Calling someone a criminal is libel per se and his wages for the rest of is working life are the damages, combined with the loss of reputation, the inability to work in his chosen profession (if he can show that), did his kid get hassled at school maybe (probably not, but you don't know)? There are potentially serious damages he could win if he can show that he was defamed.
You seem to be assuming that Postle will fail at that. Of course then there is no damages.
But if he succeeds, he will have convinced a judge or jury that he was seriously defamed, and if they believe that, then there are plenty of damages that he will win.
I don't understand why he's suing if he isn't innocent, it just doesn't make any sense. ALl he is doing is setting himself up to be examined by x number of attorneys. They will catch him in a lie. Cause we all lie. If he's guilty, they'll catch him in enough lies that his case will fall apart.
Surely he understands this.
HEY POSTLE DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?
This lawsuit makes no sense to me.
