That would be headline news and go a long way to repairing his reputation. From there it’s just like any other case of defamation. It’s all he said she said.

Can't. That's the beauty of racial accusations. No punishment is harsh enough

Defamation is certainly actionable. There are other witnesses as well that

How do you prove it? This is totally a "he said- he said" thing now. If no one heard it, he will claim it was whispered.

He can still file for assault or battery right?

There are lots of other players as witnesses.

Even if no one heard it, does not mean he didn't say it. Garrett knows this. Unless Rudolph was mic'ed up.

No, but it's evidence that it didn't happen because if he said it,

OJ lost the civil case for a crime of which he was found not guilty.

How do you prove a negative?

It’s the statement that a lawsuit makes

CaliWG

You cant prove it wasnt said. Microphones dont clearly pick up everything said.

The standard in civil court is more likely than not

CaliWG

No, in fact it is not evidence.

Ozymandias

It's evidence in favor of defamation.

Proving a negative is easy: (1) Rudolph testifies he didn't say it; (2)
