Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

Re: Slander and Libel

First, I doubt it would even be broadcast, because while you may be able to establish the truth, the radio station could not. Truth is a defense to defamation claims, but it's a question of proof. The fact that a government agency says it is not proof, and may not even be admissible in evidence (unless it's a court judgment). In any event, you could certainly be sued and have to incur the cost of defense, even if you are confident of winning.
