G.D. v. Bernard Kenny and The Hudson County Democratic Organization, Inc. (A-85-09)
Defendants in this case were entitled to assert truth as a defense to the defamation and other related tort actions, even though G.D.’s conviction was subject to an expungement order. In addition, G.D. failed to establish that the flyers were not substantially accurate. Moreover, G.D. had no reasonable expectation of privacy that information so long in the public domain before the entry of the expungement order would be erased from the public’s mind or from papers already widely disseminated.
