Judge throws out Daly’s libel suit against paper


JACKSONVILLE (Florida): John Daly claimed a Florida newspaper libelled him in a column suggesting he failed “the scoundrel sniff test,” but a judge disagreed.

Duval County Circuit Judge Hugh Carithers dismissed Daly’s libel lawsuit on Monday and granted the Florida Times-Union’s request for summary judgment. He ruled that former columnist Mike Freeman’s statements were either true or constitutionally protected opinion.
