What is it? Defamation is an untrue statement that injures a person's good name and standing. In considering legal action, one must verify whether four indispensable elements are present in the case; among these four is whether the statement was truly defamatory. If what was said was true, it was not defamatory.
There is also something called privilege, covering statements or arguments made during a judicial proceeding, and public accusations made by a legislator or the state governor, etc. ...
I am mentioning this in passing as my voidable spouse and his legal counsels have threatened to sue me for defamation of his good character and name. Well, I am only liable if the information is untrue, and I have yet—nor will I—to engage in telling lies with improper motives. After all, a person is not entitled to a greater reputation than he deserves and the public should know as much as possible about those with whom it deals, if only for its protection.
