Once again, the press gets a free pass on criminal behavior.

Dismissed with Prejudice does mean can’t be filed as is again. Appeal available though. And filed under different legal theory may be possible.

Any attorney doing that would likely get sanctioned. An appeal may be possible, but it can’t be refiled.

There is certainly a good argument that if the article didn’t mention the plaintiff’s name there is no defamation. I wonder if they published his picture, though. That would make a big difference. Unless they published his picture this does not get overturned on appeal even in Kentucky.

I think the judge said it was “freedom of speech.”

In that case, the WaPo could call you a murderer, if it is their opinion, and that is perfectly legal???

Where do these judges store their brains and common sense.

He's a likely-senile 83-year-old Peanut Boy "judge".

Only craps his robes twice a week, so he's got a few years on the bench left.

No, he means Open Range.

"You the one who said it was OK to doxx our friend?"

"Yeah, and I enjoyed it, while I was sitting in my soiled adult diapers."

Bad day for the rule of law.

Yeah, it was a senile Peanut Boy "judge" - 83-year-old Billy "Grampa Punkboy" Bertelsman.

Prolly diddles his own grandchildren in his dementia.
