Prof. Kirtley Quoted on Shirley Sherrod's Plans to Sue Andrew Breitbart
Professor Jane Kirtley was quoted in "Mood lighting" by Patrick Thornton on the MinnLawyer Blog, regarding former U.S. Agriculture Department Shirley Sherrod's announced intention to sue Andrew Breitbart for posting excerpts from one of her speeches on his web site, which led to her firing. Prof. Kirtley suggested that Sherrod may sue under a false light theory, arguing that "Because of the truncated nature of the video, it depicted her in a way that was inaccurate."
