Any campaign season, flyers always flood our mailboxes – and they are often full of questionable claims. But Wang Stoneback said many about her were lies.The flyers portrayed Wang Stoneback as being soft on gun violence prevention. They were distributed by and on behalf of her opponent, state Rep. Kevin Olickal , who went on to beat her in the Democratic primary last year.
"Except in politics, and in public figures, you can lie – you just can't lie a real lot," said election lawyer Burt Odelson."You can pretty much say whatever you want in a campaign," said associate criminal justice professor Michael Lawlor."We're not talking about misleading statements," Lawlor said."We're talking about statements of fact that are actually totally not true – and you knew it was false when you said it, and you did it out of malice.
