Appeals Court Tosses Defamation Suit Brought By A Seth Rich Murder Conspiracy Theorist

The murder of Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich ignited a massive wave of conspiracy theories. The murder is still unsolved, but was considered to be the violent outcome of an attempted robbery by law enforcement.

Despite the lack of supporting evidence, a bunch of right-wing conspiracy theorists began suggesting Rich was murdered because of his alleged link to leaked DNC emails. This speculation was conclusively false, which led to Rich’s survivors suing lots of right-wing personalities for defamation.
