“Your honor, my client insists that the numerous meetings held with his associates about how to rob the bank, the purchasing of weapons, casing of the location, and recruitment of an individual to serve as the getaway driver were merely exercises in free speech, not in fact a conspiracy to commit robbery…”
I think I’ll go with this part of the definition of rogue. an elephant or other large wild animal driven away or living apart from the herd and having savage or destructivetendencies.
What good does it do to win a defamation suit if the defendant is penniless and continues to defame you? Unless Rudy ends up in jail for his continued public lies I fail to see what other meaningful sanctions a court could impose.
