Defamation of character, slander, libel
http://www.exeterpolice.org/press1.htm
All kids from my school, except the bottom one. All of the kids had to throw away their college futures. Very sad story, and pathetic for the cops to brag about. I wonder is that defimation of character, slander, or libel? I always thought it was innocent until proven guilty. Not guilty until proven further guilty. Also doesnt everyone have the right to a fair trial. Thanks.

What are you talking about? The kids were arrested for those things. They are over the age of 18 so it can be posted/reported by anyone as far as I know. It doesn't say they were found guilty. It is simply saying what they were arrested for.

3 of them were not 18, so I don't see how they got away with posting names/charges.
Either way, even though I don't agree with pot prohibition (if that's what they were charged with), they were aware of the consequences.

Re: Defamation of character, slander, libel
if im not mistaken anyone over the age of 16 can be posted up in the paper and such on arrest charges.
and that is neither libel nor slander. first off slander is oral defamation so thats out. libel is written defamation. the only way it could be either of them is if it wasnt true. thats what libel and slander are, flase statements about a person that hurts thier reputation.
the kids are shitbags dealing drugs in high school. who cares. i highly doubt any of the loser were going to college anyways.

Which one is you BTW?
Is it libel if you make MS Paint pictures of a picture you find on the interweb?
