Dead people can't be defamed. (Attorney.) And yes, the law sucks a lot of times.

They're talking about Fortnite I don't need to be homeless because defamed "chaotic in the best way" is bipolar. Chaos can't be good only those with too much money somehow would think lazing around in chaos is fun.🚨

Family can't sue. Only the individual defamed has standing and under US law, the dead can't be defamed.

He teaches consistency and we have to be confident to show them they don't have to protect us

Think whatever you want about the defamed man, Cesar, his techniques work for those who use them....not for those who don't and think they know better but don't do better for their pups

The dead cannot be defamed and the federal government and federal government officials cannot be sued for defamation due to sovereign immunity and Westfall.

Is it vile? Yes.
Can a defamation suit be filed? No. (Well, it can, but it will be dismissed immediately.)

And except for perhaps in RI, the dead can't be defamed as a matter of law.

Yeah, I get it. I followed the Sandy Hook lawsuits and even watched live streams of the trials. Totally aware that a jury didn't find him guilty because it was a default judgement. Also aware that it was the parents of the children and others he defamed. Was kind of thinking that they're probably...

She can present not a shred of evidence for her lie. And now she's not only defamed Renee Good, but her wife, children and dog are targets of MAGAt violence. Christianist Karoline Leavitt is a LIAR PROTECTING A PEDOFILE.

And note that the defamation suit against Jones wasn't based on the statements that Jones made against the dead children or that he defamed such children. Under the law, defamation against the dead is not legally actionable.

Jones was alleged to have defamed the parents themselves.

He was held liable for defamation due to a default judgement because he refused to follow court discovery issues.

Note that the no jury actually held that he defamed the parents.

I'm not saying that he didn't but it's not true that he was found guilty (or liable) for defaming them.

I learned about her through the appearance of her character in SELMA, looking her up after I saw her fate described in the end titles. The extent to which Hoover allowed her to be defamed after death rather than risk any culpability for the FBI is instructive.

That was indeed one angle from which the Mamdani general election campaign was defamed!

The dead can't be defamed defiant and most admin officials are immune to defamation lawsuits.

You can't sue for defamation on behalf of someone and the dead cannot be defamed.

TIL: when BadEmp tried to sue someone for defamation, their lawyer basically responded BadEmps
reputation was so bad it couldn’t be defamed, with a list of examples. Upon receiving it, BadEmps lawyer dropped him

Anyone defamed on Facebook is defamed by Meta, and Meta should pay. Any expression of hatred on TikTok is published by TikTok.

Ah. Since he's a great 1st Amendment lawyer who knows a lot about defamation and anti-SLAPP law, I figured that he would be delighted by what looks like a FAFO defamation case that ended with the 'defamed' party not only losing their suit, but also getting investigated, convicted, and executed.

Anything that has a chance to change the status quo is defamed, villainized, etc. This is when adults began to learn that their indulgences and abuse affected these children into adulthood. It’s a colossal study of how little society is concerned with mental health.

hi lucky, unfortunately and very much due to Trump there is something that separates them that makes her unable to ever win a defamation suit and that is that the dead cannot be defamed.

Anyone who's saying that is being as ridiculous as the Right was when they acted like Charlie Kirk was being defamed by people being truthful about the sort of person he was in life.

It’s still insane to me our president defamed an entire ethnic community and everyone just rolled their eyes about it and moved on to his next horrible statement.
Somali aunties were giving out samosas to the anti ICE protesters in Minneapolis.
