TL;DR
American Airlines has fired its legal counsel after the firm blamed a 9-year-old girl for using a bathroom with a recording device allegedly placed by a former flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, who is facing charges for filming children. The airline faced backlash for the initial legal response and has since replaced the law firm, stating the defense was not representative of the company.
