Good post. I wrote my appellate brief in law school about defamation of a public figure. Tough standard of proof for sure. After listening to that Mercer Law School Zoom call, I thought the Dean was being very reckless as she approached actual malice. But I found myself thinking "how could Lin Wood prove damages?" And then this happened right on its heels.
I imagine Wood is thinking hard about this. But he has much bigger fish to fry right now. And I suspect he's going to be getting his million bucks back from Mercer University lickity split.
