The law would recognise in such cases the right of the accused to prove that events referred to in their coverage in fact happened as they described them, and to prove even the "plausibility of the qualities attributed to the person (referred to)", which may absolve the accused from responsibility, unless it can be demonstrated that he or she acted with "real malice." Thus, those making even erroneous assertions are protected, since their intention to damage the other person's reputation or to violate the person's right to privacy will be examined.
La norma reconoce el derecho del acusado a probar en estos casos, "la verdad de los hechos" e incluso "la verosimilitud de las calidades atribuidas a la persona", lo cual podrá eximirlo de responsabilidad, salvo que se demuestre que actuó con "real malicia".
