(December 4, 2008)--The father of one of three 8-year-old boys who were killed 15 years ago in West Memphis, Ark. is suing Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines and other band members for defamation.

Maines spoke out for three people convicted of the slayings and alleged the stepfather was instead involved in the killings.

Terry Hobbs, who was the stepfather of Steve Branch, who was killed 1993 with Christopher Byers and Michael Moore, filed a suit in Pulaski County Circuit Court on Nov. 25 that names all three members of the Dixie Chicks, but focuses on Maines, identified by her married name of Natalie Pasdar.

The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages.

Hobbs claims he suffered loss of income, injury to his reputation and emotional distress.
