Defense expected to continue in sportscaster's case

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The defense is expected to continue to present its case in the civil trial involving Erin Andrews and raise doubts about whether two hotel companies should share the blame after a stalker secretly shot nude videos of the sportscaster.

Andrews has filed a $75 million lawsuit against the stalker and the owner and operator of the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt.

Lawyers for the companies have said that what was done to Andrews is terrible, but the stalker is to blame. They have tried to make the case that the companies could not have reasonably foreseen that someone would be able to alter a peephole on a door, and then shoot video of a guest inside the room.

The nude video shot at the hotel was later put on the Internet.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — J. Cole, Tool and Stevie Nicks will headline this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is set to return after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and weather. 

The lineup for the June 16-19 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was released Tuesday and also includes The Chicks, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, 21 Savage, Machine Gun Kelly, Roddy Ricch, Flume and Illenium. 

Last year's festival was set to go on with extra COVID-19 precautions in place for fans, but heavy rains from Hurricane Ida left the grounds unsafe for driving or camping. The festival takes place on a former farm in rural Tennessee about an hour southeast of Nashville. Tickets go on sale Thursday. 

The 2020 festival was postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Other artists on the lineup include Bleachers, Lord Huron, Disclosure, The War on Drugs, Billy Strings, Porter Robinson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Herbie Hancock.
