After Online Defamation Suit, Dismissal of Malicious Prosecution Claim Upheld

Christoph writes "I'm the Slashdot user who was sued for defamation (and six other claims) by a corporation over negative statements on my website. I prevailed (pro-se) in 2008. The court found the other side forged evidence and lied. In 2009, I sued the other party's lawyers for malicious prosecution/abuse of process (the corporation itself is dissolved/broke). One defendant had stated in writing their client was lying, but the trial court dismissed my claim for lack of evidence. I appealed, and this Tuesday the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal, completely ignoring the defendant's written admission (and other evidence). They further found it was not an abuse of process to sue to 'stop the publication of negative information and opinion.'"

    The poser of posers calls others a hypocrite with one of his 150+ accounts? If you had any self-respect, wait what am I thinking? You are pathetic.

    I'm MichaelKristopeit and I approve this post.

    What the hell were you charged with that your legal bills totaled up to six figures?
    he would have likely told you if it was meant to be any of your business. to be blunt, perhaps something serious. not an 8000 issue, in other words. (mea culpa, assumption)

    i'd recommend you charge up to someone with a "what criminal charge were you charged with?@!" and see whay that gets ya in Real Life. Results may vary.

    what did you get charged with anyway, and when? felonious ass-hattery on both sides of your mothers basement door?

    Don't trash the whole profession just because you hired a lousy legal team.
    he didn't.

    innocent until proven guilty takes on non subtle shades of new meaning when the six figures (yeah, i was there once. no, its not your fucking business why exactly.) pile up in the middle of that statement.

    as a courtesy to your need to be authoritative on something, a spelling error has been inserted for you to find and correct, have a nice day son.

    heh heh, your mother...
