A jury rejected former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's claim that The Times maliciously damaged her reputation with an editorial linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting. The verdict came after a judge already said he'd rule to dismiss the case. FOX13
At the trial, Palin cast herself as a victim of biased journalism by a left-leaning, elitist media institution eager to embarrass a pro-gun rights politician.
In closing arguments, Palin lawyer Kenneth Turkel called the editorial an example of how The Times "treated people on the right they don't agree with. ... They don't care. She's just one of 'them.'" The First Amendment protects journalists "who make an honest mistake when they write about a person like Sarah Palin … That's all this was about - an honest mistake," Axelrod said.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff had informed lawyers on Monday with the jury outside the courtroom that Palin had. Rakoff had said he would wait to formally enter the judgment when the trial ends.
