KAREN READ V. EVERYONE - Part 4
from Gavel and Gossip · host Leslie and Kristan
Join us as we continue to follow Karen Read's civil case and break down the initial responses from the police officers and house defendants to Karen Read’s complaint in federal coourt alleging conspiracy and malicious prosecution. We discuss why many of her claims may face an uphill battle—particularly because the law generally avoids punishing witnesses for speaking with law enforcement—and the ultimate question at the heart of the case: can witnesses be held liable for what they told police if it was a lie, or does the First Amendment fully protect them?We also cover the Anti-SLAPP motion brought by the house defendants, in which they argue that Read’s claims must be dismissed because they infringe on their First Amendment rights. According to them, they cannot be sued simply for speaking to law enforcement. We explain why this argument could pose a significant challenge for Karen Read moving forward.The information provided in this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
