Kangaroo Justice

How Slander Became a Devastating Reality... When Robert E. Lee Elliott's wife was the target of slander-with hundreds of libelous posters printed and distributed around town with her picture on them-he did what anyone would do: He filed a lawsuit against the couple responsible for the defamation of his wife's character-and he won. But a lawyer turned the judgment against the couple around, making them the injured party in an unbelievable turn of events. Kangaroo Justice is the true story of how the author and his wife were faced with an order demanding they pay the couple $125,000 or face having their home and property auctioned off. It's the raw, brutally honest story of how a person can lose everything and have their life completely destroyed by the myth of due process.
