are going to take, because it is going to prove that I didn't do anything. And a couple of them were looking at me like I was crazy. " Leaving the apartment on one occasion, he told the agents, I am wearing a bright shirt so y'all can see me easier. He recalled feeling anger when he read descriptions of himself as a child-man, a mama's boy, and "a wannabe policeman. but he said, If I was in the place of everybody else and I saw a 34-year-old guy living with his mother, I would have reservations about that, too. I would think, Why is he doing that? T he December issue of   Atlanta magazine reported that there was no  record of a Jewell family in Danville, Virginia,  where Richard Jewell  was born. Atlanta referred to an article in the Danville Register & Bee which asked, Did Richard Jewell ever sleep here. This is a part of my life Richard and I do not like to speak about. Bobi Jewell told me one night at dinner. Richard was born in Danville, but his name was Richard White; his father was Bobi's first husband, Robert Earl White, who worked for Chevrolet. According to Bobi, Richard's father, who died recently, was "irresponsible and a ladies' man. When Richard was four, the marriage broke up. Bobi found work as an insurance-agency claims coordinator and soon met John Jewell, an executive in the same business. Shortly after John Jewell married Bobi, he adopted Richard. From the time Richard was a child, he and his mother were a unit. Bobi, a woman of intelligence and disciplined work habits, is both tender and tough on the subject of her son. She still calls Richard "my boy. but she has a peppery disposition. Richard was brought up in a strict Baptist home. "If I didn't say 'Yes, ma'am' or 'No, ma'am' and get it out quick enough, I would be on the ground. he said. When he was six, the family moved to Atlanta. Richard was the boy who helped the teachers and worked as a school crossing guard, but he had few friends in high school. "I was a wannabe athlete, but I wasn't good enough. he said. He ran the movie projector in the library. A military-history buff, he liked to talk about Napoleon and the Vietnam War and read books on both World Wars. Jewell's ambition was to work on cars, so he enrolled in a technical school in southern Georgia. On his third day there, Bobi discovered that her husband had packed a suitcase. "He left a note saying that he was a failure and no good for us. Jewell said. Almost immediately, Richard moved back home and took a job repairing cars. "My mom and I tried to take care of each other. he said. "I think I handled it pretty much better than she did. Richard took the brunt of his father's abandonment; Bobi pulled even closer to her son. "She hated all men for about three years after that, and she became overly protective of me. She looked at it that I was going to do the same thing that my dad did. I was 18 or 19. I was working. She never liked my dates, but I never held that against her. We have always been able to lean on each other. " Richard managed a local TCBY yogurt shop and once stopped a burglary in progress. At the age of 22, he was hired as a clerk at the Small Business Administration, and he impressed Watson Bryant and the other lawyers in the office with his personable nature. They called him Radar because of his efficiency. "You could say, I'm hungry. and suddenly this kid would be by your side with a Snickers bar. Bryant recalled. When Jewell's contract with the S. ran out, he moved on to be a Marriott house detective. In 1990 he was hired as a jailer in the Habersham County Sheriff's Office, and in 1991 he became a deputy. As part of his training, he was sent to the Northeast Georgia Police Academy, where he finished in the upper 25 percent of his class. He finally had an identity; he was a law-enforcement officer. J ewell was unlucky in love. He presented one woman with an engagement ring, and later, in Habersham County, he would give another a large wooden key with a sign that read, THIS IS THE KEY TO UNLOCK YOUR HEART, but both relationships came apart. In northern Georgia, Jewell worked nights and became wedded to his job. By his own description, he was methodical. "I am the kind of person who plans everything. I like to go from A to B to C to D. This going from A to D and arguing over everything—I say no. Habersham County, a scenic part of the piney woods in Georgia's Bible Belt, was for Jewell like "leaving the 1990s and going into the 1970s in terms of law enforcement. Many rich Atlantans have country houses in the mountains, but the small towns of Demorest and Charlottesville are relatively undeveloped, reminding one of Jewell's lawyers of the scenery in the movie Deliverance. "If you get lost up there, you might find a guy with a bow and arrow. the lawyer said. Recently, Jewell and I took the 90-minute drive from Atlanta to Habersham County, which has acres of apple orchards. The leaves were turning, and the roads were mostly deserted. In the towns, however, were stores, apple stands, and even a good Chinese restaurant. As Jewell's blue pickup truck turned into the parking lot of a shopping center, several people came out to greet him. Jewell had lived in a small yellow house up a steep rocky driveway. On the day we visited, the current resident's Halloween decorations were still up, as were faded white satin ribbons hanging from many trees, remnants of a campaign to clear Richard Jewell organized by area friends. Jewell had lived 50 yards from the Chattahoochee River near a kayak-and-canoe tourist concession on a main road—not in a "cabin in the woods. as several reports stated after the bombing. He worked the night shift, and when he would arrive home at dawn, he told me, he could look up and "see a sky filled with stars. " He was not a loner; he made friends with several local families. He would often leave a box of Dunkin' Donuts on friends' porches at four A. During the O. Simpson trial, he and the other deputies would meet in the turnaround on Highway 985 in the middle of the night and review the day's events and the bungling by the Los Angeles Police Department. Jewell would later be annoyed that the F. confiscated his copy of former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's account of the trial. Jewell dated a local girl, Sheree Chastain, and had a close relationship with her family. Jewell had a complex history working at the Habersham County Sheriff's Office. When he was still a jailer, he arrested a couple making too much noise in a hot tub at an apartment building where he did part-time security work. He was arrested for impersonating an officer and, after pleading guilty to a lesser charge, was placed on probation on the condition that he seek psychological counseling. By his own estimation, Jewell's strength as a cop was "working car wrecks. He had his mother's diligence; he worked 14 hours a day and organized a safety fair. Later in 1995 he wrecked his patrol car and was demoted to working in the jail. Rick Moore, a local deputy, advised him to accept the job, but Jewell despised the jailhouse atmosphere. He told me, It was a small room filled with cigarette smoke. I couldn't take it. He resigned, and in a short time he moved to a police job at Piedmont College, a liberal-arts school with approximately 1, 000 students on the main road in Demorest. The college police had jurisdiction only on campus and in an area extending out 500 feet. Jewell chased cars speeding down the highway and had arguments over turf with other officers. He was instrumental in several arrests, including that of a suspected burglar he discovered hiding at the top of a tree. For his work on a volunteer rescue squad, he was named a citizen of the year. According to Brad Mattear, a former resident director, Piedmont was a school of "P. K. 's"—preachers' kids. It was 80 percent Baptist with a strict no-drinking rule. The college had many rebellious students, according to Mattear, kids who were "away from home for the first time and wanted to party and drink. Mattear knew Jewell well and recalled his good manners and playful nature. "It was always 'Yes, sir' and 'Yes, ma'am. Jewell would tell students, I know y'all are going to drink. Don't do it on campus. " Jewell felt confined by his boundaries and could be heavy-handed when it came to writing out reports on minor infractions. Once when we were driving by the campus, he pointed to a small brick dormitory. "That was where all the partying would go on. he told me. Jewell would raid dorm rooms and report drinking violations. "I did not hesitate to tell the parents—in no uncertain terms—what their kids were up to. he said. He soon made enemies at the school. "Three or four times a week. Mattear said, Piedmont students were in the office of Ray Cleere, the president of the college, complaining about Jewell and other Piedmont police. After Jewell was admonished for a number of controversial arrests, he resigned. J ewell had an out: his mother was going  to have an operation on her foot. He would go home to Atlanta for the Olympics and look for a new job. He called his mother: Is it all right with you if I stay with you while you have your surgery. He hoped he might get a job with the Atlanta police or, failing that, work security at the Olympics. "I thought, Working at the Centennial Olympic Park will look really good on my resume. " At the age of 33, back in his mother's apartment, he was at first treated like a wayward teenager. Bobi was sharp with him about his slovenly habits, his weight, and his driving. Bobi had carved out a life for herself; she arrived at work by eight A. each morning and had many friends. Trim, with short-cropped hair, Bobi Jewell is the kind of woman who labels her clothes and spices and spends much of her spare time baking cakes and babysitting for extra money. She carries on telephone friendships with claim adjusters at other companies. It was somewhat unsettling for her, she told me, to have Richard at home after she had grown used to living with only her dog, Brandi, and her cat, Boots. Bobi was annoyed that he had wrecked a patrol car, and worried about his safety. "Every time he leaves the apartment, I'll say, Richard. And he'll say, Yes, ma'am. I know. The person that I am going to see will be there when I get there. she said. On one occasion Bobi talked about Richard's return to Atlanta. "What is wrong with trying to revamp your life. she asked me. Her eyes filled with tears. "Why does everyone in the media think it is so strange? O n Friday, July 26, Bobi Jewell was home waiting for her niece to arrive from Virginia for the Olympic softball competition the following week. In preparation, she had stocked her apartment with food. It was a clear Georgia evening, not as hot as had been expected. As usual, Richard left for the park at 4:45 P. and arrived at the AT&T pavilion about 5:30. His stomach was bothering him; he was convinced that he had eaten a bad hamburger the day before. Lin Wood and Wayne Grant had arranged to take their children to Centennial Park that night. The park, in downtown Atlanta, stretches over 21 acres. There were air-conditioned tents, concerts on the stage, and hot-dog and souvenir stands. Downtown Atlanta was usually deserted in the oppressively hot, humid summer, but this year thousands of tourists filled the sidewalks, or sat on benches in the shade of some crape-myrtle trees, or cooled off by a fountain. Tour buses clogged the main arteries, and everyone complained that it took hours to get anywhere; stories were traded about athletes' getting to their competitions late because of the poor planning of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games. As always, Jewell was working the 12-hour night shift near the sound-and-light tower by the stage. He was pleased because one of his favorite groups—Jack Mack and the Heart Attack—was going to perform at 12:45. Jewell had a routine: he would check in and fill the ice chest he kept by a bench at his station. Jewell liked to offer water and Cokes to pregnant women or policemen who stopped to rest. After he arrived at the park, his stomach cramps grew worse and he had a bout of diarrhea. At approximately 10 P. he took a break to go to the bathroom. The closest one was by the stage, but the security staff was not allowed to use it. "I really have to go. Jewell says he told the stage manager. "And he said, Well, O. this time. When Jewell came out, he noticed that it was "real calm" and there wasn't much wind blowing. At that time of night, the crowd from Bud World became a little more raucous. Jewell was annoyed when he saw a group of drunks near his bench and beer cans littering the area beside the fence nearby. As he went to report the trash and the group that was carousing, he spotted a large olive-green military-style backpack, known as an Alice pack, under the bench. There had been a similar bag found the week before. Jewell later told an F. agent that he was annoyed that one of the drunks had tried to get into the lens of a camera crew. Jewell had told them to cut it out. "They were running off at the mouth. Jewell would later tell Larry Landers of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (G. "I was light about