Summary

We have had a weird week between traveling and Tropical Storm Debby at home, so we decided to switch things up on the True Sunlight feed with a special deep dive episode lead by Sam Berlin. We will be back next week with more shocking developments in the Mica Francis story and we'll start this show with a couple of quick updates on a few of the cases we have been following. This is an exclusive Premium Dive Episode normally reserved for Luna Shark Premium Members but todays premium dive will also be released on the public feed because of how important the topic is. In today’s episode, reporter and producer Sam Berlin sat down with attorney Rebecca Lindahl to discuss the complexities of defamation cases…and what she thinks might happen with Buster’s case. Today's Premium Dive revolves around defamation law, specifically the differences between libel and slander, legal remedies, and the challenges of proving falsity, publication, and damages. Sam and Becky also discussed the ongoing legal battle between Angie and Aaron Solomon, the concept of public figure status in defamation cases, implications for reporters, and the potential for the Streisand effect.
