Go ahead and write as though he is guilty -- you are opening yourself up to a libel case.

Oh, goody, TommyDale, you got it right: it's libel when it's written, slander when it's spoken. And I'd love a lawsuit. Depositions can be so much fun.

Would you please stop acting as though you know something about defamation cases? It is tremendously irritating to those of us who do. Yes, TommyDale, the term is "defamation." Not "libel." Not "slander." It's all "defamation" now, and failing to use the word "alleged" here does not rise to the level of defamation.

Anything else you need to know about it this morning?