the package at first. he told me, kidding around with Tom Davis from the G. Well, are you going to open it. At that point, it was not a concern. I was thinking to myself, Well, I am sure one of these people left it on the ground. When Davis came back and said, Nobody said it was theirs. that is when the little hairs on the back of my head began to stand up. I thought, Uh-oh. This is not good. "I never really had time to be frightened. My law-enforcement background paid off here. What went through my head was like a computer screen of this list I had to do. I had to call my supervisor. I have to tell people in the tower that something was going on. I have to be firm with them, stay calm, and be professional. " Almost immediately, Jewell and Tom Davis cleared a 25-foot-square area around the backpack; Jewell made two trips into the tower to warn the technicians. "I want y'all out now. This is serious. " T wo blocks away on Marietta Street,  approximately 300 editors, copywriters, and reporters from Cox newspapers around the country had taken over the extra desks in the new eighth-floor newsroom at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution to prepare the special Olympics edition they put out each afternoon. The paper had gone "Olympics-crazy. according to one reporter. The editor, Ron Martin, and the managing editor, John Walter—"WalMart. as they were called—had let it be known that no expense would be spared. Ann Hardie, who normally covers science, had been sent around the world to master the fine points of beach volleyball; Bill Rankin, officially on the federal-court beat, was assigned table tennis. The paper intended to set new standards in its hometown during the games, but in addition there was a hint of redemption in the air. Since Cox newspaper executives had forced the resignation of the distinguished editor Bill Kovach in 1988, the paper had suffered a severe loss of reputation. "We all felt just kind of beaten down. one reporter said. Kovach had been brought to Atlanta from The New York Times to elevate The A. C. into being the definitive paper of the New South, but eventually he irritated the local powers. Atlanta was inbred, a city of deals, and he resigned in a blaze of press outrage. Kovach now ran the Nieman journalism-fellowship program at Harvard, and the movie rights to his turbulent years in Atlanta—reported in these pages by Peter J. Boyer—had been sold to Warner Bros. Within the profession, The A. had become something of a joke. More and more, its emphasis was on what John Walter called "chunklets"—short bits in a soft-news style known as eye-candy. The paper published features on couples massage and how mushrooms grow in the rain. Walter had fired off several terse memos to ensure that there would be no more jumps of news stories to back pages and no more unsourced news stories, except on rare occasions. "I don't see any reason why you can't report hard news in a short form. one editor told me. The A. style of reporting in declarative sentences had a name, too: the voice of God. It was omniscient, because it allowed no references to unattributed sources. Subjects such as AIDS, which often required confidentiality, could not be covered properly in the paper, in the opinion of several reporters. The A. picked up news stories with unnamed sources from The New York Times, however, and reporters groused about the hypocrisy of the double standard. On Saturday morning, July 27, Bob Johnson, the night metro editor, left the newsroom at one A. The sidewalks were still crowded; Johnson sat on a wall outside waiting for an A. shuttle bus to pick him up. About 1:25 he heard a strange noise. "It sounded like an aerial bomb at a fireworks show. he said. He recalled thinking, Damn, that is sort of foolish. Then he heard screams and saw people running. Johnson rushed back upstairs to the almost deserted sixth-floor newsroom. Lyda Longa, a night police reporter, was still there. Johnson sent her down to the park and turned on the news, but nothing had moved across the wires. Just after two A. M., Longa called from the park. She told Johnson that one person had been killed and dozens were down—it was absolute chaos. Johnson could hear the sirens and the screams through the telephone; he began to type into his computer. "We were trying to get a bullet into the street edition. Johnson recalled. In the crisis, it took only minutes for reporters to return to the newsroom; several had been at the park when the bomb went off. Rochelle Bozman, an Olympics editor, appeared and took over for Johnson. Soon John Walter was there, as was Bert Roughton, who would assist him in supervising the A. coverage of the bombing. A t the park, Jewell spoke with the first F. agents to arrive on the scene. The smell and the noise, he remembered, were overwhelming, and sensations blurred together. "It was hard to describe the sound. he said. "It was like what you hear in the movies. It was, like, KABOOM. I had seen an explosion in police training. We had ear protection when it went off. It smelled like a flash-bang grenade. The sky was not filled with black smoke, but grayish-white. All the shrapnel that was inside the package kept flying around, and some of the people got hit from the bench and some with metal. " Bobi Jewell had just gone to sleep when the telephone rang. It was Richard. "Mom, they had a bomb go off down here, but I am O. regardless of what the TV says. He could hardly speak; he seemed paralyzed. Jewell did not mention to his mother that he had found the backpack and alerted Tom Davis. Bobi was perplexed. "I thought, What does he mean? All night long she stayed on the foldout sofa watching the news reports. She was frightened by the ambulances, the noise, the bodies in the park. S oon veteran homicide detectives in the  Atlanta police arrived at the bomb site. One sergeant was trying to make his way through the crowd when an Olympics official stopped him. "Tell these cops to get the hell out of here. he said, according to a captain in the homicide division. "Well, you get the fuck out of here. Who are you. the sergeant demanded. Agents from the Atlanta F. office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were in a shouting match over jurisdiction. "We are handling this. one said. "No, this is ours. an F. agent snapped. In the command center at F. headquarters in northeastern Atlanta, there was complete pandemonium. The Olympics were a national convention for law enforcement. Some 30, 000 security personnel were on hand. Over the next few days, there would be an internal debate: Who was going to be in charge of the bombing investigation? In Atlanta at that time were three veteran investigators with executive experience: Tom Fuentes, who is credited with helping to bring John Gotti to heel; Barry Mawn, who has worked extensively in organized-crime probes; and Robin Montgomery, the head of the critical-incident unit at Quantico, who at Ruby Ridge in 1992 questioned the disastrous "rules of engagement" which led to tragedy. In the early-morning hours, F. agents picked up several suspects, including one referred to as "the drunk in the bar. According to F. sources, Louis Freeh himself got on the telephone to Barry Mawn. Freeh, a former F. agent, was personally monitoring the initial investigation by means of a series of conference calls from the command post at F. headquarters. He focused on "the drunk in the bar. who had been making threats the night before, and within hours the information was leaked that the F. had a suspect. From Atlanta, Barry Mawn contacted his superiors in Washington. "This suspect is not the bomber. he reportedly said, according to a former highlevel F. executive. Freeh allegedly lost his temper and belittled Mawn's professional abilities. He is said to have told Mawn that he "had handled this all wrong. The words one hears characterizing Freeh's telephone calls to the agents on duty in Atlanta are "abusive. condescending. and "dismissive. A story went around the command center that Freeh was already saying, We have our man. according to a source in the bureau. Watson Bryant was thinking, I cannot believe that I know anyone who throws pipe bombs into gopher holes. Freeh made a decision: however experienced Montgomery, Fuentes, and Mawn were, this investigation would be run by Division 5 of the F. I., the National Security Division, a former counterintelligence unit that has been looking for a purpose since the Cold War ended. Trained in observation, division members rarely made a criminal case—their strength was intimidation and manipulation rather than the deliberate gathering of evidence to be presented in court. promptly declared the bombing a terrorism case and placed it under the authority of Bob Bryant, head of the division. David Tubbs of Division 5 was sent to Atlanta to be the spokesman and to augment Woody Johnson, the Atlanta special agent in charge (S. who had been trained in hostage rescue and who was awkward in press briefings. Tubbs was not as experienced in criminal cases as Mawn or Montgomery, who returned to Newark and Quantico, respectively, to get out of the line of fire. according to numerous F. sources. But Bryant and Freeh were reportedly micromanaging the S. 's and, later, the case agents Don Johnson and Diader Rosario. O n the morning of the bombing, Watson Bryant's alarm went off at six A. He was going to the Olympic kayak competition on the Ocoee River with Andy Currie, a friend from his Vanderbilt University days. He learned of the bombing on the radio as he was getting ready to go to Currie's house. "Whoever has done this should be skinned alive. he told Currie. He spent the day in the country, and on Sunday he went out to run errands. When he got home, there was a message on his answering machine: Watson, this is Richard Jewell. You may have heard that I found the bomb and people are calling me a hero. Somebody told me I might get a book contract. It had been years since Bryant had spoken to Jewell, but he did not immediately return the call; he was busy finishing up some contracts so that he could take a few days off to enjoy the Olympics. In addition, Bryant was annoyed with Jewell. After Bryant had befriended him in their days at the Small Business Administration, Jewell had borrowed his new, 250 radar detector and never returned it. He had promised to pay him 100 for it, but he never had. In the meantime, Bryant's life had changed; he had set up an office as a solo practitioner. Bryant despised corporate politics and had no gift for them. His penchant for taking on pro-bono work for friends annoyed his wife, however. Bryant believed that Richard Jewell had attached himself to him years earlier because he lacked a father, but nevertheless Jewell could get on his nerves. By the summer of 1996, Bryant was preoccupied; his marriage had come apart two years earlier, and he was trying to sort out his life. When he finally returned Jewell's phone call, he said, Well, damn it, where's my 100. Jewell laughed uneasily and told him about discovering the green backpack that contained the bomb. "Didn't you see me on the news. Bryant reminded him that he rarely watched TV. "I am proud of you, Richard. he said. "About this book contract, I think it's far-fetched, but don't sign anything unless I see it first. " In the Newsweek cover story detailing the bombing, published Monday, July 29, there was no mention of Richard Jewell. It said only that "a security guard" had alerted Tom Davis of the G. that no one had claimed the backpack under his bench. By the time Newsweek was on the stands, however, Jewell had been interviewed on CNN. The AT&T publicity department had booked him on TV and told him to wear the shirt with the AT&T logo. Jewell reluctantly agreed. "The idea of going on TV made me nervous. he told me. "I was not the hero. There were so many others who saved lives. " I n Demorest, Ray Cleere, the president of Piedmont College, was home on Saturday, July 27, watching CNN. Cleere had at one time been Mississippi's commissioner of higher education, but he was now posted at the rural Baptist mountain school. He was said to feel that he had suffered a loss of status in the boondocks, where he was out of the academic mainstream. He called Dick Martin, his chief of campus police. Shouldn't they call the F. and tell them about Richard Jewell? he asked. Cleere had had a strong disagreement with Jewell when one of the students was caught smoking pot. Jewell wanted to arrest him; Cleere said no. Cleere, Brad Mattear recalled, worried constantly about the image of the college. According to Mattear, Cleere loved the limelight. He wanted public attention"—the very trait he reportedly ascribed to Richard Jewell. Dick Martin, who was fond of Jewell, suggested a compromise, according to Lin Wood: he would call a friend in the G. Cleere then called the F. hot line in Washington himself. Wood says Cleere later complained that no one had seemed to want to listen to what he had to say about Richard Jewell. But his telephone call would trigger a complex set of circumstances in Habersham County, where F. investigators fanned out over the hills, attempting to uncover evidence that could