Henry Heights was rock climbing last month. He slipped and fell, but caught his rope and managed to hold on for 10 minutes, swinging free, until other climbers were able to pull him to safety. A weekly paper, The Star, ran an article including quotations and thoughts attributed to Heights about the incident. Twenty of the article’s 30 paragraphs included quotations and thoughts attributed to Heights, indicating Heights was scared but brave. However, The Star had not interviewed Heights. The reporter included material attributed to Heights to make the story more dramatic. Heights sued The Star for (a) appropriation and (b) false light. Is Jones likely to win? Why or why not? Be clear in analyzing the elements required for each tort as well as if Heights has a good case when applying these facts to the two torts.
