Carroll 11/03/2006 In a defamation case, the circuit court erred in granting summary judgment for the defendant where the material factual allegations of plaintiff's motion for judgment remained in dispute. Plaintiff did not, by entering an Alford plea to criminal charges arising out of the allegedly defamatory statements, make any concessions of fact which, through application of the doctrine of judicial estoppel, raised a legal bar to his action. The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
