"The jury ultimately cleared The New York Times of liability, emphasizing the absence of 'actual malice' in their reporting regarding Sarah Palin, thus upholding First Amendment protections."
"After a quick deliberation, the nine-person jury in federal court determined that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin did not meet the legal standard to prove her defamation case against The New York Times."
A jury in Manhattan found The New York Times not liable for defamation in a case brought by former Governor Sarah Palin. She claimed a 2017 editorial connected her to a mass shooting, which she argued was false and damaging. The jury deliberated for two hours before concluding that Palin failed to show that the article was published with 'actual malice,' a necessary legal threshold in defamation cases against media entities. The Times had issued a correction soon after the editorial was published. As the situation evolves, further updates are anticipated.
