False light

Putting someone on the stand, putting them under oath, and then having them testify, "Yeah, it's 'cause of the posts about the ED, which is why I didn't do this multi-million dollar business deal." That's a little harder.

Okay, then there's false light.

All the claims will hinge on statements that accuse him of murder.
