  • I’m just a simple country hyper-chicken so don’t take this to court just bec-buck-buck-bc-GAAWK!

    Excuse me.

    … because I said so. Stupidity may be a defense if the standard being applied requires knowledge that the statements in question are likely to cause damage to another. If those statements are true, no problem, that’s a complete defense. If they’re not, the lawyers get to duke it out in court.

    Most often, that won’t come into play though since a lot of states assume that the person making the false statements does so with the requisite guilty state of mind. It’s not universal though which is why the non-stick dick might get away with this too.

    I’m using https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation as a reference, any errors in interpretation are my own.
