Yes I would have. Since Skyhorse would not have been obliged to defend me.
But in my view, Bugliosi had no case, and neither did Hanks.
The 3 tiered libel test is very difficult to prove for a celebrity:
1. They have to prove the info was false
2. That the writer knew if was false
3. That this was done with reckless disregard for the truth and with malicious intent.
That test could not have been proven about anything I wrote about Hanks or Vince. Everything I wrote about both men was annotated to a credible source.
