Writing a letter for malicious reasons that had a very predictable outcome for an apparently innocent man*

You can downplay any action by breaking it down to its foundations and stating it that way.

> very predictable outcome for an apparently innocent man

None of this is obviously accurate. More to the point, no court can adjudicate the "predictable outcome" of a letter or whether the reasons were malicious.

  • They actually can, and have.

    In fact, that’s a fundamental facet of a libel claim.
