Jason
Creech who is an attorney employed by the firm Smith & Cockett
located in Mountain City,TN , is going to court to try to shut down a
website , called DatelineCNN.com
. This website features descriptive articles on breaking news and the
latest headlines . Attorney Creech has filed a lawsuit against a
Florida man , in which Attorney Creech claims was posted by Scott
Conover for the further purpose of libeling and harming his client's
reputation as stated in his complaint. Attorney Creech claiming that
Scott Conover had posted a story about a stalker on the internet on
DatelineCNN.com who was stalking his family , in which was harming his
clients reputation. The problem is Conover did not own the website.
Obviously Jason Creech has never heard of the first amendment . The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. See U.S. Const. amend. I.
Freedom
of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech,
press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of
grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief. The
Supreme Court interprets the extent of the protection afforded to these
rights. Attorney Creech should be made aware that all the information
within the story is public record and can be accessed by anyone.
Including the copy of the restraining order that Conover had placed
against the alleged stalker . Does Attorney Creech really think that he
can dictate what can be on the world wide web or what is to be
published or what is not to be ? What pisses me off the most is
attorney Creech stating that his clients reputation is at stake , How about the reputation of the small child and woman that this alleged stalker had allegedly victimized? I am tired of attorneys like this , That have absolute no remorse or compassion for the real victims in these cases.
Reading a copy of the restraining order that was filed in the
courthouse in Mountain City,TN , and following the different stories
about Conover for the last year , We have seen it gain more and more
publicity over the past 10 months . Counting a total of 200,000
websites , each having over 185,000 views . They state their opinions
also , Will he be going to court to have these shut down too? Where is
our right to freedom of speech ? If Attorney Jason Creech doesn't share
the same opinion as someone else , is he going to have their website
shut down also? Who the hell does this attorney think he is ? Opinion --- Obviously
,if he was any kind of an attorney he wouldn't be practicing law in the
foothills of Mountain City,TN . Reading back on it , this is the same
little town where Scott Conover had taken a picture of a cop on a
federal hwy with a iPhone and was arrested and charged with "unlawful
photography" and several other charges all being cleared, there was a
media storm over it too. It sure looks like they have a vendetta for
Scott Conover. If the sites not his , Conover has a good case against
the attorney for malicious prosecution, if this is a fact.
Update to Trial -
After going to court in Mountain City,TN, the judge simply enlightened
Attorney Jason Creech on the First Amendment of The United States and denied his motion.
He certainly needs to get his facts right, if he doesn't want to get
sued or have a bar complaint filed against him, before he files a
lawsuit against someone who doesn't even own the website.
