I believe that legally, truth is a defense against a charge of slander.
And while Glatt is probably being prudent about getting all the details perfect, IMHO it is the libelous details that you must have correct to use the truth defense. Incorrect details that do not significantly affect the libelous material should not undermine the truth defense. IMHO, IANAL, ETC.
