AEAE GIVE KUDOS TO JUSTICE DAVID HAMLTON FOR SPEAKING “TRUTH” TO POWER

CHICAGO- President Barack Obama's first judicial nominee, Judge David Hamilton, is already disagreeing with his 7th Circuit colleagues, dissenting in the first case he's heard on the federal appellate bench against a majority opinion written by Judge Richard Posner. Posner last Friday wrote for the majority that the sentence in the fraud case of former lawyer and former Chicago alderman Edward Vrdolyak was a "slap on the wrist" and should be remanded to a new judge.
Federal prosecutors in Chicago had appealed Vrdolyak's sentence for conspiracy to commit fraud by participating in a kickback scheme. . After Vrdolyak pled guilty, Senior U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur in November sentenced him to five years' probation and a $50,000 fee. The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago had sought 41 months' jail time. The 7th Circuit majority reached its decision on the basis of a "cascade of errors and omissions" by the trial judge. Posner wrote that Shadur, who sits in the Northern District of Illinois, erroneously found no loss inflicted on the school. On the contrary, Posner wrote, there was evidence that the school could have received a higher price for the property absent the fraud and that the loss should have been assessed at least as equal to the $1.5 million fee. Hamilton disagreed with the majority on all points except Shadur's error in calculating the loss to the school, noting that $1.5 million was the proper figure to be used. But that was a "harmless error," Hamilton concluded, because Shadur gave a full explanation of why he would have reached the same sentence anyway. "The defendant committed a serious crime, but there were a number of factors that the district court could and did consider in mitigation," Hamilton wrote. "The defendant is 71 years old, had no prior criminal record, and posed little risk of repeat offenses. He had given up his law license. The crime of fraud did not involve violence, and there was no element of public corruption."  AEAE gives kudos to Judge David Hamilton

     To Prove Defamation Case?
    What Do You Have To Prove? There are two things you have to prove to be true in order to win a case of defamation of character in the court of law. First of all, you have to prove without a doubt that what was said or written about you is not true. Once you have proved that the statement is, in fact, false you have to prove that the other person said the false statement with the intent of causing you some form of harm. 
    The Fair Reporting Privilege is a defense to any claim of Defamation 

    The Fair Report Privilege applies to the information contained on this web site.

    “[T]he fair report privilege has two requirements: (1) the report must be of an official proceeding; and (2) the report must be complete and accurate or a fair abridgment of the official proceeding. [Citation.] *** For a publication to be considered a fair abridgment, the report must convey to readers a substantially correct account of the official proceedings. [Citation.] A reporter is not privileged to make additions of his own that would convey a defamatory impression or to indict expressly or by innuendo the veracity or integrity of any of the parties. [Citation.] Finally, it is the accuracy of the summary, not the truth or falsity of the information being summarized, that is the benchmark of the privilege. [Citation.]” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Eubanks, 397 Ill. App. 3d at 749 (citing Solaia Technology, LLC v. Specialty Publishing Co., 221 Ill. 2d 558, 588-90 (2006)). ¶ 30
