So public figures must show either reckless or intentional and private figures must only show negligence. That makes sense, rather than strict liability. But if you accuse someone of a crime they didn't commit, I betcha it won't be too hard for him or her to prove negligence unless you REALLY did your homework. I'd find that plaintiff pretty sympathetic if wrongly labeled a shill.
