Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts
slander?
I was falsely charged with a crime.
The charge obviously did not stick
because there was not one shred of
evidence and it was dismissed. Can I
sue the person who charged me with
this crime? It's cost me a
considerable amount of grief and
lawyer fees, not to mention the
charge will technically always be on
my permanent record.
