Blogger Sued
A blogger that publishes River Vices has been sued by a Portsmouth, Ohio attorney who claims the blog hurt his practice by referring to him as a "shyster" and a "crooked attorney".
I'm not sure I understand. I thought "lawyer" and "Shyster" were interchangeable terms. Oh well, if not, the "victim" attorney is also on Portsmouth City Council. That should be enough right there to call his reputation into question.
I thought freedom of the press allowed a wide berth when criticizing public office holders but I guess a court full of shysters lawyers will decide the outcome. Wonder how that will work out?
