– I talked to a prominent lawyer about this, and heres what he told me.

– In order to sue successfully for defemation, you have to:

1} Prove you have a celebrity to lose, or some tangible lose of any worth.
2) Prove the statements were innaccurate AND done with malice aforethought.

– If those weren’t hills enough, all the defense would need to do is ask for a summary dismissal on the grounds that whatever possible offense occured, if any, Imus was punished far in excess of the crime when he lost a 40 million dollar job. No sane judge would find against him at that point.

– They dropped it because they would just end up losing, and they can’t mine it for any more race baiting PR. It wasn’t sanity, it was realism.

– Al sharpton isn’t going to be happy about this. One of the ambulances he was chasing has turned up with four flat tires.

The other side of this is that her claim is that Imus implied that she is an unchaste woman, and that’s a lie.

How does one go about defending himself when he’s accused of lying about her being a ho’? Hmmm?
