Sue Scheff – Victorious Again – Confirming Free Speech Will Not Condone Internet Defamation


Remember Blogging is fun, free speech will always be here, but it will not condone defamation.

Back in September 2006, I was awarded over $11.3M jury verdict for damages. They were defamatory and false statements about my organization, myself and my family posted online.

I fought back, and won – the truth prevailed! The defendant attempted to have the judgment set aside – although she was firmly denied in July 2007, she filed an appeal.

It is official – she loses again in the appellate court, and the $11.3M judgment stands firm!
Free speech is still in tact, but it will not condone defamation.

Remember, think before your post – sometimes keystrokes can be costly!
