Her defense argues her statements — made to investigators, in court, to the press, and even on a podcast — were protected legal testimony, not defamation, especially since she was acquitted of murder. The court will soon decide whether her words were shielded by Massachusetts law — all while her other lawsuits, including those from the O’Keefe family and claims of a cover-up, continue to simmer. This isn’t the end — it’s just another twist in a saga that refuses to fade. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
