In my Sunday column, I reported on the defamation lawsuit filed against a St. Paul blogger, Dennis Lang, by Mahendra Trivedi. I plan to follow this case as it proceeds through the courts, now that Ramsey District Judge Robert Awsumb declined to dismiss the case and directed Lang to hand over documents to Trivedi ahead of trial.
