Can anyone point to a case where someone was convicted of slandering or libeling a dead person?

You can’t libel or slander the dead.

Maybe the legal eagles are looking at any that took place before Kirk’s murder.

If so...

Cool.

A point, but if the victim of the defamation is TPUSA, they’d be the one seeking redress?

It would be funny if Tyler Robinson sued Kimmel for slander.

What difference would that make? The effect of being slandered is just as bad for the widow as it would be for the deceased, should he still be alive.

I’d say Erika would have every right to protect the good name of Charlie.

Slandering Charlie can be aligned with slander his name, ergo his business, wife and children’s name, impacting his business and causing material harm to his survivors.
