Six members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club have lost a lawsuit against the
producer of the television program America’s Most Wanted.
Judge Ralph W. Nimmons Jr. of Jacksonville, Florida, granted a motion for
summary judgment in favor of Twentieth Century Fox. D. H. Miller, Dennis
Pellegrini, Mike Gershon, David Moore, Robert Smith and Angelo Klementos had
alleged claims of libel, unauthorized publication of name or likeness, invasion
of privacy and negligence.
The case concerned two America’s Most Wanted reports about Harry
Bowman, president of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Bowman had been indicted on
charges of murder, kidnapping and arson. He also had been added to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation's Ten Most Wanted List.
