Kim,  'defamation of character' is a civil matter, not criminal.  No one
is coming to your house to arrest you on this one.

I would find out about this statement.  Something doesn't sound right.
If the photos were taken on premises by any authority that entered the
premises with an illegal or nonexistent search warrant, then a court can
suppress any evidence obtained in that manner.  If 'you' took the photos
and she has been cleared of all charges, your distribution of those photos
on your web site could be harmful to her right to do business and could be
actionable.  (Makes no difference what your opinion is..if she has been
cleared of any and all charges stemming from the original SPCA charges,
your actions, no matter how honorable ARE actionable.)

Legally, the attorney can't.  He can request it and if you don't, he could
sue you.  If a court has suppressed any of the information you have on
line, then the attorney must show you the court order and exactly what
has been suppressed.  You can find this out yourself by getting the case
number and reviewing what has transpired in that court case.
 
Hopefully an attorney reads your post and can respond much more accurately
than I.  (I am not an attorney!  Pretty obvious with my ramblings!)