lead to Jewell's arrest. "The F. took his word, and what it actually did was get them both in a bunch of trouble. Mattear said. (Cleere has declined to comment. ) F or Richard Jewell, Tuesday, July 30, would become a haze in which his life was turned upside down. "The hours of the day ran so fast it is hard to remember what all happened. he told me. He started the day early at the Atlanta studio of the Today show. He was tired; the evening before he had had his friend Tim Attaway, a G. agent, for dinner. He had made lasagna and had drawn Attaway a diagram of the sound-and-light tower. Jewell had talked into the night about the bombing; only later would he learn that Attaway was wearing a wire. Despite the late evening, Jewell was excited at the thought of meeting Katie Couric and being interviewed about finding the Alice pack in the park. His mother asked him to try to get Tom Brokaw's autograph. "He was a man my mom respected a great deal. he said. When he got back to the apartment, he was surprised to see a cluster of reporters in the parking lot. "Do you think you are a suspect. one asked. Jewell laughed. "I know they'll investigate anyone who was at the park that night. he said. "That includes you-all too. Jewell did not turn on the TV, but he noticed that the group outside the door continued to grow. At four that afternoon, Jewell received a phone call from Anthony Davis, the head of the security company Jewell worked for at AT&T. "Have you seen the news. Davis asked. "They are saying you are a suspect. Jewell said, They are talking to everybody. According to Jewell, Davis said, They are zeroing in on you. To keep the publicity down, don't go to work. " Within minutes, Don Johnson and Diader Rosario knocked on Jewell's door. They exuded sincerity, Jewell recalled. "They told me they wanted me to come with them to headquarters to help them make a training film to be used at Quantico. he said. Johnson played to Jewell's pride. Despite the reporters in the parking lot and the call from Anthony Davis, Jewell had no doubt that they were telling the truth. He drove the short distance to F. headquarters in Buckhead in his own truck, but he noticed that four cars were following him. "The press is on us. Jewell told Johnson when they arrived. "No, those are our guys. Johnson told him. This tactic would continue through the next 88 days and be severely criticized: Why would you have an armada of surveillance vehicles stacked up on a suspected bomber? It was then that Jewell started to wonder why he was at the F. I., but he followed Johnson and Rosario inside. Rosario was known for his skills as a negotiator; he had once helped calm a riot of Cuban prisoners in Atlanta. Johnson, however, had a reputation for overreaching. In Albany, New York, in 1987, he had pursued an investigation of then mayor Thomas Whalen. According to Whalen, the local U. attorney found no evidence to support Johnson's assertions and issued a letter to Whalen exonerating him completely, but Whalen believed it cost him an appointment as a federal judge. As Jewell sat in a small office, he wondered why the cameraman recording the interview was staring at him so intently. After an hour, Johnson was called out of the room. When he returned, he said to Jewell, Let's pretend that none of this happened. You are going to come in and start over, and by the way, we want you to fill out this waiver of rights. " At that moment a million things were going through my head. Jewell told me. "You don't give anyone a waiver of rights unless they are being investigated. I said, I need to contact my attorney. and then all of a sudden it was an instant change. 'What do you need to contact your attorney for? You didn't do anything. We thought you were a hero. Is there something you want to tell us about. Jewell grew increasingly apprehensive and later recalled thinking, These guys think I did this. When the agents took a break, Jewell asked to use the phone. "I called Watson four times. I called his brother. I told his parents that I had to get hold of Watson—it was urgent. I was, like, I have to speak to him right now. What was going on was that Washington was on the phone with Atlanta. The people in Washington were giving them questions. Jewell said he knew this because the videotapes in the cameras were two hours long and "Johnson and Rosario would leave every 30 minutes, like they had to speak on the phone. The report, however, would assert that no one at headquarters knew about the videotaping or the training-film ruse. Lying to get a statement out of a suspect is, in fact, not illegal, but clearly Johnson and Rosario were not making decisions on their own. Even the procedure of having a fleet of cars follow a suspect was an intimidation tactic used by the F. Later, according to Jewell, Johnson and Rosario would both tell him privately that they believed he was innocent, but that the investigation was being run by the "highest levels in Washington. " Within the bureau, the belief is that during one of the telephone calls Freeh instructed Johnson and Rosario to read Jewell his Miranda rights. Freeh is said to have learned of Johnson's history from a member of his security detail, who had worked in Atlanta. He told Freeh that "Johnson had a reputation for being obnoxious and a problem. In addition, a week after Jewell's interview, Freeh reportedly received a call from Janet Reno, who had learned about the ruse from Kent Alexander, the local U. attorney, and Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick. Freeh wondered aloud how it was that, of all the agents in Atlanta, Johnson had been selected to work on the Jewell case. Like Jewell, Johnson had wound up in Atlanta because of his overzealous behavior—according to an F. source, the Whalen episode had resulted in a "loss-of-effectiveness transfer. an F. euphemism. (Johnson declined to respond. ) O n that same Tuesday, Watson Bryant and Nadya Light closed the office early and went to Centennial Park. Light, 35, a pretty Russian immigrant, had never met Radar, Bryant's old friend, and wanted to buy him a celebratory meal. Killing time until Jewell came on duty, they went into the House of Blues and then bought some hot sauce. Walking toward his car, Bryant saw newsboys hawking the afternoon edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It was like out of a cartoon. They were all yelling. he recalled. "I caught the headline out of the corner of my eye. The headline read: FBI SUSPECTS 'HERO' GUARD MAY HAVE PLANTED BOMB. Bryant borrowed 50 cents from Light to buy the paper and began to read. Richard Jewell, 33. fits the profile of the lone bomber. I could not believe it. " At that moment, Bryant's brother, Bruce, who was on his way to the diving competition, got a call from Jewell. "Where is Watson. As Bruce Bryant walked past a Speedo billboard with a TV screen, he saw Richard Jewell's face filling the screen. "Oh, my God. he said to his wife. At the same moment, Watson was in his car a block away on Northside Drive when he too noticed the Speedo screen. He could not get back to his house—the streets were blocked off for the cycling competition. From his car he called F. headquarters and demanded to speak to Jewell. "He is not here. the operator said. From his home phone, he picked up his messages and heard Jewell's low, urgent tones. "He didn't leave a number. Bryant told Light. "Call Star 69. she said. The number came back: 679-9000, the number for F. headquarters, which he had just dialed. Within minutes, Bryant had Jewell on the phone. Jewell told him he was making a training film. "You idiot! You are a suspect. Get your ass out of there now. Bryant told him. B efore The Atlanta Journal-Constitution broke the story of Richard Jewell, there had been a debate in the newsroom over whether or not to name him. One block away, CNN's Art Harris and Henry Schuster had alerted the network's president that Jewell was targeted, but they held the story, because they understood its potential magnitude. At The A. C., Kathy Scruggs, a police reporter, who had allegedly gotten a tip from a close friend in the F. I., got a confirmation from someone in the Atlanta police. According to the managing editor, John Walter, the first edition of the paper that Tuesday had a brief profile of Jewell. It was dropped in later editions as Walter questioned whether the paper had enough facts to support the scoop. Because of the voice-of-God style, the paper ended up making a flat-out statement: Richard Jewell. When I asked John Walter about the lone-bomber sentence, he said, I ultimately edited it. One of the tests we put to the material is, is it a verifiable fact. One editor added, The whole story is voice-of-God. Because we see this event taking place, the need to attribute it to sources—F. or law enforcement—is less than if there is no public acknowledgment. John Walter indicated that he had not seen a lone-bomber profile. I asked him, Whose profile of a lone bomber does Richard Jewell fit? Where is the 'says who' in this sentence. Walter said that he felt comfortable with the assertion. The page-one story had a double byline: Kathy Scruggs and Ron Martz. Walter had told these two early on that they would be the reporters assigned to any Olympic catastrophe. Martz, who had covered the Gulf War, had been assigned the security beat for the Olympics; Scruggs routinely covered local crime. Scruggs had good contacts in the Atlanta police, and she was tough. She was characterized as "a police groupie" by one former staff member. "Kathy has a hard edge that some people find offensive. one of her editors told me, but he praised her skills. Police reporters are often "dictation pads" for local law enforcement; recently the American Journalism Review sharply criticized The A. for the scanty confirmation and lack of skepticism in its coverage of Jewell. The newsroom atmosphere resembled that at F. headquarters; there was a frenzy to be first. Kent Walker, a newsroom intern, published a story in the same edition, with a glaring mistake in the headline: BOMB SUSPECT HAD SOUGHT LIMELIGHT, PRESS INTERVIEWS. Since Ray Cleere's tip to the F. I., the "hero bomber" theory had been circulating among Atlanta law enforcement officers. Maria Elena Fernandez, a reporter, was sent to Habersham County on July 29. By coincidence, William Rathburn, the head of security for the Olympics, had been at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 when a fake bomb was found on a bus—left by a policeman who sought attention. On the surface, the story had an irresistible newsroom logic: Jewell was clearly looking for recognition. Bert Roughton, the city editor, had answered the telephone when a representative from AT&T called to ask if the paper would like a Jewell interview. According to Walter, Roughton himself typed a sentence in the Scruggs-and-Martz piece: He [Jewell] also has approached newspapers, including The Atlanta JournalConstitution, seeking publicity for his actions. But he hadn't. Walter explained, There was nothing wrong with that sentence. That's journalistically proper. It is not common practice, to my knowledge, to ask someone you are interviewing. Are you here of your own free will. Jewell had not contacted the paper—a fact which would have been easy enough to check. Walter became snappish when I described the sentence as "a mistake. It was not a mistake. he said angrily. Scruggs and Martz quoted Piedmont College president Ray Cleere as backup. According to Cleere, Jewell had been "a little erratic" and "almost too excitable. " There was no doubt raised by The A. about the value of Cleere's information or the fragility of the F. 