'I will let the lawsuit speak for itself'

The Lede
Retired NFL star Michael Oher, whose life story was adapted into Oscar-winning Hollywood film "The Blind Side," says the real-life couple who became his guardians tricked him into a conservatorship. The 37-year-old alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy lied about adopting him, and, through the conservatorship, took over his "ability to negotiate for or enter any contract, despite the fact he was over 18 years of age and had no diagnosed physical or psychological disabilities."
