Judge dismisses defamation suit against The Chronicle
A judge in Elyria dismisses Chief Assistant County Prosecutor Jonathan E. Rosenbaum’s defamation suit against The Chronicle-Telegram and editor Andy Young. The ruling finds Rosenbaum failed to prove defaming statements and that several columns were protected opinions. The rest was barred by the statute of limitations, with appeal possible on both limitations and opinion protection. The matter may affect Rosenbaum’s counterclaim against Paul Facinelli, who previously sued Rosenbaum over a Head Start case series.
