Description
The essential conflict to be resolved in this case occurs between the common law individual right to be free from defamation and the right of free speech preserved by both the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and Art. 1, § 20 of the Constitution of the State of Wyoming. Specifically, the Court is called to decide whether to adopt a rule requiring private censorship or deny damages to an individual for defamation. For the reasons which follow we are compelled to reject the requirement of censorship in favor of safeguarding the fundamental right of free speech even though this result forecloses the individual from recourse for defamation.
