The letter indicates that copies were distributed to Officer Shea of the Newport Police Department, the upstairs tenant, her son and her attorney. In their answer to Ms. Davenport-Metcalfs libel complaint, plaintiffs do not deny distributing copies of the letter. Rather, they deny that the letter is libelous and state that they “cannot control who, other than involved recipients, was allowed to read the documentation which states both fact and opinion as perceived by the [plaintiffs].” As is characterized by the entire relationship between these parties, the libel and slander suit may well have been an overreaction to plaintiffs’ letter; however, plaintiffs have failed to set forth sufficient facts tending to show that it was “ ‘instituted maliciously and without probable cause.’ ” See Toste Farm Corp., 798 A.2d at 907.
