- explaining that "[t]here are two types of defamation: libel, which involves the use of print media to publish the defamatory comment, and slander, which involves the oral expression of a defamatory comment"
- concluding that libelous statements to state attorney general were not privileged because they were not material to proposed litigation

Monroe, J., concurs.
