The insurmountable hurdle Aidan Kearney will face in defending himself in the defamation case is the voluminous information in court filings that exists which contradicts the propaganda Read gave him to publish.
Indeed, and particularly prior to the start of the second trial, nothing is more representative of this than Judge Cannone's ruling on third party culprits.
She found that the information regarding Colin Albert was wholly insufficient and amounted to nothing more than rank speculation.
In regard to Brian Albert and Brian Higgins, she found the information barely sufficient and only allowed it to preserve Read's rights.
One cannot repeatedly use one's platform to broadcast claims a person is a murderer on behalf of a defendant in a pending criminal case when no such evidence other than speculation and gossip exists.
Third party culprit claims should only exist within the four walls of a courtroom.
They should not be used in the public realm by a defendant, her legal team, and activists they ensnare on their behalf to magnify their propaganda in order to pressure the government to drop a case or to taint a jury pool.
Attacking witnesses in a case, smearing their reputations, twisting evidence, and pushing supposition over facts in the media should not and cannot be allowed.
It is not "petitioning the government."
It is a scheme to defraud the public and harm private individuals for profit and personal gain and there is no place for it.
