Subject: Re: Disrespecting the respectable Dude VanWinkle
/ Justin Plazzo, illegal?
You need to check your spelling. Libel != Lible
Death -- Yes, legally, it is no problem to speak ill of the dead. For
example, in James Bamford's The Puzzle Palace, a book about the National
Security Agency, a former government employee is called a Russian spy
even though he was never convicted of anything other than contempt of
court. The family considered a defamation lawsuit, but learned that it
was impossible because the subject was dead. In some cases, a libel suit
filed by a person who dies may be continued, but relatives of a dead
person cannot bring a libel suit.
