Rock star Courtney Love had hired attorney Rhonda Holmes to investigate claims that certain persons had defrauded her and her da

ughter. She was in frequent contact with the lawyer and had anticipated that a lawsuit against the alleged perpetrators of the fraud was about to be filed when the lawyer suddenly stopped communicating with her. After having no contact with her lawyer for over a year, Love tweeted two wanna-be reporters," I was [expletive deleted] devastated when Rhonda J. Holmes, Esquire, of San Diego was bought off." She thought the tweet was private, but 6 minutes later, when she realized it was public, she deleted it. Homes sued her for slander per se. The jury agreed that the tweet was defamatory because people could reasonably interpret it as meaning that Holmes had been bribed, but it found in favor of the defendant because Love is a public figure and there was no evidence that Love knew the statement was false or had serious doubts about its truth. How do you think the Appellate Court ruled on appeal?

Answer and explanation:

After carefully reading these lines above and doing some deep research on the present case of study, I personally believe it is fair to conclude that the appellate court ruled on appeal the following way:

Holmes appealed. However, the appeallate court decided to confirm the jury's verdict. The jury rejected Holmes's arguments that the words used by the celebrity might have wanted to imply a bribe. If the suited statement was meant to be a false claim of bribery, then the situation would have constituted an act of true malice as a matter of law and as required by public figures claiming defamation.

How does the United States meet its scarcity of refined petroleum products? What other approaches could it use?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Numerous statistics indicate positive trends in the midstream and downstream oil markets, led by the domestic petroleum refining industry [1]. Domestic capacity has expanded, and there is a robust product-import market. Increased refining efficiencies have moderated crude-oil price rises since the 1970s. Products have been reformulated to improve environmental performance.

Higher refining margins in recent years have led to planned capacity additions, domestically and internationally. Few if any new refineries are likely to be built in the United States, however. This is because (among other factors) the financial disadvantage of building from scratch versus incrementally expanding existing capacity, the issue of permits aside. In all, the price- and profit-driven market process is ably at work, promising to bring the issue of pricing petroleum products back again to the issue of the globally-set price of crude oil.

What effects could a lack of voter participation have?
Mrrafil [7]

Still, low turnouts can lead to unequal representation among various parts of the population. In developed countries, non-voters tend to be concentrated in particular demographic and socioeconomic groups, especially the young and the poor.
