Defaming The Dead: A Legal Remedy for Absurd Charges That LBJ Murdered JFK

http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20040312.html

Excerpt from Article

A Clear Legislative Solution Is Needed In This Area

The best solution, however, is the one Lisa Brown urged: State legislatures ought to address the gap in the law regarding the reputations of the dead. Rhode Island has a law to this effect, albeit a very limited one. And many civil law jurisdictions -- Quebec is one example -- allow such actions.

Some may respond that this would "chill" freedom of speech under the First Amendment. No more so, however, than for the living.

Moreover, unlike the living, the dead have lost the power of counterspeech -- the power to respond. The underlying philosophy of the First Amendment is that there must be a open marketplace of ideas, where the truth will emerge from "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" debate. But the dead are not in a very good position to participate.

It is reprehensible to continue to damage a person's REPUTATION by promoting rumor, innuendo, gossip and sensationalism as fact; after a person is deceased and can no longer speak or protect themselves. We are the VOICES behind the Cadeflaw. We will no longer passively accept the disrespectful and cruel assassination of those deceased. Freedom of speech is a right that we all enjoy, but with it comes responsibility and accountability. We each have a duty to be honest, fair and balanced in what we say or write and should be prepared to present proof. Out of the mouths of two or three witnesses LET every word be established; and let those witnesses be credible.