's potential case. On Tuesday morning, July 30, Christina Headrick, a young intern on the paper, was sent to Buford Highway to stake out Richard Jewell's apartment. She phoned in that there were men doing surveillance. By deadline, John Walter had made a decision: he would tear up the afternoon Olympics edition and lead with Jewell. S everal states away, Colonel Robert  Ressler was watching CNN when the A. extra edition was shown. Ressler, who was retired from the behavioral-science unit of the F. I., had, along with John Douglas, developed the concept of criminal-personality profiling. He was the co-author of the Crime Classification Manual, which is used by the F. He had interviewed Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy, and as he watched the TV report, he was mystified. "They were talking about an F. profile of a hero bomber, and I thought, What F. profile? It rather surprised me. According to Ressler, the definition of "hero homicide"—a person looking for recognition without an intent to kill— perhaps emerged as "hero bomber. There is no such classification as the hero bomber. he told me recently. "This was a myth. Later he said, It occurred to me that there was no database of any bomber who lived with his mother, was a security guard and unmarried. How many hero bombers had we ever encountered? Only one that I know of, in Los Angeles, and his bomb did not go off. Ressler knew that something was off; profiles are developed from a complex set of evidence and facts derived only in part from a crime scene. The bomb had been deadly, which was not consistent with the "hero complex. Furthermore, he wondered, where did they get the information to put the profile together that fast? He asked himself, What came first here, the chicken or the egg? Was the so-called profile actually developed from the circumstances, or was it invented for Richard Jewell? W hen Jewell returned home from  F. headquarters just before eight P. M., NBC was showing special Olympic coverage. He sat on the sofa and watched Tom Brokaw say, They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still holes in this case. " Jewell knew that Brokaw was his mother's favorite newsman; he looked at her and noticed "the color and the blood flow out of her face when she heard that. Bobi turned to him and asked, What is he talking about. Jewell later recalled, Brokaw was talking about her son as a murderer. She started crying, and what am I going to say to her? Mom, Watson is going to fix this' What do you say? She doesn't hear anything anyway—she was in hysterics. At that point, Jewell said, he broke down as well. T he day Watson Bryant inadvertently became the lead lawyer for Richard Jewell, he was an attorney whom almost no one in the Atlanta legal establishment had ever heard of. "Who the hell is Watson Bryant. a caption in the daily legal sheet, the Fulton County Daily Report, would read after he had appeared on the Today show. Bryant understood Jewell's vulnerability and decided on a strategy: he would treat him as a member of his own family. In Atlanta, the Bryants were a clan: Watson's father, Goble Bryant, had been a West Point tackle, on the 1949 college all-star team; his grandfather had invented a process for putting handles on paper bags. Watson had partied through Vanderbilt University and had barely gotten accepted to law school at the University of South Carolina. He had a close relationship with his brother, Bruce, and their sister, Barbara Ann, and if he lacked staff at his office, he knew he could count on his family to pick up the slack. Bruce enlisted Jewell to help coach his junior football team; Watson had a picnic for Richard and Bobi at his parents' house at the Atlanta Country Club. When Bryant arrived at the Jewells' apartment that night, he pushed his way through the crowd standing outside in the spongy Atlanta humidity. Microphones were shoved in his face. "What is happening, Watson. Bobi asked him. Bryant asked Jewell to speak to him alone. "I want to know if you can tell me, without any hesitation at all, if you had anything to do with the bombing. he said. "I didn't. Jewell told him. "I said, I am going to ask you again. He would not look me in the eye. I said, Don't give me this "sir" shit. I said, Richard, these people want to kill you. I cannot help you unless you tell me the absolute, unequivocal truth. I was in his face. He said he did not have anything to do with it. Jewell was bewildered and numb, said Bryant, who left at 10:30 P. At midnight, Jewell called him to say, They are massing outside the apartment, Watson. " The next morning, Bryant went from talk show to talk show, starting with NBC. With the notable exception of The New York Times, virtually every newspaper in the country had picked up the A. story and run it as front-page news. There were 10, 000 reporters in Atlanta; the Los Angeles Times would later call the squad bearing down on the Jewells "a massive strike force. Tora! Tora! Tora. Bryant was in a daze, but he held his own. "Is it true that Jewell was at some time ordered to seek psychological counseling. Bryant Gumbel asked him. "I know a lot of people that ought to have psychological counseling. Watson Bryant replied. By 10 A. he was back at the Jewells' apartment, studying a search warrant that had been delivered that day. I., Jewell recalled, said that he could not be inside the apartment during the search. Bryant called F. headquarters: What the hell is this? Why can't he be there. Within an hour, at least 40 members of the F. had arrived, with dogs. "There was a physical-evidence team. There was a scientific team. There was a team for the bomb-squad people, and then the A. T. F. They all had different-color shirts. Light blue for bombs, dark blue for evidence protection, red and yellow. Bryant could not believe what he was seeing. "This is like damn Six Flags over Georgia. he told them. "I kept saying to Watson, I didn't do this. And he said, Hey, kid, I believe you—we are doing what we can. Jewell was a gun collector. Bryant was sharp with him: You get all those guns out of your closets and put them on your bed. We don't want any trouble. " For seven hours, Jewell sat outside on the staircase in what has become one of the most famous images of last summer. Bryant had to take his daughter, Meredith, to the Olympic equestrian competition, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. As he left, he said, Don't do anything stupid. Just shut up and let them do what they have to do. Hours passed as Jewell sat in the heat. "Finally I decided I would ask them if I could go in and use the rest room. They said, We got the order a couple of hours ago you could come in; you just can't get in our way. Jewell was told he had to wear rubber socks and gloves in order not to contaminate the site. The Jewell apartment is small—two bedrooms with a bathroom in between, a living room, an alcove dining room that has been turned into a den. As Jewell sat on the sofa, he thought he heard a crash in his bedroom. "I thought my CD player was on the floor, and I said, What are you-all tearing up. and they said, You can't go in there right now; we are searching. I said, I want to know what you-all just broke. One search warrant listed some 200 items the F. could confiscate, including "magazines, books. and photographs which would include descriptive information such as telephone numbers, addresses, affiliations and contact points of individuals involved in a conspiracy to manufacture, transport and. detonate. the explosive device used in the bombing at the Olympic Centennial Park on July 27, 1996. " They had all my pictures, all the stuff that was in the drawers. My personal things. How would you like to know that 12 different guys had been in your underwear, laid it out on the floor, probably walked on it and then folded it back up like nothing ever happened and put it in your drawer? So then Mom got to go and watch it on TV: Live from the Jewell house, the search continues. We are expecting an arrest any minute. When Bobi Jewell returned home, the apartment appeared neat, until she walked into her kitchen. She looked down at her counters, where all her condiments, dog biscuits, spices, and crackers had been taken out of their Tupperware containers and placed in Ziploc bags. She began to cry. And then she went into the bedroom and "immediately started washing clothes. Jewell said. Driving home from the equestrian events, Bryant heard the live coverage of the search on the radio. "Why are you helping this guy if he's guilty. Meredith asked. The next morning, Bryant received a copy of the F. inventory of articles confiscated in the apartment. On the list he was stunned to see "one hollowed-out hand grenade, ball-shaped" and "one hollowed-out hand grenade, pinecone-shaped. What the hell is this. he asked Jewell. "They were paperweights. Jewell said. "I bought them at a military store. Oh, shit. Bryant said. F or the first few days, the Jewells lived  on ham omelettes; a neighbor had brought them half a ham from the Honey Baked Ham Company on Buford Highway. Bobi Jewell had a vacation scheduled, so she remained at home, lying on the bed and "listening to the ball game if it was on. For two weeks, she cleaned out her bureau drawers. Richard would spend the day watching CNN or movies such as Backdraft and Midnight Run. "I would look out the window and see about 150 to 200 press people. Then it would drop to five or six on the hill. They had one person sitting up there at all times with their binoculars. Richard believed they were being monitored. "They heard everything that was going on. They were over there with high-intensity zoom lenses. They had people over there who could read lips. They had a sound dish. They could hear everything that we said. They had a person writing down everything we said. I saw them. " When Bobi walked out the door, Jewell said, they would holler obscenities and yell, You should both die' Once, Bobi's cat jumped on the window ledge under the curtain and the photographers began frenetically shooting pictures, believing that one of the Jewells was in the window. Sound trucks and boom microphones prevented the neighbors from getting near the apartment. Three F. agents were usually sitting near the tiny swimming pool; each time Jewell or his mother left the house, a cavalcade of unmarked cars would follow. Richard soon began to write a speech describing the horror he felt at being falsely accused. He ate grilled-cheese sandwiches, huge pans of lasagna, and can after can of Campbell's tomato soup. "If my mom and I had something we wanted to talk about that we didn't want anyone to hear, we wrote it on pieces of paper. When she left to go to work the next day, she would take it with her, tear it up, and put it in the trash! That is how I kept my mother informed about what was going on with the case. The notes were specific: What the Justice Department was saying, what my attorneys were hearing through the grapevine that I could tell my mom that was not privileged. It was mainly stuff like 'Keep the faith' and 'Can I borrow 10 for gas in the truck. Jewell described how, when his mother would walk out the door, they would holler obscenities at her. They would yell, Did he do it? Did he blow those people up. They would yell, You should both die. According to Jewell, The cameramen were just trying to get us aggravated so they could get it on camera. You don't know how hard it is when they are saying stuff about my mother and me. All she was trying to do was walk her dog. And she cannot do that without hearing that yelling. When someone did that to my mother, I would want to be up on the hill calling the police, because I would want them arrested. I was going to say, Mom, tell me which one said that. And I was going to walk up to that person and introduce myself and say, Hi, my name is Richard Jewell. What is yours? Who do you work for? Who is your supervisor. And I was going to go home and call 911 to get a warrant. " By disposition, Jewell is a night person, but he would get up early when his mother went back to work and make her breakfast. By 11 A. he would be playing Mortal Kombat II and listening to 96 Rock on the radio, where one of his friends is a disc jockey. Four days into his period of captivity, he called the DeKalb County police. He recalled telling a Mr. Brown. This is Richard Jewell. I am sure you are aware of my situation over on Buford Highway. He said, Yes, Richard, I know. I said, I just want to tell you my situation. Number one: I did not do this. Number two: I am here and I am not leaving the apartment for any reason at all. I said that all the press was doing right now was aggravating my mother and disturbing my neighbors, and I would really appreciate it if the neighbors could return to a normal life. " O n Saturday, August 3, as Bryant stared at the F. agent plucking Jewell's hair, he had already made a decision. "It was, like, screw it. I had had it. The next day was the closing ceremony of the Olympics; Bryant imagined that that would be the day the government might choose to arrest Jewell. "Who is the best criminal lawyer in Georgia. he asked a state lawyers' association. Within a day, he had brought in Jack Martin, an expert on the federal death penalty and a Harvard law school graduate with close ties to the local U. attorney, Kent Alexander. "Let me tell you something about myself. Jewell told him in their first meeting. "I hate criminal lawyers. Well, Richard. Martin said, I don't much like cops, but sometimes I need one, and this is a time you sure need a criminal lawyer. " That weekend, watching the Olympic basketball finals, Bryant had an idea: he wanted to be prepared with his own polygraph test of Jewell if the F. arrested him. From the game, Bryant called a close friend who was a former federal prosecutor. "Try Richard Rackleff. he said. "We worked together on the Walter Moody bombing case. Rackleff had recently set up a private practice, and he agreed to test Jewell the next day. On Sunday morning, Bryant was up early, unable to sleep. He drove around town, making calls from his cell phone. He dialed 679-9000—the F. "This is Watson Bryant. I am going to pick up Richard Jewell. I just want you to know that. I don't have a white Bronco. I don't have a wig, and I don't have cash in my car. We are just going to my office. " Watson had coordinated an elaborate plan with his brother to dodge reporters; he would use a decoy and snake through a parking garage. Rackleff had been instructed to park blocks from Bryant's office, because his car could be identified easily, since he was well known in Atlanta law enforcement. When Rackleff sat down with Richard Jewell in the conference room, he later told me, he sensed almost immediately that Jewell was innocent. Rackleff had tested many bombers before, including Walter Moody, who was convicted of killing a federal judge. "They are strange ducks—they leave their attorneys cold. Rackleff said. Although no one knew Rackleff was in the building, more than 100 reporters gathered outside to get a look at Jewell. Inside, Jack Martin, Bryant, Nadya Light, and Jewell spent 12 hours in Bryant's office. Rackleff asked Jewell a series of questions, but the test was inconclusive. "Richard is tormented. He is exploding on the inside. Rackleff said. While he was testing him, CNN's Art Harris was visible through the window of Bryant's office, but he could not see inside. Bryant was thoroughly deflated, close to despair. "You have got to try to buck Richard up. Rackleff told him. "Who is going to buck me up. Bryant asked. 