Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Actual malice requires a finding by the jury that the defendant made the defamatory statements knowing they were false, or in reckless disregard as to their truth or falsity. Express malice requires a finding by the jury that the defendant made defamatory statements solely from spite or ill will. The jury found that OTC's terminal manager Behling made defamatory statements solely from spite or ill will. This is express malice.. Actual malice is not required.
