>In a case that could have wide-ranging implications for those trying to hide behind anonymity to smear others via social media, actor James Woods has moved a step closer to a resolution in his $10M defamation suit against a “John Doe” who tweeted out that the false statement that actor was addicted to cocaine. The John Doe has since died and the attorney for the deceased client was ordered by a Superior Court Judge that he must now reveal the name of the individual. Going by the handle ‘Abe List,’ the individual tweeted the comment out last July.
>The order follows a ruling last year by the Court denying the anonymous Tweeter’s anti-SLAPP motion that stated the tweet was just hyperbole and because of that could not be deemed “defamatory.” They also said that the Tweeter had died and now Woods was harrassing the family.
>Woods’ attorney, Michael Weinsten of Lavely & Singer stated today: “This is a significant step forward in our ability to recover the millions in damages caused by John Doe’s cowardly Tweet. It also sends a message to others who believe they can hide behind the anonymity of online social media to falsely accuse public figures of heinous behavior without recourse to themselves.”
>Today’s order requires that defendant’s counsel Kenneth White must disclose his client’s name, and other identifying information, by sworn declaration within the next ten days.

Please; 10 lifetimes is not enough to earn 10M$ asking a guy to go into dept for more time than the average person is alive is just shitty. Demanding reperations from the family of an dead person is making this just tasteless.

What would you call this, guys?
>>97466
Nothing needs to be said. Just like a sunrise, it speaks for itself without need for words.
Hey cut the guy some slack, it's expensive being addicted to cocaine. A cool ten mil would have Jimmy there flying high for quite a while.

Don't make James Woods coke jokes or he'll fucking kill you
>>97114
Title should be renamed: 'Coke head sues dead man and wins'.
>>97114
This just makes James Woods look way worse than a coke head. I would rather be addicted to cocaine than this kind of a jackass.
>>97114
This is so fucking stupid, what if the dead man had used the proper operational security measures? What then? Is James Woods going to go running to the NSA to help him track down the bad ol' meanie making fun of him on Twitter? Poor baby.
>>97114
Any non-US cuckolds here with a twitter account?
Start calling James Woods a junkie old fart and coke head, wait for his response and laugh.

The actual malice standard requires that the plaintiff in a defamation or libel case, if he is a "public figure", prove that the publisher of the statement in question knew that the statement was false or acted in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity.
I thought James woods was a good actperson. Looks like xir's just a dipshit.
Daily reminder that Trump wants Congress to make defamation legislation which codifies what the judge did in Woods's case did into law. The Ghost of Silence Dogood weeps.

But James Woods IS addicted to cocaine. He offered to blow me behind the McDonalds I was working at the time, strung out as hell. He didn't even notice I was a girl.
>>97442
free ice? as in, he'll be able to buy his cocaine forever? Did I see what you did there?
>>100383
It always was? It's much harder to prove you are retarded than to prove that you are smart.
Case and point, you. You're not smart, but I can't prove that you are retarded even though you can't spell.
