Assignment:
Paladin Press published a book Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors, which provided instructions for would-be contract murderers. Lawrence Horn hired James Perry, a contract killer, to murder his ex-wife and their brain-damaged son, after which Horn expected to inherit a $2 million trust fund intended for the boy. Perry, using principles studied in the Paladin murder text, suffocated the boy and fatally shot the ex-wife and an overnight nurse. A sister of the ex-wife sued Paladin Press in a civil case for damages for aiding and abetting the murderer. Is the publication of an instructional book for murder protected by the First Amendment from a civil lawsuit?
