In his ruling, Judge Henry noted that despite CNN's claim of extensive newsgathering, it had no evidence that Young engaged in any criminal activity. This raised concerns about actual malice on the part of the network.
Judge Henry emphasized that the network's actions resulted in Young being portrayed as a 'bad actor' without proof of wrongdoing, highlighting the potential impact of media narratives on individuals.
Judge Henry dismissed CNN's defense attempting to frame the situation as a debate between Taliban law and international standards, likening it instead to historical injustices, reinforcing the gravity of the allegations against CNN.
