While a Memphis judge had awarded activist Pamela Moses $500 in a defamation lawsuit against former county commissioner Terry Roland, a March 25th Court of Appeals ruling reversed that decision, finding Roland not liable for defamation.
It has now been more than 60 days since the judgment was issued by Judge J. Steven Stafford, meaning Moses cannot appeal the judgment to the Tennessee Supreme Court.
"First of all, it shows that I was right from the beginning, it shows that at the end of the day what I said wasn't what she said I said and it's time that justice was served," Roland said. "To be real honest with you, anybody else that holds office, this bears weight on them going forward. If you fix it to where you can't say anything, what's the good of serving?"
