Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin returns to court Monday
for a retrial of her libel case against The New York Times related to a
2017 editorial that falsely, or mistakenly, linked her to a mass shooting
six years earlier in which then-Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was critically wounded.
The Times admitted that the editorial was inaccurate, but corrected it and called it an "honest mistake."
In the first trial, in 2022, nine jurors unanimously decided the newspaper could not be held liable for the editorial, which falsely linked her
campaign rhetoric to the mass shooting.
However, Judge Jed S. Rakoff, in Manhattan, rejected Palin�s claims in a
ruling issued while a jury deliberated. The judge then let jurors deliver
their verdict, which went against Palin, according to the Associated
Press.
The trial, expected to last a week, comes after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals restored the case last year. Jury selection is scheduled to
begin Monday morning.
Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander thinks the newspaper will prevail
in the retrial.
�That reference was an unintended error, and quickly corrected," he said. "We�re confident we will prevail and intend to vigorously defend the
case."
Palin, a onetime Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor, says the editorial damaged her reputation and career.
