ROMAINE V. KALLINGER
109 N.J. 282, 537 A.2d 284 (1988)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from a defamation case. Romaine (P), crime victims,
challenged a judgment, which affirmed the dismissal of P's claims of defamation and invasion
of privacy against Kallinger (D), publisher and author.
FACTS: A nonfiction book was written about a man who went on a criminal rampage. One
episode described events in the Romaine house. Part of the episode described a Maria
Fasching as very good natured, and her friend Randi Romaine (P). P claimed that the
following sentence accused her of criminality or associations with criminals: 'Besides,
Maria was eager for news from Randi about a junkie they both knew who was doing time in
prison.' P sued the publisher and the author. The trial court granted D's motion for summary
judgment which was affirmed at the appellate level.
