ABC News is appealing recent New York court decision that may bring a lawsuit against the news group and Diane Sawyer to trial, the New York Post reports. Twenty-year-old Kyle Nelson is suing ABC, Sawyer, her father, her stepmother and three psychologists featured in a “Primetime” piece titled “Step-Families in Crisis,” which includes footage shot in 2002 and 2003 showing Nelson’s father beating her, the Post says. The clips didn’t air until 2006 and Nelson is suing for negligence, the NYP says.
