Palin Retrial: New York Times Defamation Case Resumes
Tap title to read story
Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against the New York Times is underway in a retrial. Palin sued the Times in 2017 over an editorial falsely linking her to a mass shooting. A previous trial ruled against Palin, but she successfully appealed. This retrial, before Judge Jed S. Rakoff, focuses on whether the Times knowingly published a false statement. The legal hurdle requires Palin to prove 'actual malice'. The case is significant given the changing media landscape and recent high-profile defamation cases.
