I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but I don’t think you can successfully sue someone for slander or libel if it’s against a dead person. Now the ones that have done against Erika, the kids, and other TPUSA staff, go for it, but when someone dies you can say whatever the frick you want about them.


I would argue the estate can sue, it being a media company who's value is partially based in its reputation. Thats what I, not a lawyer, would argue.

I don’t know if you are correct on this, but I will assume you are, so I will just note that some of the hate from these outlets started before he was declared dead.

MSNBC is about to be shut down. CNN, you are on notice. CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times: prepare to increase your legal budget.
