Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the dismissal of a defamation complaint on the merits
Extracted holding
He lacked standing because he was not a victim within the meaning of the LAVI and had no constitutional right to prosecution; his complaint was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
A merely injured person who is not directly affected in physical, psychological, or sexual integrity may only complain of formal denial of justice-type violations. The appellant raised only merits-type grievances concerning facts, law, and evidence.
