text: if a statment can be proven 100% true is it libel or slander? i some thing said or written is 100 % true is it  libel slander or is it true  ie stated in court papers non payment of court judgement the truth is always a flawless defense for libel or slander.  there may be other charges for malicious spreading of information to intentionally harm someone, but libel or slander can never be charged if the information is known to be true.
