Does anyone know if the truth about a person can be considered slander. In Il the truth is never slander

Might be concidered slander to the person you're talking about if they don't want the truth to be known.

Jerry,

I"m not a lawyer but but I spent 20 years working in the criminal justice system and have had an interest in the law.

My recollection on this is sort of hazy but a few years back I read of an action wherein a person publicized a truth about another person and there was no reason for the publishing other than to injure the person. The court was having a real problem with it.

So, not trying to change the thrust of your thread but maybe broaden it.

Bob

In some cases, even a lie isn't considered slander. There are certain individuals whose behavior is so scandalous that the courts consider them to be "libel-proof". That is, you can't say anything about them that would damage their reputation. For example, O. J. Simpson would have a hard time suing anyone for slander or libel these days.

Wikipedia has a good article on "defamation"

big problem might be proving the truth. Just because "everyone" knows someone is a crook or liar doesn't legally make him one.

Slander means a FALSE STATMENT spread around about an individual; a false rumor; a story.

HOWEVER, anyone could be going against
ethics... for instance, if someone goes around saying the REAL truth about an individual, that could make that someone a BIG MOUTH!

Truth always wins the favor of many, but being a big mouth about certain truths can get you into trouble!

Slander means the spreading of a false statement about someone. So, if something is true, it can"t be slander.
