They haven’t said anything that can be proven untrue. They have (paid) experts, but experts nonetheless, supporting their interpretation of the evidence. Just as it’s really hard to prove he did it, it’s also really hard for him to prove he didn’t, thanks to the terrible police work.[/quote]

•	The elements (in many jurisdictions) for defamation by implication include:
	1.	Publication to a third party.
	2.	Identification of the plaintiff (the reader reasonably understands the implication is about them).
	3.	A defamatory implication: the “gist or sting” tends to harm reputation.
	4.	Falsity of the implication (even if the literal statements are true).  
	5.	Fault: For private individuals, negligence may suffice; for public figures, actual malice (knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard) is required.  
	•	The arrangement, omission, or juxtaposition of facts can create actionable implication — e.g., truthful statements in isolation may still be defamatory if combined in a way that suggests a false conclusion[/quote]
