I want to post evidence on the Internet of a trial that I won, in order to save my reputation. Can I post this evidence even if it is defamatory against my opponent in this case?

Are you intending to tell untruths?

Absolutely not, but can the posting of this be construed as an intentional infliction of emotional distress? The posting is a statement of an individual that was introduced as evidence.

How important is this? What are the damages to your reputation? How have you suffered? Your reputation among friends? Family? Coworkers? Business contacts? The world?
