Criminal libel bill to be heard
On the January 29th edition of The Ross Kaminsky Show, we spoke with State Senator Greg Brophy about his plan to introduce a bill to repeal Colorado’s criminal libel statue, under which certain publications or even signs can result in a criminal charge if a person “blackens the image” of a dead person or “exposes the natural defects” of a living person – even if the statement made is provably true!
Good to his word, Senator Brophy has introduced the bill, now numbered SB102 (or 12-102), which will probably be heard in the State Senate’s Judiciary Committee on the morning of February 14th.
You can keep track of the bill’s progress HERE.
