Supermedia, a television station, was conducting a "person on the street" interview segment live for its evening "magazine" show and asking citizens of the community what they thought were the biggest problems facing the city. When the interviewer stopped Don and asked him the question, he replied, "Corruption in city government, particularly the mayor." William, mayor of the city, has now brought an action for defamation against Don. At trial, William has produced testimony as to his honesty and good character. Which of the following evidence could Don properly adduce at trial as part of his defense? I. The fact that William was convicted two years ago of taking a bribe to award a city contract for solid waste disposal. II. The testimony of Harold, a local newspaper editor, that William is known throughout the state as a corrupt politician. III. The testimony of Allen, a former campaign manager of William's, that William was corrupt.
