Judge dismisses radio personality's libel suit against prosecutor

 

COVINGTON, Ky. ? A judge in northern Kentucky has dismissed a libel suit brought by a Cincinnati radio personality and attorney against a prosecutor.

Deters had sued Sanders claiming the prosecutor libeled him in posts on the micro-blogging site Twitter and the social networking site Facebook in August and September.
