Sue Scheff – Victorious Again – Confirming Free Speech Will Not Condone Internet Defamation
by Sue Scheff on Nov 25, 2008
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!
