John Walsh Sued for Calling Inmate a 'Snitch'

A convicted murderer who was attacked in prison for allegedly being labeled a "snitch" on "America's Most Wanted" has fired off one of the most unbelievable lawsuits we've ever seen -- he's demanding $506 MILLION.



In the lawsuit -- handwritten, but looking like it was typed up on a computer -- Kirell Taylor claims he was stuck in Folsom Prison -- with a razor blade -- after his fellow inmates were told "AMW" host John Walsh, "falsely" called him a "snitch" during a 2004 episode which aired on FOX.

Taylor claims the word "snitch" isn't something that inmates take kindly to -- and now he claims Walsh and Rupert Murdoch, the guy who owns FOX, should fork over a total of $506,000,000 for giving him the title that got him shanked with an "inmate manufactured weapon."

In the suit, filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior Court, Taylor demands that FOX re-air the 2004 episode -- with Walsh personally "recanting the false statements."

He probably doesn't stand a chance in court -- but we'll give him a 'A+' for penmanship.

I only want to say I agree with the many of you that John Walsh in fact did use his son's death to capitalize on. However, he's a product of his own words and comments "SNITCH" Wow John... @ #27 he doesn't eat TWINKIES or SMOKE, so until you get your facts straight, zip it. @ number 30... keep writng and posting. Maybe someone will soon get it. THIS YOUNG MAN IS LOVED!!!

You gotta hand it to the guy. He obviously hand-wrote that with a ruler at the bottom of each line, but his understanding of "legalese" is quite impressive.

John Walsh is a bitter tool that can't accept his son's death, in fact he exploits it and profits off it.
Hope this guy wins some sort of judgement against him.
This self-proclaimed crime fighter is a joke.

"should fork over a total of $506,00,000"

Just what is $506,00,000? Is it play money?

Isn't it ironic that a bunch of criminals are watching America's Most Wanted from prison? Are they looking for their friends or missing their loved ones? And to be called a "Snitch" of all things, that is so rude. Please, that SNITCH has a first name, it's either Rapist, Murderer, Arsonist or Child Molester.

It took 10 comments to realize that the amount was non-existent? I have lost just a bit more respect for the human race.

oh gosh, i didnt mean to say that Andrew Cunanan was the most important killer that they helped catch, what i meant is that FOX had cancelled America's Most Wanted and it seemed to come back on right around the time he was on his killing spree and I truly believe they are what helped him be found.
