The opinion

TONGUE, J.,

concurring.

I doubt whether the fact that a private citizen has sustained “no peculiar or special deprivation independent of that of the public generally” necessarily provides complete immunity to a public official who acts “maliciously and intentionally,” as the majority would appear to hold. Under the facts and record in this case, however, I concur with the result reached by the majority.

This is a copy of a public record, reproduced as it was published. It is not legal advice, and it may not be the version a court would rely on. Check the official source before you cite it.
