More like he loses even if he wins. Cutting off a video and twisting the message that Mrs. Sherrod said to suit his agenda rather than brevity's sake is another kettle of fish. Did he ever at any time in this episode made an attempt of the veracity of what he was claiming? Add to the fact that he hasn't even attempted to apologize for Mrs. Sherrod for his actions implies willful intent in his actions to me. It'll be up to the court to decide whether it's willful and malicious intent on his part, though.
The only way I can see him winning if a lawyer finds a technicality to get him off. It'll have to be an expensive lawyer. No mainstream lawyer will want to be tarred with the same brush as him. Unless they're looking for publicity, IMO. No mainstream Republican would want to be associated with this fiasco. Not even a financial link.Otoh, I'm betting that there will be a pro bono legal tm for Mrs. Sherrod. And proof of burden would be much lower in a civil case than in a criminal one.
Even if Breitbart does win it, he'll be so beggared by court costs and the stink raised by this case that he'll be broke and a pariah by the time this is done. Some other zealot will take up his banner, but he'll be yesterday's news when this is over.
