Good grief! If conspiracy theories become fodder for lawsuits the Kennedys can count on mega bucks. Hell's bells, the Trumps can have a blast with all the media too!
You people don't give a shit how much pain you cause innocent people. Despicable.
Thought control now over conspiracy theories?
Why how fascist of you!!!!! Let's get right to it. Seth was the victim. He was a political operative. He was murdered along with two other D's in one month.
No answers = conspiracy theories. Happens all the time. Sorry for their loss but until you progressive whack jobs manage to legislate thought control people will speculate.
It's not against the law.
The parents will win the lawsuit and that will punish so called journalists for publishing lies. Lies that stupid people like you believe; you are the perfect example of the dumbing down of the American psyche.
On what basis? Libel for news organizations has the highest standard for winning against them. Remember the movie Absence of Malice? It is perfectly legal for a reporter to state something he or she believes to be true. Even if it later turns out to be false. So long as the information is believed to be true, or reasonable, at the time of the publication, it’s perfectly legal. That’s the basis of the whole freedom of the press thing. You might have had it covered in Civics class.
To win the lawsuit, the family would have to prove that the people reporting knew the information was false. Good luck with that. Remember Richard Jewell, the rent a cop who saw the suspicious backpack and saved lives during the Olympic Park Bombing? Well the medial listed him as the primary suspect for months, and after he was cleared, which took the FBI months, Jewell sued the news organizations that had reported on the story. All but one settled, the one was the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The newspaper won based upon the fact that the information was substantively true at the time it was published.
FindLaw's Court of Appeals of Georgia case and opinions.
So if the reporter and pundits believe it is true, they can’t be found to have committed libel. It caused us pain is not enough. Otherwise the family of Jon Benet Ramsey, remember her, would have made enough money off of television and newspapers to buy one of the Caribbean Nations by now.
