Ok…
How much?
Darren Wilson is a public figure as well, albeit an involuntary one.
I recall your claim that the word “classified” does not appear in any law. I think I’ll seek legal opinions elsewhere.
By all means, flounce out. It wont change anything.
I’ll take your bet, by the way. Or will you welch on that as well?
He is also correct about Wilson being a public figure. Practically a textbook example.
Perhaps. I believe it can be shown that both Warren and Harris knew the killing of Brown was not a murder.
as well? As well as what?
That’s not the burden of proof required.
Actual Malice is what is required to prove.
I remember that as well. He was incorrect on that. And obstinate about it.
Just your general tendency to try to change the subject whenever you’re backed into a corner. It screams “welcher”.

More cases are thrown out by judges than ever make it to a jury trial.
By a factor of ten, at least.
I’m not wrong. You even highlighted it for me.
So not all the time.
Malice means knowing the falsity of the statement ot acting with reckless disregard of the truth.
That is exactly what I said that you denied.
My original post
The defamation must be done with malice. They must know the accusation is false or show reckless disregard for the truth.
