Judge in Sarah Palin's defamation suit against New York Times says he will dismiss case
CNN
Judge Jed Rakoff, the judge overseeing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, said Monday afternoon that he will dismiss the suit, ruling Palin's team did not prove a key element of its case.
Rakoff's ruling came while the jury is deliberating over a verdict -- and Rakoff said he will allow the jury to continue deliberating and to reach a verdict, and will dismiss the case once it has done so.
Rakoff presented his findings in court on Monday with an eye toward an inevitable appeals process.
