Lawyer Sues Opposing Lawyer For Defamation
from the careful-what-you-say dept
You don't see this one every day. A lawyer is suing the opposing lawyer in a high profile controversial case about a teenaged runaway, claiming that the opposing lawyer defamed him, by saying in a TV interview that he was "unqualified" and "that he has terrorist ties." While the latter clearly could be defamatory (the former might be... but seems more like a statement of opinion, not fact), it does make you wonder if such a lawsuit really is effective in preventing "damage to his reputation." I would think that most people would recognize the statements in context, rather than automatically assuming they were true.

Re: If only...
This may surprise you, but think about it:
Lawyers seek a host and infect him, drain him of resources (usually crippling him or killing him in the process) and, in the end, just leave that host and seek a new one. They also serve no useful purpose, other than reproducing themselves (and crippling/killing hosts).
They have a complex and interesting outer shell, but really not much inside once you take a good look. Also notice that, like viruses, they also don't attack their own kind (although some weird mutations sometimes happen that may cause that).
They also have interesting ways of spreading themselves around. Some viruses are airborne, seeking new hosts through a process called "word-of-mouth", where previous hosts help them spread to new hosts simply by saying good things about them. Others remain dormant until someone enters in contact with them. Physical contact is often not necessary. A phone call could be sufficient.
The only way to really kill the viruses is to kill all potential hosts, or hope someone invents a cure, that generally works by blocking the reproduction mechanism of the viruses. But these so called "cures" have proven ineffective, as the ever growing population of lawyers attests.
