I need help answering this fact patter please!!! :

During a face to face conversation in a classroom with Professor Smith, Professor B called Professor Smith a pimp, a false factual statement damaging to Professor Smith's reputation. But no one overheard the conversation. Immediately thereafter, however, Professor B t wrote on the classroom white board, \"Professor Smith is a Pimp.\" Professor B then left the classroom, and after he left Professor Smith erased what had been written on the white board before anyone saw what had been written. But, soon thereafter Professor B encountered Jerry, a student, and Professor B told Jerry Professor Smith had multiple felony convictions. The Professor believed his statement was false and he was only trying to hurt Professor Smith but in reality Professor B's statement was true. And later that day, the University newspaper published a story written by Professor B in which he accused Professor Smith of having embezzled funds from the University. The Professor honestly believed what he wrote about Professor Smith embezzling funds was true, but it turned out that what had been written was factually false. Will Professor Smith (who is not a public gure or ofcial) prevail in his lawsuit for defamation against the Professor? {i.e., does Professor Smith have all of the elements of a valid defamation claim) based upon: Screen Shot 2021- A. Professor B's statement directly to Professor Smith. Discuss. B. the statement written on the white board? Discuss. C. the Professor's statements to Jerry? Discuss. D. the Professor's Article in the University newspaper? Discuss. E. If Professor Smith was a public gure would that change his burden of proof in establishing Professor B defamed him? Explain