'W e are not in missile range of arresting Richard Jewell, but we want him to take our own polygraph. Kent Alexander told Bryant and Jack Martin in their first meeting on the case. In the meantime, Rackleff had tested Jewell again, and he had passed with "no deception. the highest rating. By this time, it was clear that there was no damning evidence against Jewell discovered at the apartment or in his old house in Habersham County. Alexander was only 38, but he had been groomed for politics in a fancy local family. His father was a senior partner in a good Atlanta law firm, and he had worked as an intern for Senator Sam Nunn. Bryant worried about Alexander's lack of experience, but Alexander told colleagues that he was disturbed by the lack of substantial evidence against Jewell. He was trying to operate with decency, but he was cautious and had to check every detail with Washington. Bryant, however, didn't trust Alexander; he had had a bad experience with Alexander's predecessor. In 1990, Bryant had almost been put out of business in a tussle with the then U. attorney. The local Small Business Administration accused a bank Bryant represented of improper use of funds; the bank blamed Bryant, who was brought before a grand jury and over the next two years almost lost his practice. He spent 50, 000 defending himself, and Nadya Light had to take another job, but eventually the case was settled with Bryant's agreeing not to do business with the S. for 18 months. Bryant had always felt that he had been manhandled by the office. "I learned everything I needed to know about dealing with this office in 1990. Bryant recalled telling Alexander. "No polygraph for Richard. " At the meeting, Alexander told Bryant and Martin, This is all off-the-record. This is a request that is strictly confidential. Weeks later, Louis Freeh came to town to address a breakfast of former F. agents. Almost immediately, the polygraph request was reported on CNN. "Kent, I thought we had an agreement. Bryant told him. "I cannot control Washington. Alexander said. W hen two of the bomb-blast victims sued Richard Jewell, Bryant brought in Wood and Grant to handle the civil litigation. Martin opposed the move. He believed in the cone of silence: Circle the wagons and don't speak. He said that Wood and Grant had a different perspective: Attack, attack, and if you give any quarter, it is a sign of weakness. Martin had been reassured in private by Kent Alexander that Jewell was not in any immediate danger of being arrested, but the team disagreed about press tactics. Martin worked through the Atlanta-establishment back channels; Lin Wood was a rhetoric man. He favored "one big newsbreak a week. You know who wrote the book Masters of Deceit? J. Edgar Hoover! And that was about the Communist Party in America. So now they have gone from masters of investigation to masters of deceit. he would routinely tell reporters who called. T hree days after Wood and Grant surfaced as the two new civil lawyers, a Ford van with a tinted bubble-shaped window appeared on the top level of the Macy's parking garage which faced the conference-room windows of their offices. According to Wood, the van did not move for 10 days. "We used to sit there and wave at it. Then the lawyers placed a camera in the window, and the next day the vehicle was gone. "For sure that van had laser sound-detecting equipment. Wood said. Jewell was annoyed that press descriptions of him always emphasized his "overzealousness" he considers himself a man of details. Often, when he's watching movies at home, he freeze-frames in order to study props in scenes. The second weekend he was considered a suspect, he told me, I walked in and I noticed white powder all over the telephone table in the conference room. It was a Saturday morning, and Jewell had been with his lawyers until late the night before. He told me he was convinced that the F. "had lifted a ceiling tile. and that the white powder was "dust that came down. Bryant and Jewell made light of it and did not sweep their phones, believing that any tap the F. would use would be of a laser or satellite variety and impossible to trace. "In the beginning of every conversation, Watson would curse for about a minute and tell them what lowlives they were. And then he would say, By the way, this is Richard's lawyer. Y'all can cut your tape players off. Jewell said. "I would call them dirty scumbags. said Bryant. But the local U. attorney, Kent Alexander, insisted that their phones were not tapped. "There are no wiretap warrants. he said. The F. did turn up one bit of potentially troublesome evidence in the Jewells' apartment—fragments of a fence that had been blown up in the explosion. After a telephone conversation with Watson Bryant, Kathy Scruggs quoted him saying, Yes, he did have a sample of the blown-up bomb. Bryant accused her of egregiously misquoting him. He remembered saying to her, Yes, Richard had souvenirs of the bombing. Scruggs had not taped their conversation. "She cut the 'ing' off of 'bomb. Bryant later told me, but Scruggs strongly denies this. The day the story broke, Bryant criticized Scruggs on local radio. That afternoon she appeared at his office to attempt to clear up the misunderstanding. "I don't like your reporting. Bryant recalled telling her. "I'm human, too. she said. The next day, Ron Martz inserted a quote from Bryant in an unrelated news story: Oh, man, it's not even a scrap of the bomb—it's a piece of damned fence, for God's sake. But the quote would have little impact. Scruggs's version had been picked up; gathering force, it was eventually related by Bill Press on Crossfire on the evening of October 28: The guy was seen with a homemade bomb at his home a few days before. The next day CNN would be forced to apologize for the mistake. ) By this time Bryant had grown enraged by the media coverage. The New York Post had called Jewell "a Village Rambo" and "a fat, failed former sheriff's deputy. Jay Leno had said that Jewell "had a scary resemblance to the guy who whacked Nancy Kerrigan. and asked, What is it about the Olympic Games that brings out big fat stupid guys. The A. s star columnist, Dave Kindred, had compared Jewell to serial murderer Wayne Williams: Like this one, that suspect was drawn to the blue lights and sirens of police work. Like this one, he became famous in the aftermath of murder. " Television journalism was also a revelation to Bryant; he felt he had "landed on Mars. and spent hours channel-surfing. On CNN, one criminologist said "it was possible" that Jewell had a hero complex. Bryant told his brother, Bruce, I know I am going to sue someone. I just don't know who. Bruce Bryant searched for Jewell's name on the Internet three weeks into his ordeal and found 10, 000 stories. The tone many of the journalists took was accusatory and pre-determined, with a few rare exceptions, such as that of CBS correspondent Jim Stewart. "Don't jump to any conclusion yet. he said sharply in a broadcast at the height of the frenzy. In his first week as Jewell's lawyer, Bryant went to the CNN studio to be interviewed by Larry King. After the broadcast, he was asked to stop in at the office of CNN president Tom Johnson. "They wanted to know what I thought of their reporting so far. Art Harris was in the room. "I turned around and I said to Art Harris, Who the hell are you and the rest of the media to make fun of how Richard Jewell and his mother live? Who are you to make fun of working people who live in a 470-a-month apartment? Is there something wrong with that? Who are you to say that he is a weirdo because he lives with his mother. A ccording to Jack Martin, the F. spent weeks on one erroneous early theory—that Richard Jewell was an enraged homosexual cop-hater who had been aided in the bombing by his lover. Jewell had purportedly planted the bomb; the lover then made the 911 phone call warning that it would go off in Centennial Park. The rationale behind this idea was that Jewell was "mad at the cops and wanted to kill other cops. Martin told me. The rumor began at Piedmont College, perhaps invented by several of the students Jewell had turned in for smoking pot, but it had a chilling consequence. In mid-August, three agents appeared at the Curtis Mathes video store in Cornelia, where Chris Simmons, a senior at Piedmont, worked part-time. Simmons, a friend of Jewell's, who was engaged to be married, was a B student, but he displayed the same porcine blankness as Jewell and spoke in a slow drawl. He had a deep distrust of the government and carried a card in his pocket that read: CHRISTOPHER DWAYNE SIMMONS-CAMPAIGN SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES. The agents questioned Simmons in the store for one and a half hours. "They asked me if I was a homosexual. They asked me if I had accessed the Internet. They later wanted to wire me. They said, If he is really a hero, we will find out, and if not, he has killed someone and injured a lot of people. Simmons was short with the agents and denied everything. They accused him of lying and said they could take him to Atlanta. The agents told someone Simmons had once worked with that Simmons might be involved in the bombing. "They kept wording questions differently. They kept saying: Do you think Richard Jewell could have done this if he believed that he could get people out in time and nobody would get hurt. Simmons later called one of the F. agents and said, I hear you don't believe my story. He recalled their conversation. I think you are sugarcoating your answers. he said. I said, Next time I talk with you, it will be with a lawyer. And he asked me if I was threatening him. Then he hung up on me. Ultimately, Simmons volunteered to take a polygraph, which he says he passed. "I was a nervous wreck. he said. "I had only seen this on TV. " What was not known outside a small circle of investigators was how deadly the Centennial Park bomb really was. It was well constructed, with a piece of metal shaped like a V, and inside, it had canisters filled with nails and screws. Jack Martin, who had spent time in Vietnam, compared its construction to that of a claymore mine, a sophisticated and lethal device. The bomb weighed more than 40 pounds. It was "a shaped charge. F. deputy director Weldon Kennedy would announce in December. It could blast out fragments from three separate canisters, but only one of the canisters exploded on July 27. Someone had moved the Alice pack slightly before the bomb detonated, causing most of the shrapnel to shoot into the sky. The composition of the bomb did not suggest the work of an amateur, Kathy Scruggs would ironically later report, after interviewing an A. chemist. A s the weeks went by, Richard Jewell   withdrew into a state of psychological limbo; he began to try to analyze what the agents might think of his behavior within the small apartment. "I would be watching a spy show on TV or something like a John Wayne movie. Someone would be talking about blowing something up, and I would think to myself, My God, that is going to sound really bad if they think I am listening to that. He worried that "they would think I was some kind of a nut. and often, when he could not sleep, he would find himself consciously switching to exercise videos and soap operas. Over Labor Day weekend, he drove up to Habersham County for a picnic with his ex-girlfriend's family, the Chastains. As usual, three F. cars followed him, but he had gotten adept at picking out the unmarked vehicles. As Jewell drove into town, he noticed that white ribbons hung from hundreds of trees; the Chastains had organized a campaign in his behalf. On the way home, Jewell drove with his friend Dave Dutchess. For the first time, he did not see an F. car following him, but he noticed an airplane flying low overhead. He drove another 20 miles, and the plane was still on him. "I said, Dave, do you think the F. would be following us in an airplane? It wouldn't be that hard to do, if they put some kind of beeper on the car. The plane followed them through Gainesville all the way to Atlanta—an hour's drive. "Just to make sure, we got off on an exit ramp and went about five miles back north. And I got out and took a picture. They followed us all the way back to the apartment! And they circled the apartment for about 15 minutes, until the F. car showed back up. I got very emotional. My cheeks got beet red. And Mom came home and said, What is going on? What is the matter. It just destroyed the whole day. " O n September 2, Dave Dutchess and his fiancee, Beatty, were driving to their house in Tennessee. It was raining hard, and they noticed they were being followed by several F. cars. The storm grew worse, and they stopped at a hotel for the night. The next day, while getting coffee at a McDonald's, they were surrounded by F. "We just want to talk to you. We are trying to be discreet. One agent, Dutchess recalled, spoke into his radio: We have the suspect in hand. As they walked back toward their car, Dutchess said to Beatty, They think I am his accomplice. I heard on the news they were looking for his accomplice! After the interview, which lasted several hours, Dutchess spoke to Watson Bryant. "What did they ask you that concerns you. Bryant asked him. "Well, I decided that I had to tell them the truth. Me and one of my friends used to set off pipe bombs for fun. Dutchess told him. "What. Bryant exclaimed, incredulous. "Yeah, I told them we liked to throw pipe bombs down gopher holes when we lived out in West Virginia. " Did Richard know this friend. Bryant asked apprehensively. "Hell, no. He never met him. Dutchess said, but Bryant knew that this could prolong the F. 