About
Find out why readers are calling this the surprise book of the summer, that is "easy to read," "compelling," and "full of engaging stories".
We're told Justice should be blind. We've been taught that "The Truth will set you free." But is that the world in which we find ourselves? Cancel culture, biased narratives, mainstream media, and giant corporations; these are the mindsets and special interests that have ferociously aligned to silence and punish the common citizen. Historically, the Justice System has been the entity to stand in the gap to ensure citizens aren't overpowered. But is that still the case? Through the lens of defamation law, "Dismissed" serves as an examination of how the justice system has been taken over by political maneuvering and American citizens are suffering.
The book delves into high-profile defamation cases, revealing how the impact of traditional and social media on modern defamation law cannot be overstated. As platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram become battlegrounds for public opinion, and everyday people can suddenly be thrust into the spotlight, the lines between personal expression and legal liability blur. "Dismissed" explores how online reputations are made and destroyed in an instant, and how the courts are struggling to keep up with the pace of digital communication.
Furthermore, "Dismissed" addresses the growing concern of judicial bias and the politicization of the bench. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, the book argues that partisan interests and campaign contributions are compromising the integrity of the judiciary. Readers will gain insight into the ways judges and their rulings impact the fabric of American democracy. Todd V. McMurtry is an accomplished trial attorney, and skilled mediator committed to professional excellence. His involvement in nationally recognized defamation cases and his expertise as a mediator for commercial disputes have cemented his reputation as a leading legal authority, frequently collaborating with local counsel nationwide. He has represented prominent public figures in defamation actions, secured retractions for high-profile clients, and achieved significant victories in arbitration and jury trials. His notable successes include defending a national bank against complex allegations, managing multi-million-dollar failures of insurance funds, and winning a medical malpractice jury trial.
