Some positive news for sure. When so much negative happens around us it's good to have something go our way for once.

Internet Super Hero Blogger Facing Civil Action Based on Antiquated WV State Law

My name is James Fredrick Jensen. I am Canadian that through the content I provided or was used by a Blogger Norman Alderman has resulted in a Civil Action against the individual. Pocahontas County Resident Norman Alderman: Crusader Or Stalker. Norm is and elderly man that blogs about public officials and corruption in the State of West Virginia.

Why should the media care or follow this Story? Protecting our rights including yours of the media.

700,000 individuals follow this blogger.

The action filed is based on WV State law see §3-8-11. This law does not relate to the case at hand it has been used as the basis to have the case filed against Alderman. If Alderman looses he will be forced to shut down his Blog.

We have the David and Goliath part of the story. A corrupt or questionable assistant prosecuting attorney formerly of the old boys club big law firm in WV goes after a Blogger.

If this case is allowed to proceed without media attention, if Mr. Alderman would loose this case, what will the future for Bloggers in WV hold? Or in other states.

In Affidavits filed as part of this legal process, one Charles Bailey a senior partner in the law firm of Bailey and Wyant and one Robert P. Martin are claiming this blogger Norman Alderman has slandered and defamed the parties by posting content about my relationship with Bailey and Wyant and one Robert P. Martin.

Content I have posted on line has been carefully screened for slander and defamation. What I have posted on line about my relationship with Bailey and Wyant and one Robert P. Martin is factual and correct. Bailey and Wyant has attempted to have my content removed by means of DMCA Takedown Notice. One article out of hundreds has been removed.

I am not seeking publicity for myself. I feel that Norman Alderman is the victim of Bailey and Wyant and one Robert P. Martin. By this action they are attempting to hide the truth about the conduct of Bailey and Wyant and one Robert P. Martin. Conduct which has been exposed by Norman Alderman through his Blog.

See case information.