's investigation perhaps by months. "I hung up and I was thinking, I cannot believe that I even know anyone who throws pipe bombs into gopher holes. " A s part of their strategy, Wood and Grant decided to mount a strong counterattack against the government. Wayne Grant had come up with the idea: Bobi Jewell should hold a press conference during the Democratic convention and make a direct plea to Bill Clinton. The day before she was to appear, Grant rehearsed her. It was difficult to work with Bobi; she was exhausted and could not stop crying. Confined under siege for almost a month, she could not see an end to it, since every day brought a new humiliation. The resident manager had threatened to take away their lease, and the manager's son was out selling pictures he took of them. A close friend from church was dying, Bobi said, and Richard could not go to see him, because of the swarm of F. agents and reporters who followed him everywhere. All of it came out in a rush in the conference room with Wayne Grant: Bobi had even had to give Bryant and Nadya Light the Olympic-basketball tickets she had won as colleague of the year, and every night she and her son were stuck together, staring at each other across the kitchen table. They were often irritable, and Richard sometimes lost his temper. "Mother, just shut up. he would tell her when she nagged him about the case. Then, Bobi later recalled, she would go into her bedroom and lie on the four-poster bed hoping that the photographers who rented an apartment across the way for 1, 000 a day had no way of knowing what was going on. Grant kept careful notes on the session. Bobi was terrified about appearing in front of cameras. She sobbed and told him, If I go on TV Monday, I'll be embarrassed. It will be, like, whenever I go anywhere, people will be looking at me: Did he do it or didn't he do it. "If you talked to the person who is in charge of the investigation, what would you say. Grant asked her calmly. Bobi's voice was halting, but she was firm: He is innocent. Clear his name and let us get back to a life that is normal. " A few weeks later, Wayne Grant went to a party for a Bar Mitzvah, and a guest cornered him. She asked him if he had told Bobi Jewell to cry at the end of her press conference, and then added coldly, Nice touch. " T he lawyers' strategy worked: after Bobi's press conference, the Jewells were deluged with interview requests. Bryant often received 100 phone calls a day. Bobi soon developed a system: letters from Oprah Winfrey, Sally Jessy Raphael, and TV producers were stacked on the console in the living room; flowers and baskets of Godiva chocolates and cheese and crackers from the networks were sent to the offices of Wood & Grant and then on to a children's hospital. A t the U. Attorney's Office, it had become increasingly clear to Kent Alexander that something had to be done about Richard Jewell. Janet Reno had seen Bobi Jewell on TV and was moved by her sincerity. Privately, Reno and Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick were said to be concerned about the heavy-handed tactics of the F. "The case had become a total embarrassment. a Justice Department official told me, but Alexander was in a complicated situation. He was working closely with the F. I., and there was no sign that the bureau was ready to let go, despite growing consternation among the local agents that the Washington command center had mishandled the case. And there was another problem: Alexander did not trust Lin Wood. By late September, there was a tremendous strain within the team Bryant had hastily assembled. The other lawyers accused Jack Martin of cutting private deals with his friend Kent Alexander, pulling focus, and not being tough enough. For his part, Alexander, according to Martin, admired Bryant even though he believed he was a loose cannon, but he was fed up with Lin Wood. "Alexander would say something fairly candid to me, and I would report it to the attorneys, and the next day he would see it on TV. said Jack Martin. "Alexander had checked out Lin, and he knew that he was a take-no-prisoners guy. The lawyers often argued among themselves. Wood insisted on a full-blowout press-attack strategy. Bryant had mastered his sound bite: The F. is a 500-pound gorilla who will kick the shit out of anyone. Martin wanted the lawyers to ease up on the hyperbole: I would say, We do not need to do this. And Lin would say, Let's go public with this. He was manic about it. In one argument, Wood told him, Goddamn it, Martin, you're like my ex-wives. There isn't anything you can say I won't object to. " T here was an atmosphere of extreme apprehension between Bryant and Jewell as they drove to F. headquarters on the afternoon of October 6. They were on their way to what would seemingly be a session with conclusional overtones, but Jewell was worried: What if this meeting was a trick? It was difficult to believe that the bureau was really ending its two-month-long investigation into his life. For weeks, Jack Martin and Bryant had been going back and forth with Kent Alexander. Finally, Jewell had agreed to an unusual suggestion: if he submitted to a lengthy voluntary interview with the bureau, and if Division 5 was satisfied, then perhaps the Justice Department could issue a letter publicly stating that he was no longer a suspect. Jewell tried to imagine the questions he would be asked. "I wanted to look at everything from their angle. he told me, trying to assess it and reassess it in my head. " On the day of Jewell's exoneration, Jay Leno apologized for having called him a Unadoofus. Kent Alexander had set a firm ground rule: Only one lawyer representing Jewell could be in the room. It had been agreed that Jack Martin, the criminal specialist, would be the man, which enraged Lin Wood. "You could really see how these guys did not like each other. Jewell said. "I am not comfortable with the one-lawyer agreement. Wood told John Davis, Kent Alexander's second-in-command, when they were assembled. "We have an agreement. If you attempt to renegotiate it, I will have egg on my face. Davis said, adding, You are not a man of your word. With that, Wood recalled, he rose from his chair and started screaming, You are not going to say that to me, you son of a bitch. Kent Alexander interrupted, saying, This is deteriorating. We aim to stop this. Let's just regroup. " When Jewell, Davis, and Martin finally sat down for the interview, Larry Landers, a special agent with the G. I., and F. special agent Bill Lewis had lists of questions with blank space for answers in front of them. On the wall of the windowless room, there were extensive aerial photographs of the park and, as a prop, an actual park bench was later brought in. Martin believed that the agents intended to resolve areas in the affidavits and other questions: Had Richard ever accessed Candyman's Candyland for information on the Anarchists' Cookbook? Had Richard picked up any pieces of pipe when the park was under construction? Had he told anyone, Take my picture now, because I am going to be famous" None of this had happened, Jewell said. All he could remember telling someone was that he was off to Atlanta and "going to be in that mess down there. meaning the traffic jams. They pressed him about seemingly inconsistent statements he had made on the morning of the bombing: Why had he told Agent Poor everything was normal when he checked the perimeter of the fence? Jewell explained that he had been walking the "inside of the fence. He once again explained that he had wanted to work the sound-and-light tower so that he could watch the entertainment; he had arranged for his mother to hear Kenny Rogers four days before the explosion. The area, he told Landers, was "a sweet site" and a great place to look at girls. During a break, Martin asked about all his references to women. Jewell said he wanted them to know he wasn't gay. On several occasions, Landers became annoyed: Why couldn't Jewell pin down the times? Had he seen the drunks on the bench between 10:30 and 11 or between 11 and 11:30? Why hadn't he looked at his watch? Jewell later recalled, I said, I don't go through my life looking at my watch. I don't care about time. When the bomb went off, I did not look at my watch. They were wanting to know what time I went to the bathroom and stuff like that. When you have the runs, you are not really concerned about what time it is. You are concerned with getting to the bathroom. " On the day after the F. meeting, Jack Martin dictated a 27-page account of everything that had been said during the six-hour interview. In the last moments, Davis said, he wanted to give Richard the opportunity once and for all to say that he didn't do it. Jewell, Martin wrote, unequivocally and fortunately said that he had nothing to do with the bomb and didn't know anything about the bomb and if he did he would be the first to deliver the bastard to their door. When Martin walked out, he thought to himself, This really was a formality. They had nothing. I n November a rumor swept through the newsroom of The A. that Cox newspaper executives were rethinking their news policies. According to one reporter, The sloppiness of the Jewell reporting and the lack of sources was the last straw. A reporter named Carrie Teegardin was assigned to write a piece examining how the media spotlight was turned on Richard Jewell. In large part, her article wound up being an examination of the role of The A. After Wood and Grant threatened to sue, the article was killed. "We didn't get through the editing of it. John Walter said. "The Jewells' attorney began saying, We're thinking lawsuit. and that made us more cautious. Meanwhile, Lin Wood and Wayne Grant were busy holding meetings with lawyers from NBC and Piedmont College. At NBC, Tom Brokaw's carelessness reportedly cost the network more than 500, 000 to settle Jewell's claims, although Jewell's lawyers would not confirm a figure, BROKAW GOOFED AND NBC PAID, the New York Daily News would later headline. In talks with Ray Cleere, the figure of 450, 000 by way of settlement was first suggested, then withdrawn when Piedmont College learned that it had insurance. "This will cost them millions now. Lin Wood believes. O n one occasion I asked Richard Jewell if he had any theories about who might have placed the bomb. Jewell said he had popped "two or three theories off the top of my head" on the night he was interviewed by the F. "I have gone over that night hundreds of times in my head. You try to think, What type of person would do that? I know it is someone who wanted to hurt people. It is someone who is sick. I hope they find him so he can get the help he needs. Because I am totally torn up about what happened. Every day I think about it, and I will think about it for the rest of my life. " Jewell often speaks with Bryant three times a day. As Jewell searches for a new job, he hangs around Bryant's office, and he recently studied handwriting analysis at the police academy. He has been offered several security jobs with Georgia companies, but he is hoping he will be hired as a Cobb County deputy. In the meantime, Bryant, Wood, and Grant have become sought-after speakers on the First Amendment. At F. headquarters in late October, Bobi Jewell broke down and cried as she identified their possessions—the Disney tapes, the Tupperware, Richard's AT&T uniforms, address books. It was a tableau of ordinary middle-class life, laid out on brown paper on a long conference-room table. "I just don't fucking believe this. Watson Bryant said angrily as he packed Bobi's videos into packing crates. "The agents tried to shake my hand. Bobi told me. "I wouldn't touch them. It took 10 hours to remove their possessions, Bobi recalled, and four minutes to return them. T he F. is working on a new and elaborate theory of who did