In what is being hailed as a victory for the First Amendment, a Superior Court judge dismissed claims yesterday brought by Tom Scholz, the founder of the band Boston, against the Herald over articles reporting on the rocker’s lawsuit against the paper.

Scholz is suing the Herald over three 2007 Inside Track columns that he claims imply he drove fellow band member Brad Delp to commit suicide in March 2007. In May of 2010, the Herald published several articles reporting on Scholz’s lawsuit and the parties’ respective litigation positions in it. Scholz claimed that the Herald’s May 2010 articles had defamed him and caused him emotional distress.
