2. A Proper Verdict, Sir: Hardly a 'Set-Back For The First Amendment'
Edited on Fri Apr-23-10 03:48 PM by The Magistrate
Describing a person as a wanted criminal to others is on its face defamatory, and if the person so described is not actually a wanted criminal, doing so violates long-standing law, that has co-existed with the First Amendment for as long as that has been in existence. It cannot have taken the judge more than a few moments to render verdict here.