place the bomb in Centennial Park. There is an informed opinion that the backpack discovered a week earlier had in fact been a test run to check F. procedures, and that the bomber—perhaps a member of a militia group—was quite experienced and had struck before. After a torrent of criticism in the press, Louis Freeh announced that the F. had arrested Harold Nicholson, an alleged spy for Russia, and he used the opportunity to appear on the Today show and Good Morning America, hyping his role in what was a minor arrest, according to one former F. agent. In Australia in November, Bill Clinton was asked about his campaign contributions from Indonesia. "One of the things I would urge you to do, remembering what happened to Mr. Jewell in Atlanta, remembering what has happened to so many of the accusations. that have been made against me that turned out to be totally baseless, I just think that we ought to. get the facts out. When Jewell learned of his comment, he pulled up the transcript from the Internet and became angry: The president is just using me, like everyone else. " What rights does a private citizen have against the government? The legal precedent for suing the F. I., Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents, focuses on the behavior of individual agents. Wood believes that Jewell has a strong case against Johnson and Rosario. When Wood learned of Colonel Ressler, he hired him as a possible trial expert. In December, the F. announced that it would pay up to 500, 000 to anyone who could lead it to the Olympic Park bomber. As Jewell and I drove back from Habersham County in November, he went over the early-morning hours of July 27: I remember all of the people who were my responsibility. I remember the guys' faces who were flying through the air. I remember people screaming. The sirens going off. I don't think I will ever forget any of that. You just kind of wish sometimes. You think, Could I have done something else. What if we only had five more minutes? Then maybe nobody would have been hurt. But you are what-if-ing. I have been over it a thousand times. I think we could not have done it any better. I think that is something I will always be wondering. " He said he was not sure if he would ever get a job in law enforcement again, particularly since he had been held up as a cartoon figure. On the day of Jewell's exoneration, Jay Leno apologized for having called him a Unadoofus, and said, If Jewell wins his lawsuit with NBC, he will be my new boss. He later said that this was "the greatest week in trailer-park history. The Atlanta radio station 96 Rock had put billboards of Jewell all over town; Freebird. they said, a reference to the Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Jewell would later file suit against the station, but the billboard's message was clear. Jewell knows that for many people in America there will perhaps always be a subtle doubt: What if, after all, Richard Jewell really did do it? What if the government let him go simply because it could not make its case? Then he becomes not the innocent Richard Jewell, but the Richard Jewell who may be innocent. "You don't get back what you were originally. he told me. "I don't think I will ever get that back. The first three days, I was supposedly their hero—the person who saves lives. They don't refer to me that way anymore. Now I am the Olympic Park bombing suspect. That's the guy they thought did it...

Bob Costas, a class act. To the FBI. IT WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE YOU MADE. LETS HOPE EVERYONE HAS LEARNED TO NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

Download Movie Richard jewellery

Richard Jewell loved movies, particularly anything with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. Living with his mother, Bobi, in her Atlanta apartment, Jewell, who worked as a security guard, would sometimes tell her when there was a film he thought shed like so they could watch it together. “His schedule was iffy — he was gone at night most of the time — but if there was a good one hed let me know about it and wed watch it, ” Bobi Jewell recalls by phone from Atlanta on an early-December morning. She pauses. “He loved his loud music, and the people in the apartment above were elderly and they used to bang on the wall. But other than that, he was a good kid. ” Back then, Bobi Jewell never could have imagined that Eastwood would one day direct a film about her son: the drama “Richard Jewell, ” which is now in theaters. She never could have imagined that she would bake her famous pound cake for one of Richards biggest heroes and walk a red carpet at a glitzy premiere with Eastwood, holding his hand. But then again, before that terrible summer of 1996, she never could have imagined that there would even be a story to tell. On July 27, 1996, a week into the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Richard Jewell was working security at a nighttime concert in the citys Centennial Park when he noticed a suspicious backpack underneath a bench and alerted the police. A bomb squad was called in and, as Jewell and other security and law enforcement personnel worked to evacuate people from the area, an explosive device in the backpack detonated. One person was killed and 111 were injured — a casualty count that surely would have been much higher had Jewell not discovered the bomb and helped move concertgoers to safety. Initially, Jewell was hailed as a hero. But just three days later, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the FBI was treating him as a possible suspect, under the theory that the security guard, disgruntled over a career that hadnt panned out the way hed hoped, might have planted the bomb so he could then “discover” it and be celebrated for saving lives. Over the next three months, Jewell and his mother became virtual prisoners in Bobis apartment as the FBI kept him under constant surveillance and the media depicted him as the presumed culprit. Even after his name was cleared with the help of a lawyer named Watson Bryant — even after domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty to the Centennial Park bombing and three other attacks in 2005 — the ordeal would hover over Jewell until his death in 2007 at age 44 of heart failure from complications of diabetes. It still haunts his mother to this day. Bobi Jewell says shes grateful that Eastwood has made that ordeal the subject of his latest film — with Paul Walter Hauser as Richard, Kathy Bates as Bobi and Sam Rockwell as Bryant — and that those who may have only vague memories, if any, of the bombing and its aftermath will know that her son really was a hero. “Thats what I want people to know, instead of what we have had to contend with, ” she says, her voice breaking. “I just want the world to know what can happen to a little old lady. I was 60-something when it happened and Im 83 now. So life goes on. ” Sam Rockwell as Watson Bryant, left, Kathy Bates as Bobi Jewell and Paul Walter Hauser as Richard Jewell in a scene from “Richard Jewell. ” (Claire Folger / Warner Bros. Pictures) Their bonds forged in that media and legal firestorm, Bryant and the Jewells remained close; for a time, Bobi even babysat for the lawyers two children. Bryant hopes “Richard Jewell” will finally erase any lingering doubts about Jewells role in the bombing. “Look, to this day I run into people and when you say Richard Jewell, they say, ‘Oh, hes the guy that got off, ” says Bryant, who is still outraged at the way Jewells reputation was tarnished. “These bums [in the FBI] never had enough to arrest him — they had nothing but a bunch of BS taken out of context that they used to frame him up for a story that was too good to be true. Yet to this day people think he had something ugly to do with the bombing — when hes the guy that, but for him, it would have been raining body parts when that bomb went off. I cant imagine how many people are alive today and how many kids have been born just because Richard did his job. ” When first approached about starring in “Richard Jewell, ” both Rockwell and Bates were largely unfamiliar with the story of the Centennial Park bombing, which neither had followed closely at the time. “I just remember Muhammad Ali with the torch [at the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremonies] and crying like a baby at that, ” Rockwell says. But after meeting Bryant and Bobi Jewell, they quickly came to understand how profoundly they and Richard had been impacted by those three months and the years of litigation and other aftershocks that followed. (NBC News, CNN and the New York Post eventually settled lawsuits filed by Jewell. “I met Bobi when I went down to shoot in Atlanta and we spent quite a few hours together, ” says Bates, who has earned a Golden Globe nomination for supporting actress for her performance. “Even after all these years, its still really raw for her and she teared up quite a few times as she told me some anecdotes: how they were supported by their church but prevented from seeing them and how Richard was prevented from going to visit a friend when he was dying. It was just devastating. You dont realize when you throw a grenade in a foxhole like that that youre going to have so much collateral damage. ” A late arrival in this years awards season, “Richard Jewell” has earned generally positive reviews and a measure of Oscar buzz but has also drawn its share of controversy. Given Eastwoods well-known conservative leanings, some have viewed the film through a political lens, seeing it as a kind of Trump-friendly broadside against two of the presidents most frequent targets, the FBI and the news media. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has criticized the movie over its portrayal of the late reporter Kathy Scruggs, played by Olivia Wilde, saying it falsely depicts her as trading sex for information and demanding a disclaimer. (The paper spent years fighting a lawsuit brought by Jewell and, in 2011, the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled in its favor. In response to the papers charges, Warner Bros. issued a statement earlier this week calling the claims “baseless” and saying, in part, “It is unfortunate and the ultimate irony that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, having been a part of the rush to judgment of Richard Jewell, is now trying to malign our filmmakers and cast. ” Eastwood was unavailable to comment for this story. Director Clint Eastwood with Bobi Jewell on the red carpet for the premiere of “Richard Jewell” at AFI Fest on Nov. 20. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) For his part, Rockwell says he doesnt see the film in political terms at all. “I think its an old-fashioned melodrama about injustice, ” he says. “Its like a John Grisham novel or Arthur Millers ‘The Crucible, or ‘Philadelphia or ‘A Few Good Men. They dont really make movies like this anymore. I dont know if theyll make them at all in 10 years. ” Bates says she can see how Jewells story can be regarded as a clear-cut indictment of law enforcement and media overreach, but she hopes the audience for the film takes a more nuanced view. “The government got it wrong and the media got it wrong, but I dont want people to come away from this movie kicking dust on those institutions because now more than ever we need the press to be truthful with us, ” Bates says. “They wanted to solve the case quickly and not lose all that money on the Olympics, and Kathy Scruggs, she really wanted the right story. They were all so passionate about trying to do their jobs, and you cant fault them for that specifically. Its a cautionary tale. I think we all need to slow the. down and really think things through. ” At a time of intense polarization, how the wider audience will receive “Richard Jewell” remains to be seen. But it wont hit anyone in quite the same way that it does Bryant and Bobi Jewell. “We had this profound sense of loss when the movie was over, ” Bryant says. “Paul is so good [as Jewell] that Richard was back for a couple of hours — and then hes gone again. ” “I told Bobi I thought that Richard was orchestrating this whole thing from the other side, ” he continues. “The big tragedy is that hes not here, because he would so get off on a Clint Eastwood movie where he got to be with him and all this other stuff. He would be as happy as he could be. The next best thing is for Bobi to get there. One of the best things Ive ever seen is this video clip of Bobi on the red carpet with Clint Eastwood, looking up into his face and smiling. After all this poor woman has been through over the years, to have such joy for a while is priceless. ” To this day, Bobi Jewell isnt totally sure how her son processed the experience of being publicly vilified for something he hadnt done, of being turned overnight from a national hero to a purported glory-chasing criminal. Through it all, he didnt talk much about his feelings because he didnt want to add to her worries. “He lived with it, ” she says quietly. “There was a lot I didnt know because he wouldnt tell me. I think the children now will know what Richard went through. Lets hope it doesnt happen to anybody else. ”.

