Description

In Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., supra, the United States Supreme Court held, in a defamation suit against a media defendant, that presumed damages were unconstitutional without proof of actual malice. This case presents the issue of whether the Gertz holding should be extended to defamation actions by private plaintiffs against nonmedia defendants. The court of appeals held that Gertz should apply equally in this situation. We disagree.
