California Gov. Gray Davis has vetoed legislation that would have made the state's anti-SLAPP statute unavailable to certain defendants -- particularly those engaged in the sale or lease of goods or services. Davis said that he was concerned that the proposed revision to the state's law prohibiting strategic lawsuits against public participation "unduly interferes" with judicial discretion to ensure free speech protection.
