How can Andrew Colborn sue Making a Murderer for defamation over not being a public official? He was a sheriff. USSC deferred to relevant state laws and WI sheriffs are elected (deputies are appointed) so doesn’t that imply public figure automatically?
so many colours! the blues were a bit calmer than this but i wanted to show all the variations near the pinks, yellows, and oranges.
