Today is Amy Jacobson's birthday. Apparently, one part of her big lawsuit stemming from the Craig Stebic/swimsuit incident has been settled in her favor. That should make for a very happy birthday celebration. The following comes from Michael Sneed's column in today's Chicago Sun-Times:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bench press . . .

New developments in the Amy Jacobson case: Jacobson, a reporter for WMAQ-Channel 5 who was fired after WBBM-Channel 2 aired footage of her in a bathing suit while pursuing a story, won the first round in a lawsuit Tuesday.

** Explanation: The woman whose home was used to secretly tape Jacobson settled out of court with Jacobson on Tuesday for an undisclosed sum. Jacobson's attorney, Kathleen Zellner, refused to comment on the settlement -- but noted the lawsuit is still going forward against CBS.

** Background: Jacobson filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against CBS-owned WBBM-Channel 2 for airing the tape of her at the home of Craig Stebic, whose estranged wife, Lisa, has been missing since April 2007. The tape of her at Stebic's backyard pool led to her termination.
