It is libel against that family, because they are not scamming dollars online: to make that statement legally you would have to prove they were.
I'm not a lawyer but this is basic law here in America. People's opinions if reasonable and not malicious are not defamation. She's been convicted of a crime and with as many online scams from "Send us your banking information" to "if you give me $25,000 for expenses we can access this $7.3 million tied up in this bank in another country" to people milking the government for charity after national disasters to people robbing charities it is plausible that may be a possibility.

Under Steve's definiton of libel/slander, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Conan O'Brian are all guilty as hell after their opening monologues. Do you know who they are SteveV (asking that based on your flag). While you're at it, go check out What would Tyler Durden Do dot com and see what he says about celebrities and isn't being sued left and right. All the 9/11 consipracy believers and people who write about it would be guilty of libel or slander since there is nothing proving this as fact yet they love to go on and on about it.

Again, I'm not a lawyer but I'm sure the forum isn't being used to spread libel or exposing itself to risk. Maybe I'll post a video on youtube and a website for donation for the save canncom from the Cobry libel lawsuits.

All I am doing is telling you the truth. You seem to be dodging it.
Oh, stop with the big huge pity party you're having about being attacked and abused. I've been watching this thread as well as other mods and while this is obviously a hot button topic, everyone has been relatively civil. No one is dodging the truth either; they are facing it head on.
