A federal judge announced Monday afternoon that he would dismiss former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, saying her legal team had failed to reach the high standards required for public figures to make their case.
The case centered on a June 2017 Times editorial that Palin’s attorneys argued accused her of inciting murder six years earlier in a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that also gravely wounded then-Rep. Gabby Giffords.
And with evident reluctance, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff embraced that reasoning, saying Palin’s lawyers failed to present any such evidence against Bennet, who had inserted the problematic language in the article. “Ms. Palin was subjected to an ultimately unsupported and very serious allegation that Mr. Bennet chose to revisit seven years or so after the underlying events,” Rakoff said. “So I don’t mean to be misunderstood. I think this is an example of very unfortunate editorializing on the part of the Times.”
