Devin McRae was quoted in Brian Flood’s The Wrap article “Can Prince’s Estate Sue the National Enquirer for Saying He Had AIDS?” The piece discusses the possible legal recourse Prince’s estate has regarding the National Enquirer’s front page story alleging the artist died from the disease. According to Devin, a case for libel would be difficult, as the estate would have to prove that the Enquirer’s story had a negative effect on its assets.

“The civil justice system doesn’t always provide recourse for something, that sensibly ought to have some sort of remedy,” Devin said. “If the Enquirer’s report turns out to be false, then sometimes the adverse publicity from that itself would be recourse. It would diminish the reputation of the Enquirer.”
