Court of Appeals of South Carolina May 1, 2013, Appellate Case No. 2011-183186; No. 5120 (Castine v. Castine)

LOCKEMY, J.

In this defamation case, David Castine appeals the circuit court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Frances Castine. He argues he presented sufficient evidence of the truth of the allegedly defamatory statements to withstand summary judgment. Furthermore, he contends the circuit court erred in finding his communications as a citizen regarding a public employee were not privileged.
