FG 4

[Rudeboyelvis]

Real BigD,

Sorry to inundate you with requests for your legal opinions, but my guess is that by stating your line of work here you might be open to offereing one or two.

Let's say I publicly accused a jockey of race fixing on a internet forum with no basis of fact, only conjecture and wild conspircy theories.

Have I opened myself to a liebel or slander suit by said jockey? What is the difference between libel and slander? Would this be a civil action solely, or could there be criminal implications and possible prosicution at hand as well?

Thanks, your responses are valued and appreciated.
