Sarah Palin's positive COVID test forces postponement of New York Times defamation trial
CBSSep 09, 2021
Palin plans to seek a new trial, disqualification of the judge, and interviews of the jurors - amongst other motions - following the loss of a defamation suit against the New York Times.
A number of jurors reportedly learned of the judge's intention to dismiss her case before the jury ruled against her in the original trial.
Palin's first trial was a total fracas. Juror deliberations were influenced by the judge's planned ruling popping up on smartphones. There is no way she got a fair trial.
Judge Rakoff has been adamant that the notifications played no role whatsoever in jury deliberations. Palin is relentlessly pursuing a case she cannot win.
