Hey CB!
if I send an email to someone with a derrogatory comment or heresay, is this defamation and libel? My friend was told that if she e-mailed me saying that the ex-wife told her the father "took" the children, that is libelous for kidnapping is a criminal act. Can you be prosecuted for slander, defamation and libel in e-mails?
Not really. The fact that she got 2nd runner up shoots that in the foot. Actually you'd have to see the judges score sheets. If she suddenly took a nose dive after her comments maybe. I wouldn't take the case.
