In the interest of full disclosure, and in order to clear up confusion about how our case ended, I have decided to publish our
final letter to the Cour de Cassation. This letter was translated into French and mailed to the court in June 2016. We never received a reply. In fact, we never received anything. Not even a written decision.
One of the most disappointing things about our case was the number of people who could have lifted a finger to help, but did nothing. Plenty of people knew that John Szczepaniak was living in France when he committed his libel. To our knowledge, not a single one has reached out to us or informed others of what they knew.
