Domstol i Delaware avvisar Epps förtalsstämning mot Fox News

Svenska

En federal domare i Delaware har avvisat en förtalsstämning som James Ray Epps lämnat in mot Fox News gällande kommentarer gjorda av Tucker Carlson. Domslutet kom på fredagen efter att Epps försökt ändra sin stämningsansökan. Fallet centrerades kring anklagelser om att Carlson framställde Epps som en federal agent provocateur under upploppen den 6 januari.

Den amerikanska distriktsdomaren Jennifer Hall biföll Fox News yrkande om att avvisa den ändrade stämningsansökan. Hon fann att Epps misslyckats med att presentera fakta som visar på faktiskt uppsåt, ett nödvändigt krav för offentliga personer i förtalsmål. Domaren noterade att många av Epps nya påståenden var slutsatser utan stödjande detaljer.
