Woman’s suit against Jews for Jesus gets another chance
|
A Delray Beach woman whose lawsuit against the Jews for Jesus group was thrown out last December will get another chance to make her case, an appeals court decided today.
Edith Rapp sued Jews for Jesus, a California-based group that aims to convert Jews to Christianity, after her stepson, Bruce Rapp, published in an Internet newsletter what she said was a made-up account of her conversion to the organization.
A Circuit Court judge dismissed Rapp’s lawsuit last year, but the Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed part of that ruling Wednesday, citing statewide ambiguity around a portion of the lawsuit dealing with false light invasion of privacy claims.
“This is great news for us,” said Rapp’s attorney, Barry Silver.
Attorneys with the Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit representing Jews for Jesus, were “strongly” considering appealing to the Florida Supreme Court, chief counsel Erik Stanley said.
“We are considering our options about the remaining claims that the court has let stand,” Stanley said.
