Solemn ( @Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•5 days agoFrom the article it sounds like in an interview they accused the governor of embezzlement, which is an actual crime. I’m not a lawyer or anything close to it, but my understanding is that the (now former) governor could have good grounds to sue for defamation, since he was not convicted of defamation at that time. It’s like why newsrooms can’t call someone a murderer or rapist until they’re convicted.
