A federal judge said he would reject Sarah Palin’s allegations that she was defamed by the New York Times, ruling that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate’s claims presented at trial were insufficient to prove her case.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff announced his decision Monday while jurors were still deliberating. He said he would dismiss Ms. Palin’s complaint after they return a verdict.
Judge Rakoff’s decision follows a rare libel trial that probed the inner workings of a national news outlet. Ms. Palin and leading figures from the Times testified in the trial, which was held last week. The judge said allowing the jury to finish its work would benefit an appeals court when it reviews the case—and potentially help avoid the need for a retrial if his decision is overturned.
