Peterson v. Grisham, 2010 WL 337686 (2/1/10) (Published) - The 10th affirms the dismissal of a law suit by a district attorney, a police officer and a criminologist against publishers and authors, including the famous John Grisham, who detailed the DNA exoneration of two defendants convicted of rape and murder in Oklahoma. The evidence consisted of hair samples and one of the defendants' statements that he had dreamed that he had committed the murder. Oklahoma law did not allow recovery for statements regarding public officials unless the statements alleged a crime. The defendants did not allege the plaintiffs committed any crimes.