I wish Richard was alive to see this film (along with the tv show coming out next year) its extremely saddening to realize just how dirty the media did him. Rest In Peace, Hero.

To my FBI agent: please give Mrs Jewell her Tupperware and Disney tapes back. I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I remember when Richard Jewel was being ripped apart by the media and I thought that it was so unfair how he was being treated. I remember one particular thing in the media that was especially nasty. Some program had on a body language 'expert' and they played some video of Richard and this disgusting 'expert' was saying that she could tell by his body language that he had been sexually molested as a child by a male relative. I'm silently yelling at her that is so much bullshit. I could see through all this character assassination what was going on. Thank you for this presentation. I'm one of those people who don't go to movies but I am definitely going to see this one.

Yet Kathy was more than happy to drag Richard Jewell's name through the mud for the sake of a good story. Download Movie Richard jewel box.

I've just found Ignatius J Reilly. The  Atlanta Journal-Constitution is asking for a Warner Bros. disclaimer statement in its new film " Richard Jewell. over its portrayal of a real-life journalist. The film depicted the search for the identity of the culprit behind the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, including how the reporter, Kathy Scruggs, helped uncover the truth. In the film, Scruggs, who has since died, was portrayed by Olivia Wilde  as a woman who traded sex for news tips. a detail that newspaper executives said  "veers from reality. RICHARD JEWELL' HAS SERIOUS INACCURACIES, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION EDITOR SAYS The newspaper sent a letter to Warner Bros., director Clint Eastwood and screenwriter Billy Ray, outlining its demands. "We hereby demand that you immediately issue a statement publicly acknowledging that some events were imagined for dramatic purposes and artistic license and dramatization were used in the films portrayal of events and characters, the letter read. "We further demand that you add a prominent disclaimer to the film to that effect. Journal-Constitution editor Kevin G. Riley told Variety: I think this letter makes it clear how seriously we take the misrepresentation of our reporters actions and of the actions of the newspaper during that time. We have been clear about how disturbed we are in the films use of a Hollywood trope about reporters. and how it misrepresents how seriously journalists concern themselves with reporting accurately and ethically. Additionally, the paper published a piece headlined " The Ballad of Kathy Scruggs " in November, which featured testimonies to the portrayal's falsehood from people who knew Scruggs personally. Olivia Wilde portrays the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter in "Richard Jewell. Kevin Winter/Getty Images, File) 2020 GOLDEN GLOBE'S BIGGEST SNUBS AND SURPRISES In the article, friends called her "the real deal. and said that the film's portrayal was "complete horses- t" and "just not true. The letter also claimed that the paper's involvement in the exoneration of suspect Richard Jewell was not depicted correctly. "The film literally makes things up and adds to misunderstandings about how serious news organizations work. Riley told Variety. "It's ironic that the film commits the same sins that it accuses the media of committing. In a statement to Fox News, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. said that "the film is based on a wide range of highly credible source material. " Paul Walter Hauser stars as Richard Jewell, a security guard investigated in connection with the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in 1996. "There is no disputing that Richard Jewell was an innocent man whose reputation and life were shredded by a miscarriage of justice. the statement continued. "It is unfortunate and the ultimate irony that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, having been a part of the rush to judgment of Richard Jewell, is now trying to malign our filmmakers and cast. 'Richard Jewell' focuses on the real victim, seeks to tell his story, confirm his innocence and restore his name.  The (Journal-Constitution's) claims are baseless and we will vigorously defend against them. Additionally, the spokesperson pointed out that a disclaimer will be visible at the end of the film, as is standard for fact-based stories, reading: The film is based on actual historical events. Dialogue and certain events and characters contained in the film were created for the purposes of dramatization. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Kathy Bates on Monday  earned a Golden Globe nomination for her work in the film, which hits theaters on Friday. Reps for the Journal-Constitution, Ray and Wilde did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.

Richard jewell movie download. Imdb: 7. 7 Runtime: 132 Theater date December 13, 2019 Theater gross 22. 2 mil Genre(s) Drama Movie Homepage Trailer Overview Richard Jewell wasn't someone who people might think of as a hero. He was an average American security guard and a loner. Yet, in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympics, Jewell showed that he had what it took to save lives after he discovered three pipe bombs in a backpack. He immediately contacted police and helped evacuate people out of the area just before the device went off. Everyone praised Jewell for his efforts until the FBI and law enforcement compared his profile in a stereotyped fashion to the profiles of common domestic terrorists and included his name with that of other suspects in a release to the media. From there and for the next 88 days, Jewell's life took a horrible turn...

Anyone who was here please get ahold of me was wanting to ask some things comment on my comment please. Synopsis “There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes. ” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBIs number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his clients name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

January 13th, 2020 The Oscar nominations were announced on Monday, and the results were. well, there were some puzzling results. Joker led the way with eleven nominations. A film with 69% positive reviews earned the most nominations. Its not the worst-reviewed movie to earn a Best Picture Nomination—after all, Bohemian Rhapsody was nominated just last year. However, this film is arguably the worst-reviewed movie to ever earn the most nominations in a single year. More... December 17th, 2019 As expected, Jumanji: The Next Level dominated the competition over the weekend. Fortunately, it did so with a lot more than anticipated, earning 59. 25 million. This is more than the rest of the top ten combined. Unfortunately, this happened in part due to the disastrous openings of Black Christmas and Richard Jewell. The overall box office rose dramatically from last weekend earning 31% more at 117 million. More importantly, this was 1. 6% higher than the same weekend last year. Granted, thats a tiny margin, but any win is worth celebrating at this point. Year-to-date, 2019 is still well behind 2018s pace down 5. 7% or 620 million at 10. 31 billion to 10. 93 billion. That said, if we can chip away at that deficit, then 2019 can at least end on a positive note and save face. December 15th, 2019 Jumanji: The Next Level is not only beating predictions, but is also topped projections based on Friday s estimates. The films weekend estimate is 60. 1 million, which is easily more than the rest of the top ten combined. It is also 66% higher than the Welcome to the Jungle s opening weekend, although that film had a Wednesday opening, so it isnt a fair comparison. Internationally, the film is nearly as impressive, earning 85. 7 million on 39, 900 screens in 52 markets for totals of 152. 5 million internationally and 212. 6 million worldwide. This includes a monster opening in the U. K., where it earned 12. 6 million over the five-day weekend, including previews. This is 32% ahead of the previous installment in the franchise. Overall, the new film is 33% ahead of Welcome to the Jungle s performance in the same group of new markets. If you look at is box office so far, add in its solid reviews and the Christmas break and we are looking at a 1 billion worldwide run. Sony had a really bad three-year streak a few years ago, but this is the second year in a row where they have been back in form. December 14th, 2019 Jumanji: The Next Level got off to a great start on Friday, earning 19. 4 million. Sony is projecting just over 50 million for the weekend after this start, which is well above our 42-million prediction, and in fact on the very high end of range of everyones predictions. Furthermore, the films reviews remain solid, and, while it doesnt have a published CinemaScore yet, its word-of-mouth does seem like an asset going forward. Granted, it does have intense competition next weekend, but I have no doubt that Sony is already working on a third installment of the Jumanji reboot. December 13th, 2019 Jumanji: The Next Level earned 4. 7 million during its Thursday previews. Welcome to the Jungle was a Wednesday opening, and there were no previews we can compare against. Meanwhile, last year s big release, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, was a kids movie, so we cant compare its 3. 5 million in previews either. This means we are in bit of a waiting period for more hard data, but with overall positive reviews, Im cautiously optimistic. December 12th, 2019 Jumanji: The Next Level will have no trouble earning first place and could earn more than Frozen II, Black Christmas, and Richard Jewell will earn combined. The real question is whether or not the overall box office will keep pace with the same weekend last year when Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse debuted with 35. 36 million. I really think Jumanji will top that figure while this year will also have marginally better depth helping 2019 earn a much needed win in the year-over-year competition. December 11th, 2019 The Golden Globes nominations are the second major Awards Season set to come out. It is still very early in the year and the predictive value of the Golden Globes is a little suspect, but there are still some things to learn here. (This is especially true on the TV end, as theres talk about how strange the nominations are this year. Marriage Story led the way with six nominations, just ahead of The Irishman and Once Upon a Time. in Hollywood, both of which picked up five nods. December 1st, 2019 Frozen II wasnt the only box office hit to debut in November, but it was by far the largest. It helped save November and kept 2019 from turning completely sour at the last minute. As for December, we have several potential 100 million hits, plus a couple of monster hits. There are some who think Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be the biggest domestic hit released in 2019, but most think it will have to settle for second place. Jumanji: The Next Level should also be a monster hit, even if it doesnt come really close to its predecessor. As for last December, Aquaman was the undisputed champion, earning almost as much as the next two films combined. Jumanji could top Aquaman at the box office, while we could also have more 100 million films than we had last year. Add in Star Wars and the year should end on a really positive note, making up for the extended slumps we had to deal with through a lot of the year. 2019 wont be able to close the gap entirely, but it will do enough that we will be able to celebrate.
