Here you go Kent, 'Qualified Privilege.'

Definition:
Privilege is a special legal right or immunity granted to a person or persons. Qualified privilege is an immunity from lawsuit, usually a lawsuit for defamation, for acts committed in the performance of a legal or moral duty and acts properly exercised and free from malice. If malice can be shown, qualified privilege is not a protection against defamation.
An example of qualified privilege is the immunity from defamation for statements made in the course of an employer's duties. Another is the immunity of the press from defamation charges for statement made in good faith, unless it can be proven that they were made with malice.
Qualified privilege should not be confused withabsolute privilege, which protects the person from lawsuit no matter how wrong the action might be and even if the action is committed with malice or an improper motive.
Anybody suspect that Kent was acting with a 'legal or moral duty' when he was defaming Karam, Reed, various witnesses and others? Maybe the poor deluded chap thinks that stalking a jury, spreading propaganda, stalking and outing people is noble and near 'godliness' in terms of morality and the Law.
Though even a sceptic might have to admit that if Kent was turning his 'divinity' and all seeing eye to the subject of insanity, out and out nuttiness, in fact total whacko, in judging a similarly afflicted person he would have all the qualities to 'peer review' with 'qualified privilege a fellow or fellowette of a nature and disposition just like his own. His dear mate Purkiss, cabbage scribbler from Coromandel, could be equally entitled to offer a 'qualified privileged' view of certain nutters who are in abundance in the various hate-sites, spitting and snivelling by turn as they rub themselves or stick needles and pins into hand sewn dolls.
But alas, unfortunately and nevertheless, old Kenty baby and slick Vic the toilet cleaner and loiterer, have no 'immunity from defamation' based on a 'legal or moral' right.
Try another one fellas.

  2. I've heard he might take a last desperate attempt to avoid the trial taking place - threaten to sing! What a dastardly trick, people will run for miles to escape.

  3. I feel sorry for him. So sorry that I'm prepared to put in the 2 cent pieces I saved when the currency changed. All three of them.
