LIBEL AND SLANDER occur when a person or entity communicates false information that damages the reputation of another person or entity. Slander occurs when the false and defamatory communication is spoken and heard. Libel occurs when the false and defamatory communication is written and seen. The laws governing libel and slander, which are collectively known as DEFAMATION, are identical.

A plaintiff who wishes to sue an individual or entity for libel or slander has the burden of proving four claims to a court: First, the plaintiff must show that the DEFENDANT communicated a defamatory statement. (THIS WAS DONE) Second, the plaintiff must show that the statement was published or communicated to at least one other person besides the plaintiff. (THIS WAS DONE)Third, the plaintiff must show that the communication was about the plaintiff and that another party receiving the communication could identify the plaintiff as the subject of the defamatory message. (THIS WAS NOT DONE, NO NAMES WERE EVER MENTIONED) Fourth, the plaintiff must show that the communication injured the plaintiff's reputation.(THIS WAS NOT DONE, THE PERSON IN QUESTION, WHICH NAME I WILL NOT MENTION, REPUTATION WAS ALREADY DAMGED BY HAVE THE SAID COMMENTS DONE.)

There are four general defenses to slander and libel. Truth is an absolute defense. The person in question has been blasted on TV, Radio, Podcasts, Webcasts, Websites, Blogs and Newspapers for his foreclosures, overextensions on mortgages, several mortgages on properties that will go into forclosure, the hole just gets bigger and bigger "
