The only evidence at the brief trial was Hicks' testimony that he'd been embarrassed by Omar's words and a videotape of the January council meeting where Omar spoke.

"He is acting no different than members of the Klan did years ago," Omar said at the meeting, referring to Hicks. "The only difference is that he and his other buddies have uniforms on now that provide them with legal cover as opposed to the white sheets. ... He's been wanting to shoot someone for a long time. Well, he finally has."

Lumsden called Omar to the witness stand, but Omar cited the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and did not testify.

"We didn't enter any evidence," Strelka said, "because it's my belief we didn't need to."

Another Roanoke officer sued a critic in 1995. In that case, an officer who was accused.

Funny, and here I thought that we had Freedom of Speech. Silly me, and a treasonous court.

There are no certainties in the law racket, but there are a few rules of thumb. When you have a bench trial in a civil case, the best interests of banks, insurance companies and the government will be vigilantly protected. A criminal trial to the bench is usually a slow guilty plea.

Unless he can present facts to support those statements (and he can't, or he would have) how are those words not libelous???

All he would have had to do is preface his statements with the phrase “In my opinion.....” and it wouldn’t have been defamation. Expensive lesson in the law for him.

Someone needs to put up a billboard reminding Grand Wizerd John Quigley that political speech is protected.
