Here is a very interesting transcript of a recent court hearing involving a hospital in Virginia. We have previously blogged about this case and have received a letter as well asking us to remove the blog post.

Lest there be no mistake about what actually happened, including the fact that the hospital’s attorney has actually filed a bar complaint about the attorney blogger he is litigating against, we have obtained the transcript of the hearing.

The judge said “no” to the hospital’s attempt to have the attorney remove the blog post. Read this interesting transcript about an attorney’s right to truthfully blog about a case and arrive at your own decision.
