Hill v. Stubson
Wyoming Supreme Court
420 P.3d 732 (2018)
- Written by Salina Kennedy, JD
Facts
Cynthia Hill (plaintiff) was a retired state school superintendent. Timothy Stubson (defendant), a state legislator, commented about Hill during his campaign, including allegations that Hill had committed “many illegal acts” during her time in office that the legislature was aware of but that had not been publicized. Hill sued Stubson for defamation, and the trial court dismissed her complaint. Hill appealed, arguing, among other things, that Stubson’s statements had falsely imputed to Hill (1) misconduct in her trade, profession, office, or occupation and (2) crimes punishable with prison or involving moral turpitude.
