Here’s The Story:
Ms. Regina Wade is suing Mr. Arthur Golden for Defamation after he’s accused her of stealing a family heirloom.
She claims she didn’t steal it—and that she lost business because of his accusations.
With 12 years running, nationally-acclaimed Defamation by Todd Logan is an “in-your-face mashup of race, class, religion, and law that gives you a view of two very different worlds… and then enlists you to take a stand.”
