Lawyers will make money

I'm not a Facebooker, but some recent posts have been brought to my attention.  Folks, it's been a long time since I had Business Law in college, but I'm remembering something.  One of the requirements for a slander or libel suit, is Publication.  In my opinion, Facebook would fill the legal requirement  of "Publication" regarding any legal action.  I have received one report that alleges that Amtex, the proposed developer of the Chiesa Road site contributed to a mayoral campaign.  That is not true.  I was present when the subject contribution was discussed.  The subject  campaign contribution was made by a Rowlett resident, and fully legal.  To the best of my knowledge, no reimbursement was ever made by Amtex.   I believe the contribution was made for reasons that any Rowlett citizen may have for what  they deem appropriate.   It was helping who they thought would be the best candidate........whether you agree or not.

If some allegations are being made and there is no proof, and it is being published on Facebook, I think the exposure to a libel or slander suit is very real.  This has turned into a feeding frenzy and if the falsehoods continue, someone is going to get sued....and the lawyers win again.
