Late last year, she was granted a new trial on limited issues by the Second Circuit. Before the capable USDC Judge Jed Rakoff, she has had yet another jury empaneled, in Manhattan. And. . . this afternoon -- they came back with ANOTHER verdict exonerating the NYT.
That's oh-for-three for old Sarah "I can see Russia from my font yard" Palin. And I love it. Here's the bit from InnerCityPress, live, in the courtroom:
. . .All rise! Judge Rakoff: We have a verdict. File it as Court Exhibit 1. Jury entering!
Judge Rakoff: I will not comment on the verdict -- but on what a good jury you have been. I will open the verdict envelope. . . .
Foreperson: Defendants not liable. . . .
This was an editorial -- an OPINION piece. It suggested that Palin's 2017 rhetoric was causing violence. That is an opinion -- not a false statement. So, she lost. Afterall, you cannot libel garbage. . . by saying it stinks. Truth is an absolute defense. Onward -- again!
