Law Homework Help

I don’t know how to handle this Criminal Justice question and need guidance.

Question I – Bobby Bigmouth is sued for slander by his boss.

Bobby argues that he cannot be sued for slander because he did not publish any statement.

He argues that his alleged slanderous comment was not published because he just made the comment to a co-worker about his boss rather than making that statement to a reporter to be published.

Is Bobby’s argument, correct?
