The Coral Gables mayor took a loss in his defamation claim against a radio station where the politician sued over a dialogue between the host and a guest in a radio segment during which they said he was under investigation “for serious, deceitful, illegal and actionable behavior.”
Mason A. Pertnoy, a partner at Krinzman Huss Lubetsky Feldman & Hotte who represents the plaintiff, Vince Lago, said the Miami-Dade Circuit Court dismissal order provides his client the opportunity to amend the complaint to set forth additional facts that establish that the defendant acted with actual malice.
